Silicon Validation Engineer

This role involves the comprehensive bench-level validation, bring-up, and characterization of DDR memory interfaces within Apple's cutting-edge SoCs. You will be responsible for developing and executing electrical tests, automating data collection, and providing crucial design feedback through detailed analysis and reporting. Success in this position requires a hands-on approach to debugging complex silicon issues and a strong understanding of signal and power integrity measurements. Minimum Qualifications BS and 10 +years of relevant industry experience Preferred Qualifications Master's and or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field. Proven experience in DDR memory validation, characterization, or bring-up. Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or MATLAB for test automation and data analysis. Strong hands-on lab skills with test equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and BERTs. Deep understanding of signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) concepts and measurement techniques. Demonstrated ability to debug complex silicon issues and drive root cause analysis. Experience collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams (Design, System HW, SW, ATE). Familiarity with SoC architecture and various on-chip interfaces (e.g., JTAG, SPI).
