Job Description

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead first‑silicon bring‑up, board validation, and early silicon debug.
• Develop and complete detailed electrical characterization plans covering DC, AC, parametric, and functional measurements.
• Characterize high‑speed interfaces such as DDR/LPDDR, SerDes, MIPI, UFS, or custom Micron PHYs.
• Perform post‑silicon electrical characterization of ASIC/SoC/Memory products across process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) corners.
• Conduct lab measurements using equipment such as Oscilloscopes, BERTs, VNAs, Spectrum analyzers, Waveform generators, and support tools.
• Involve in Board design activities with team to gather and place custom requirements as per Chaz.
• Perform signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), Jitter, Eye‑diagram, and compliance testing.
• Debug silicon issues related to timing, noise, stability, margin loss, and functional failures.
• Analyze failures and recommend design, firmware, or test fixes.
• Develop Python/MATLAB-based automation for measurements, data collection, and analysis.
• Process large volumes of lab and silicon data to extract trends, margins, and correlations.
• Generate concise characterization reports with clear conclusions and recommendations.
• Work closely with design, pre‑silicon verification, product engineering, firmware, test, and systems teams.
• Correlate post‑silicon results with simulation and pre‑silicon expectations to identify root causes of gaps.
• Work closely with Design Team & propose enhancements and design changes to tackle next generation challenges.
• Contribute to silicon learning documentation and guidelines for comprehensive Chaz activities.

Required Qualifications:

• 6 to 8 years of Industry experience in High Speed Post Silicon Electrical Characterization Domain
