SI/PI Engineer

Role : PCIE Characterization Engineer

Location : Palo Alto, CA

Duration: Contract

• 5+ years post-silicon electrical characterization, HSIO validation, or memory electrical validation of SoC PHYs
• Hands-on ownership of PCIe or Ethernet and some experience with UFS or LPDDR5.
• Lab fluency: high-speed oscilloscopes, BERT, VNA/TDR, protocol and logic analyzers; you have personally taken eyes, jitter, BER, and S-parameter data and used it to close a silicon issue
• Working knowledge of signal integrity, SerDes, silicon PVT sensitivity, and JEDEC / PCI-SIG / MIPI-UFS electrical specs
• Ability to read schematics and layout, debug at the probe point, and separate PHY vs. package vs. board vs. firmware
• Scripting for lab automation and data analysis (Python preferred)
• Clear written and verbal communication; you can present a margin plot and a root-cause story to design and program teams.
