- Utilize protocol analyzers, oscilloscopes, software tools, and test devices to investigate and resolve USB hardware and software issues.
- Define system-level requirements including board, software, retimer, and power delivery requirements based on USB interface specifications.
- Review internal and external USB technical specifications to develop feature requirements and validation methodologies for both pre-silicon (FPGA) and post-silicon environments.
- Collaborate with internal engineering teams and external vendors to enable features, investigate issues, identify root causes, and drive resolution of USB-related failures.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to support the design, development, testing, debugging, and implementation of technical solutions.
- Contribute effectively both independently and as part of multidisciplinary engineering teams.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:- Experience with system enablement and debug activities within industry, research, academic, or related technical environments.
- Experience capturing and analyzing high-speed protocol traces for USB4, USB3, DisplayPort, and associated technologies.
- Experience with scripting or automation using languages such as Perl, Ruby, Shell, Python, or similar technologies.
- Experience leveraging AI-assisted tools, intelligent automation, or agent-based workflows to support debugging, analysis, and engineering productivity.
- Experience with Xilinx FPGA development and debugging.
- Understanding of computer architecture and x86-based system architecture
- Knowledge of ACPI, GPIO, and clock management technologies.
- Experience reviewing, debugging, and modifying C/C++ firmware or embedded software.
- Ability to review circuit schematics and assist with board-level debugging and hardware modifications.
- Technical knowledge spanning hardware, system architecture, and software domains.
- Experience working effectively in collaborative, cross-functional engineering environments.
- Familiarity with Windows, UEFI, Linux, and Unix operating systems.
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:- Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
