We are seeking an experienced and motivated Platform Validation Engineer to validate system hardware and printed circuit board (PCB) functionality and ensure robust power and signal margins across all interfaces. In this role, you will collect and analyze lab data to validate hardware performance, support post-silicon characterization, and ensure reliable operation across multiple subsystems, including PCIe and I2C.
Job Responsibility:
Perform system hardware and PCB functional verification to ensure all features meet design specifications, including validation of power and signal integrity margins
Collect and analyze lab data to verify power delivery, signal integrity, and overall system robustness
Support post-silicon validation by identifying key performance metrics and conducting PVT, power, and thermal characterization
Evaluate PCIe performance, including signal integrity, eye opening measurements (EOM), and bit error rate (BER), to ensure adequate operating margins
Identify hardware issues, perform root cause analysis, and drive issues to resolution in collaboration with cross-functional teams
Design and execute DOE experiments to debug hardware issues and optimize system performance
Validate power sequencing, microcontroller functionality, and conduct power efficiency, noise, and transient analysis
Perform detailed characterization of I2C bus systems to ensure compliance with design requirements
Track and document PCB issues and validation results, ensuring clear communication with relevant stakeholders
Collaborate closely with design, firmware, and system engineering teams to ensure end-to-end hardware quality
Requirements:
A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
Proven experience with hardware validation, lab testing, and PCB-level debugging
Strong understanding of power integrity and signal integrity principles and measurement techniques
Familiarity with PCIe, I2C, and other common hardware interfaces and protocols
Experience using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and power supplies
Hands-on experience debugging hardware issues and performing root cause analysis
Knowledge of power sequencing and microcontroller-based systems
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including experience with scripting languages such as Python or Matlab
Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams
