Senior System Validation Engineer
Lead end-to-end silicon and system validation for coherent DSP chips used in high-speed optical transceiver modules. Define validation methods, develop automated test environments, and work with architecture, firmware, ASIC, optical, and algorithms teams to improve silicon quality and performance.
Responsabilidades
- Lead validation of coherent DSP features, algorithms, and system flows across temperature, voltage, and silicon corners
- Plan, design, and execute validation test plans for high-speed optical links
- Develop automated validation environments and regression frameworks using Python, SCPI, and laboratory tools
- Validate DSP performance and characterize SerDes, signal integrity, and analog/digital blocks
- Validate complete modules including coherent optics, drivers, TIAs, host interfaces, and control paths
- Debug bottlenecks across DSP, firmware, MACsec, and optical components
- Develop automated setups with BERTs, high-speed oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and environmental chambers
- Own continuous regression, log analysis, and KPI monitoring
- Lead root-cause analysis across digital design, firmware, optics, analog PHY, and packaging
- Recommend corrective actions and design improvements with ASIC and firmware teams
