Key Responsibilities
Execution & Design Ownership
- SoC Requirements Engineering: Contribute to and manage HW SoC-level requirement mapping, traceability matrices, and technical analysis.
- Hardware Design & Documentation: Develop and maintain Hardware Design Documentation (HDD), block diagrams, and system architecture specifications.
- Schematic & Layout Contribution: Contribute to the HW module design with schematic and layout inputs (including impedance profiles, stack-up constraints, and SI/PI mitigation strategies).
- Bring-Up & Validation: Lead the creation, optimization, and execution of the "Bring-Up and Validation Plan" for project samples. Execution of the validation plan and identifying findings.
- Debugging & Root-Cause Analysis (RCA): Lead systematic debugging approach and present RCA findings and workarounds to stakeholders.
- Hardware Automation & Efficiency: Develop Python scripts to automate bench measurements, parse register maps, control lab instruments.
