About Job
Responsibilities
● Own electrical and system verification for assigned subsystems: develop high-level test
plans, define test priorities and coverage, and set entry/exit criteria per build (Proto, EVT, DVT, PVT, MP).
● Take operational and technical ownership of verification activities at CM and vendor labs
ensure adherence to measurement techniques, setup integrity, and quality of documentation.
● Execute and oversee bring-up, characterization, and debug of prototype hardware across power, signal integrity, memory/storage, sensors, thermal, and system coexistence domains.
● Drive failures to root cause and classify them as product, test, environment, config, or
handling issues; file high-quality bugs with repro steps, build/config IDs, artifacts, and gate impact.
● Capture complete metadata for every test run (unit SNs, OS build, FW version, tool build, chamber ID, ambient conditions) and maintain traceability to requirements.
● Serve as the communication bridge between engineers in the US and verification teams in-region; represent verification status in daily triage, bug syncs, and build readiness reviews.
● Partner with EE design, FW, thermal, mechanical, and TPM counterparts to close verification gaps and influence design for testability.
● Improve verification capability over time — test procedures, reporting, and automation of
repetitive measurements.
● Mentor junior and contingent worker verification engineers in region.
● Domestic and regional travel as needed (up to ~30%).
