• Strong grasp of PHY circuitry fundamentals (DLLs, I/O, calibration).
• Familiarity with signal integrity and probing techniques for memory buses.
• Skilled in using lab instruments (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, etc.).
• Detail-oriented with a focus on quality and ownership of deliverables.
• Excellent communication skills—both verbal and written.
• Experience with hands-on lab work, including soldering and system instrumentation.
• Experience applying machine learning or data science techniques to hardware validation or silicon debug.
• Knowledge of statistical modeling and data visualization for large-scale silicon test datasets.
• Ability to build and maintain automated pipelines for data collection, labeling, and model training.
• Understanding how AI can be used to enhance lab instrumentation workflows and regression analysis.

• Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
• Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
