• Voltage level measurements
• Lane-to-lane skew analysis
• HS/LP transition timing verification
• Clock-to-data timing measurements
• Common-mode and differential voltage analysis
• Perform C-PHY three-wire signal measurements and eye-diagram validation.
• Debug electrical failures related to signal integrity, impedance, termination, reflections, noise, crosstalk, and power integrity.
• Analyze compliance test failures and determine root causes across PHY, PCB, package, firmware, test setup, and device configuration.
• Develop validation plans, characterization procedures, automation scripts, and test reports.
• Collaborate with silicon, hardware, firmware, display, camera, and system validation teams to drive issue resolution.
• Support board bring-up, silicon characterization, qualification testing, and production-related debug activities.
• Maintain detailed documentation of test setups, results, defect analysis, and corrective actions.

What You Will Bring

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• 5-10 years of experience in electrical validation, high-speed interface validation, signal integrity, or post-silicon characterization.
• Hands‑on experience with MIPI D-PHY and/or C-PHY electrical validation and compliance testing.
• Strong understanding of MIPI DSI/DSI-2, CSI-2, display, and camera interface technologies.
• Expertise in using high-bandwidth oscilloscopes such as Keysight UXR/URC series or equivalent platforms.
• Experience with active differential probes, probe amplifiers, interposers, test fixtures, and advanced high-speed measurement techniques.
• Strong knowledge of eye diagrams, jitter analysis, setup/hold timing, impedance, insertion loss, return loss, noise, and transmission line behavior.
• Ability to interpret schematics, PCB layouts, PHY specifications, and compliance requirements.
• Experience debugging hardware and PHY-level issues in pre-silicon or post-silicon environments.
• Proficiency in Python or similar scripting languages for test automation and data analysis.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills.
• Experience with MIPI compliance methodologies, CTS procedures, and validation tools.
• Familiarity with protocol analyzers, pattern generators, BER testers, MIPI exercisers, and validation platforms such as Introspect, Unigraf, or Keysight solutions.
• Knowledge of signal integrity simulation tools such as ADS, HFSS, HyperLynx, or Sigrity.
