Hiring Manager
Prachi Panwar
Responsibilities
Electrical validation of different IOs (PCIe, USB3, UFS, DP, HDMI, etc.) in different NVIDIA chips (GPU/SOC). This involves understanding test plan
Setting up the DUT for different test cases - execute those test cases - record observation for each test case clearly
Understand spec expectation on and flag in case DUT fails to meet that expectation on
First level triage of issues/failures (like analyze and confirm that it is an actual failure and not because of some issue in board or measurement setup or other) and subsequent data collect on to root-cause the failures and find out a fix
Qualification
Required
B.E degree with Electrical/Electronic as major subjects
2 to 5 years of relevant work experience
Clarity on signal integrity concepts (e.g., insertion loss, reflections, cross talk, etc.)
Clarity on signal quality parameters (e.g., eye diagram, jitter, frequency ppm, duty cycle, etc.) and how to measure those parameters
Familiarity of working in lab environment and have strong knowledge of using different equipment like DSO, Multimeter, Power supplies. (e.g., idea about ESD, minimum oscilloscope/probe BW required for measurement, etc.)
Knowledge to understand board design from schematics (.pdf file) and layout (.brd file - using Cadence Allegro tool) (e.g., should be able to understand signal/power topology from schematics, should be able to locate test points in PCB for signal of interest, etc.)
Knowledge to assemble a x86 motherboard (e.g., connect SMPS, DRAM cards, PCIe AIC, display, other peripherals, etc. to x86 motherboard)
Knowledge of board/chip bring-up flow (e.g., idea on list of items to verify before/after attaching chip to board like verifying No-Stuff components, impedance of voltage rails, etc.)
Proficiency in Windows & Linux OS and in Microsoft Office tools (e.g., In Linux – navigate folders, edit text files, move/copy files, SSH, execute scripts, etc.)
Familiarity with scripting languages like Python/Perl (e.g., idea about installing different python modules, execute python scripts, etc.)
Be an effective team player (e.g., volunteer to take up work, own up the task and approach folks to get things done, etc.)
Communicate observation/requirement in a crisp and straightforward way
Engineer should be comfortable working from office (lab) everyday (excluding holidays)
Preferred
Knowledge and hands-on experience on high speed SERDES IO (like PCIe, USB3, UFS, Ethernet, etc.) validation (e.g., eye measurement, JTOL testing, etc.)
Knowledge and hands-on experience of using equipment like BERT (Bit Error Ratio Tester), PCIe/USB3/UFS Logic Analyzer, etc
Knowledge and hands-on experience on Silicon PVT characterization
Knowledge and hands-on experience on board bring-up and testing
