What are the responsibilities and job description for the Hardware Engineer position at UANDWE, Inc.?
Job Responsibilities:
- Electrical validation of different IOs (PCIe, USB3, UFS, DP, HDMI, etc.) in different chips (GPU/SOC).
- Understanding test plan.
- Setting up the DUT for different test cases - execute those test cases - record observation for each test case clearly.
- Understand spec expectation and flag in case DUT fails to meet that expectation.
- First level triage of issues/failures (like analyze and confirm that it is an actual failure and not because of some issue in board or measurement setup or other) and subsequent data collection to root-cause the failures and find out a fix.
- Clarity on signal integrity concepts (e.g., insertion loss, reflections, cross talk, etc.).
- Clarity on signal quality parameters (e.g., eye diagram, jitter, frequency ppm, duty cycle, etc.) and how to measure those parameters.
- Familiarity of working in lab environment and have strong knowledge of using different equipment like DSO, Multimeter, Power supplies. (e.g., idea about ESD, minimum oscilloscope/probe BW required for measurement, etc.)
- Knowledge to understand board design from schematics (*.pdf file) and layout (*.brd file - using Cadence Allegro tool) (e.g., should be able to understand signal/power topology from schematics, should be able to locate test points in PCB for signal of interest, etc.)
- Knowledge to assemble a x86 motherboard (e.g., connect SMPS, DRAM cards, PCIe AIC, display, other peripherals, etc. to x86 motherboard).
- Knowledge of board/chip bring-up flow (e.g., idea on list of items to verify before/after attaching chip to board like verifying No-Stuff components, impedance of voltage rails, etc.)
- Proficiency in Windows & Linux OS and in Microsoft Office tools (e.g., In Linux – navigate folders, edit text files, move/copy files, SSH, execute scripts, etc.)
- Familiarity with scripting languages like Python/Perl (e.g., idea about installing different python modules, execute python scripts, etc.)
- Knowledge and hands-on experience on high speed SERDES IO (like PCIe, USB3, UFS, Ethernet, etc.) validation (e.g., eye measurement, JTOL testing, etc.).
- Knowledge and hands-on experience of using equipment like BERT (Bit Error Ratio Tester), PCIe/USB3/UFS Logic Analyzer, etc.
- Knowledge and hands-on experience on Silicon PVT characterization.
- Knowledge and hands-on experience on board bring-up and testing.
- B.E degree with Electrical/Electronic as major subjects.
- 2 – 10 years of experience.
