Requirements

  • B.Sc. in electrical engineering
  • Experience of 2+ years with component debugging, ASIC performance and power characterization
  • Knowledge in python/C/C++
  • Understanding of board-IC interactions
  • Experience with writing software for hardware interaction

Responsibilities

  • Running functional and structural tests on the system and correlating power/performance parameters to parametric data from ATE (production)
  • Analyzing effects of silicon/environmental considerations on key parameters
  • Building relevant DOEs, writing required scripts/functions/envelopes, debugging HW and SW issues during the activity, and analyzing results from the IC point of view
  • Writing tests (in python/C++) to test the ASIC in worst-case conditions
  • Understanding hardware specifications, the effect of the system board on IC performance considerations, software components that enable the desired functionality, and a variety of network protocols (e.g. Ethernet, PCIe)
  • Collaborating with hardware teams to understand high-level hardware design, focusing primarily on interaction with the IC and taking part in debugging software issues arising from hardware-software integration
  • Power measurements of networking ASICs in a multi-component system and correlating the power consumption to VLSI/timing principles
  • Setting operational conditions (operating F-V curve, temperature range), and characterizing power to performance tradeoffs
  • Analyzing discrepancies, refining test methodologies, and defining the post-silicon power model of networking ASICs and how it is affected by the power model of the other components in the systems
  • Working closely with design, test, and characterization teams to develop and implement robust test strategies that improve product quality and yield
