THE ROLE

As an Everpure Hardware Engineer focused on DRAM, you will work with some of the best engineering teams and leaders in the industry. You will own the relationship with suppliers from the engineering side, work with other engineering leads on driving the best RAS capability for DRAM, own DRAM validation from a systems perspective for both new and existing products while continuously improving validation methodologies to ensure best-in-class quality and reliability.

In this role, you will stay current with the latest product roadmap, supplier relationships, industry trends, and latest validations tools. You will work with the latest x86 and ARM based CPUs, align with SW teams to drive the latest BIOS and microcode across products. This position works with all the HW teams at Everpure, so you will be the resident expert and go to person for all DRAM related items. This role is part of the HW team so it allows the engineer to delve into other System level validation and design opportunities.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Defining test plans and validation for DIMMs from a system perspective


• Performing hands‑on lab characterization of DIMM Modules and interfaces


• Running stress tests to characterize signal integrity


• Injecting errors to characterize correct behaviour


• Using oscilloscopes and logic analyzers as necessary for validation and debug


• Understanding and ability to debug serial and management busses as necessary


• Writing clear validation reports and communicating results to cross‑functional engineering teams, including hardware, software, and operations


• Though the position focuses on DRAM driving peripheral qualification efforts, other technologies on the motherboard maybe required including:
