Key Responsibilities

  • Validation Execution Lead end‑to‑end Validation Run execution in a high‑pressure, fast‑paced environment, ensuring on‑schedule starts/completions, risk‑aware re‑plans, and efficient IQP/ETV material usage.
  • Own time‑bound data crunching pipelines (automated log parsing, metrics aggregation, anomaly ranking) and deliver decision‑ready summary reports and sightings by agreed Cycle Time.
  • Guarantee coverage completeness across MBIST and flows; drive Hot/Cold corners, TSV screen/AQLK, async timing boundary coverage, and evidence‑backed closure.
  • Develop and debug test programs on SM3/Cobra and Advantest V93K; enforce code quality, reviews, and release discipline.
  • Align hardware configs (handler, socket, loadboard, probe card) to test intent and throughput targets.
  • Perform power/thermal characterization; correlate IDD/thermal data with performance/reliability; author recommendations for content changes and silicon fixes.
  • Architect and execute Verilog simulations (bench creation, stimulus, checkers, waveform analysis) to replicate platform sightings, validate hypotheses, and de‑risk content changes before deployment.
  • Build automation scripts and dashboards for anomaly detection, trend analysis, and coverage auditing.
  • Lead silicon debug across Design, Verification, Quality, and System Engineering; drive corrective action closure with clear root‑cause evidence.
  • Implement cycle‑time optimization strategies (parallelization, smarter sampling, content pruning, throughput tuning).
  • Contribute to DFMEA gap closure and codify 'Definition of Success' for validation quality.
  • Coach junior engineers on validation best practices, platform nuances, simulation methodology, and reporting standards.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's/Master's in Electrical or Computer Engineering (or related).
  • 8+ years in DRAM/HBM/NAND validation or product engineering.
  • At least 2 years of HBM Validation experience.
  • Test platform code development in C/C++, Python, and APG (Algorithmic Pattern Generator).
  • Strong expertise in MBIST (SM3/Cobra) and Mode (Advantest V93K) testing.
  • Verilog simulation expertise (bench architecture, stimulus/checkers, waveform/log analysis, correlation to platform behavior).
  • Proven ability to execute ValRuns and perform high‑speed I/O validation with eye/IDD characterization.
  • Advanced scripting and data analytics skills; Confluence/Jira and Git/Perforce experience.
