Hsio Electrical Validaiton Engineer

AMD AMD · Semiconductors · Bangalore, India · Engineering

This role is for a Lead / Senior Systems Design Engineer focused on HSIO Electrical Validation & Characterization at AMD. The engineer will execute engineering projects, define and develop IO electrical validation requirements, conduct hands-on measurement and characterization of Post-Si IO electrical interfaces, plan and execute SI validation for next-generation interconnects, and debug Post-Si electrical issues. The role requires experience with hardware architecture, logic/circuit design, high-speed design concepts, and familiarity with programming/scripting languages.

What you'd actually do

  1. Define and develop IO electrical validation requirements and test coverages to ensure compliance and success at the platform level.
  2. Conduct hands-on measurement and characterization of Post-Si IO electrical interfaces using advanced lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, TDR, VNA, and more.
  3. Plan and execute SI validation for next-generation interconnects (DDR5, LPDDR5, USB4.0, PCIe Gen4/5 )
  4. Own and drive the debugging of Post-Si electrical issues, collaborating with hardware, BIOS, firmware, and OS teams to recommend effective solutions.
  5. Own the Compliance, Cert and EV for the respective interfaces
