Memory Electrical Validation Engineer

This role involves defining and validating electrical performance for memory IO interfaces, ensuring compliance with industry standards, and optimizing system margins. Responsibilities include developing validation strategies, analyzing and debugging Memory Reference Code (MRC), conducting multidisciplinary research in memory IO and mixed-signal architectures, and performing debug to identify root causes of electrical failures. The engineer will also collaborate with design teams to ensure validation capability and prepare test reports.

Must Have

• Define electrical validation strategy for memory IO interfaces.
• Validate circuit analog performance and electrical signal integrity compliance.
• Define, analyze, validate, debug, and optimize MRC steps and values.
• Conduct and participate in multidisciplinary research in memory IO and mixed signal architectures.
• Develop procedures, analysis, and designs for validation infrastructure.
• Analyze internal and external customer returns to improve yields and drive test escape closure.
• Apply independent evaluation to select components and equipment.
• Perform debug to identify root causes and resolve functional and triage failures for electrical issues.
• Test interactions between various electrical design features using validation infrastructure.
• Apply understanding of DFT and DFM to collaborate with architecture, design, and presilicon verification teams.
• Prepare validation specifications, evaluate IP, and generate test reports.
• Ensure products conform to standards and specifications.
• Bachelor’s or higher degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 4+ years of relevant working experience.
• Hands-on experience with memory architecture and protocols such as DDR5 and LPDDR5.
• Intermediate knowledge of MRC, JEDEC specifications, DRAM architecture, and Signal Integrity validation.
• Experience with Memory Controller design and DDR physical layer (DDR PHY) or DDRIO.
• Intermediate to Advanced English proficiency.
• Unrestricted, permanent right to work in Mexico.
