  • Ability to work on site in a hardware lab environment 5 days a week.
  • Experience in validating and debugging complex systems.
  • Outstanding verbal and written communication skills.
  • Proficient in collaborating across teams and suppliers to deliver quality products on tight schedules.
  • High-speed IO validation and SERDES validation experience (50GBaud/s and above) is a must.
  • Strong understanding of DSP-based high-speed SERDES architectures.
  • Coding experience with programming and scripting languages such as C/C++, JavaScript, and Python.

Responsibilities

  • Own validation of products from start to finish including test plan development, automation, and resource planning.
  • Collaborate with ODMs, component suppliers, and QA teams to ensure no gaps in coverage.
  • Coordinate internal and external teams in different time zones.
  • Develop system level stress and performance testing strategies using industry leading Deep Learning/AI applications.
  • Solve complex system level hardware and software issues on GPU accelerated computing platforms.
