- Design and execute experiments in both the lab and factory environments
- Leverage automation tools to collect volume failing data and prioritize fails for analysis
- Work with the platform & Firmware teams to ensure all required features are available for coverage and diagnostics
- Work with the lab team with test systems, tools, and lab equipment to fully analyze issues
- Influence design team for debug and coverage features in next generation silicon
- Work closely with the DFT, verification, emulation and post silicon validation teams on test coverage
- Drive continuous improvement by leverage learning from the current product to the next
- Drive process improvements in the end-to-end process (both design and manufacturing)
- Direct in-depth team analysis including voltage/frequency shmoos over temperature, characterization of power measurement features, guard-band analysis, etc.
About You
- Minimum of 8 years related work experience
- Experience in processor system level validation -- CPU cores, DDR, PCIe
