- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 3 years of experience in high-speed I/O validation, with a specific focus on USB PHY electrical characterisation and compliance testing.
- Experience in scripting for test automation and data analysis in Python.
- Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture.
- Experience in bench level IP bring-up and debugging, functional validation, characterisation, developing Bare metal bench tests and manufacturing support.
- Experience with Schematic/Layout reading, Board level hardware debug.
- Knowledge of USB Power Delivery electrical requirements and Type-C alternate modes (e.g., DisplayPort over USB-C).
- Ability to debug complex hardware and signal integrity issues at the electrical level.
- Work with pre and post-silicon teams to develop, simulate, and validate goal tests and provide documentation of the pre and post-silicon validation tests and ensure it is easy to use.
- Work with internal cross-functional teams, external silicon partners, and intellectual property (IP) vendors to functionally validate and parametrically characterize the silicon, including bare-metal, kernel, drivers, and real-time operating system (RTOS).
- Design Google's future products by owning bench level design validation and characterisation for High Speed Serial Interfaces (e.g., USB3.2, USB-DP, PCIe etc.).
- Characterize IP specific Signal Integrity, Power Integrity and Protocol validation test cases to evaluate IP performance at various operating conditions (i.e., voltage, process, temperature).
- Automate test cases using scripting languages like Python or Perl to improve efficiency and test coverage.
