Senior Test Lead

Job description

We are looking for a hands-on Electrical Engineer (EE) to perform high-speed SerDes characterization, validation, and debug for AI silicon and systems. The ideal candidate has deep experience with PCIe Gen6 and high-speed Ethernet SerDes and is comfortable operating advanced signal-integrity and SerDes characterization equipment. Responsibilities Perform SerDes electrical characterization, compliance testing, and debug . Characterize PCIe Gen6 and high-speed Ethernet interfaces across voltage, temperature, and operating conditions. Execute eye diagram, jitter, BER, margining, and signal-integrity measurements . Debug link-training, signal-integrity, and board/channel issues. Operate high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, BERTs, VNAs, protocol analyzers, and compliance test equipment . Analyze characterization data and work with silicon, board, firmware, and validation teams to resolve issues. Develop and automate characterization flows and data collection where applicable. Qualifications BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience. Strong hands-on experience with high-speed SerDes characterization and debug . Experience with PCIe Gen6 and high-speed Ethernet SerDes strongly preferred. Strong understanding of signal integrity, jitter, eye diagrams, BER, equalization, channel loss, and link margining . Hands-on experience with high-speed scopes, BERTs, VNAs, probes/fixtures, and SerDes compliance equipment . Experience with board-level signal-integrity debug and silicon bring-up. Experience with AI accelerators, CPUs/GPUs, server silicon, or other complex SoCs preferred. Python or other scripting experience for test automation and characterization analysis is a plus. Ideal candidate: A hands-on EE who has personally characterized and debugged PCIe Gen6/Ethernet SerDes , can independently operate high-speed characterization equipment, and can drive problems from measurement through root cause .
