Electrical Validation Engineer, Amazon Devices

As a Electrical Validation Engineer, you will be part of Validation team that is exploring new hardware designs to improve our devices. In this role, you will create, define and develop electrical validation environment and test suites. You will also be responsible for the development of methodologies, execution of validation plans, debug of failures and follow up to closure.
Key job responsibilities
You will work closely with multi-disciplinary groups including Board Design, System Architects, IP developers, and Software Engineering, to verify and deliver complex, high volume SoCs that enable development of world-class hardware devices. In this role, you will:
• Perform electrical compliance test specifications / compliance test suite for various interfaces and conduct lab measurements
• Work on high-speed serial I/O interfaces like (LP)DDR4/5, USB, CSI/DSI, HDMI, PCIe interfaces etc.
• Perform documentation and communicate data across large number of tests and measurement results
• Drive initiatives to improve process, procedures, and quality of High Speed Characterization at SOC & Product level.
• Work on schematic and PCB physical design tools to interpret the design and locate physical probe points.
