Protocol Intelligence
Data-driven signals on your job's competitivenessStrong employer brand and metro location but highly specialized NAND validation skills limit broad applicant pool.
Highly domain-specific semiconductor validation skills and equipment experience make cross-industry transfer difficult.
Senior-level title plus specialized mixed-signal, silicon bring-up, and verification skills drive strict shortlisting.
Job Description
Structured overview of role & requirementsAbout This Role
Lead first-silicon bring-up, characterization, debug, and validation of advanced 3D NAND products to ensure silicon meets design intent and datasheet requirements.
Own validation strategies, coverage, and test plans for assigned NAND circuits and functions, including defining expected behavior and pass/fail criteria based on specifications.
Investigate silicon failures with cross-functional teams, driving root cause analysis and closure through hardware, firmware, test-flow, trim, or workaround solutions, and convert findings into product decisions and improved methodologies.
Minimum Requirements
BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical, Electronics, Computer Engineering, or a related field suitable for Senior Staff/Principal level roles.
Strong analog and mixed-signal fundamentals with substantial experience in at least one: mixed-signal verification, analog/mixed-signal IC design, post-silicon validation, or memory validation.
Experience with mixed-signal simulation environments (full-chip, block-level, pre/post-layout) and familiarity with Verilog/System-Verilog simulation and debug.
Experience with validation, characterization, data analysis, and scripting/automation using Python. Work Experience Required: Not explicitly mentioned in the JD.
Ideal Candidate Profile
Hands-on expertise across NAND Silicon Design Validation spanning multiple circuit types and mixed-signal systems, comfortable working closely with design, firmware, product, and system teams.
Ability to lead cross-functional technical investigations and leverage AI tools to improve validation efficiency or automate methodologies.
Experience with advanced memory technologies (NAND Flash, SSD, DRAM), silicon characterization platforms, and simulation-to-silicon correlation methods preferred but not mandatory.
