• System modeling
• Post-silicon validation
• Strong programming skills (C / SystemC / Matlab / Python)
• DDR training algorithms

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain PHY architectural models, preferably in SystemC (other modeling languages acceptable).
• Implement and validate PHY calibration, adaptation, and DDR training algorithms.
• Perform firmware development and post-silicon bring-up activities.
• Run system simulations and correlate simulation results with silicon behavior.
• Conduct scripting, data collection, and detailed data analysis.
• Debug complex PHY-related issues across firmware and silicon environments.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure design and validation alignment.

Required Qualifications

• Strong hands-on firmware programming experience.
• Experience in system modeling (SystemC preferred).
• Proven experience with post-silicon validation and bring-up.
• Strong coding skills in:
• C
• SystemC
• Matlab
• Python
• System Verilog (preferred)
• Experience with DDR and/or SerDes PHY architectures.
• Ability to implement and debug PHY calibration and training algorithms.
• Strong analytical and debugging skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) concepts.
• Experience with system simulations and silicon correlation.
• Strong scripting capabilities for automation and data analysis.
