Memory Electrical Validation Engineer

Job Title

Intel is a company of bold and curious inventors and problem solvers who create some of the most astounding technology advancements and experiences in the world.

This role requires regular onsite presence to fulfill essential job responsibilities.

Defines electrical validation strategy for memory IO interfaces to achieve optimized electrical performance and meet product production goals.

Validates circuit analog performance, electrical signal integrity compliance to industry standard specifications, and system level margin for stable operation and production target prediction.

Defines MRC (Memory Reference Code) requirements for validation and margin optimization and analyzes, validates, debugs, and optimizes MRC steps and values to optimize margins and quality.

Conducts and participates in multidisciplinary research in the design, development, testing, validation, and utilization of memory IO and mixed signal architectures inclusive of industry standard datacom applications and custom Intel interfaces.

Develops procedures, analysis, and designs for validation, validation infrastructure, and systems margin validation.

Analyzes internal and external customer returns with emphasis on improving yields and driving test escape closure.

Applies and uses independent evaluation to select components and equipment based on analysis of specifications, performance, and reliability.

Performs debug to identify root causes and resolves all functional and triage failures for electrical issues.

Tests interactions between various electrical design features using validation infrastructure.

Applies understanding of DFT and DFM to collaborate with architecture, design, and presilicon verification teams to ensure capability to validate and test IO architecture implementations.

Prepares validation specifications, evaluates IP, and generates test reports. Ensures products conform to standards and specifications.
