Hardware Engineer

You will work with a cross functional design team of analog & digital designers and hardware engineers with a wide variety of backgrounds. Our R&D test lab contains state of the art, advanced test equipment required for high accuracy and high-speed test and debug.



 As part of the thorough validation within Synopsys product development:



1. System testing includes implementation and execution of rigorous verification test-benches to perform system level validation of products under development, and guarantee circuit performance and interoperability.

2. The function demands strong debugging skills, mastering problem-solving methodologies and IC design knowledge, for explaining circuits’ behavior and limitations.

3. Co-existent with operational responsibilities, the job includes operational and project components for sustaining the continuous improvement cycle towards excellence; it covers: (i) Test specifications, (ii) Test setup, (iii) Test execution, Data collection/consolidation/reporting, and (iv) Knowledge management.



Key Qualifications

• Electrical/Electronic Engineering degree
• Experience with IC design and/or FPGA development tools (e.g. Verilog HDL)
• Experience in operating test instruments and making precision measurements with oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, bit error rate testers (BERTs) and network analyzers.
• Experience with scripting and programming such as C/C++, Matlab, Python, Visual Basic, TCL, PERL
• Excellent organization and communication skills
• Self-motivation, problem solving and attention to detail are highly valued as you will need to understand design, silicon implementation, test board and software interactions
• Hands-on lab/debug experience with validating or verifying digital / analog blocks of a chip design
• Familiar with reading and troubleshooting board schematics and layouts
• Previous test experience with high-speed interfaces
• Experience with SERDES protocols is considered an asset.
