The Product Engineering's SOC team is looking for a systems validation who is passionate about working on the leading-edge products, debugging and solving technical issues and delivering the best products in the market to the customer. You would be responsible for ensuring the testability and manufacturability of integrated circuits from the component feasibility stage through production ramp. This could include evaluation, development and debug of test methods. Creating and testing validation and production test hardware solutions. Analyzing and evaluating component specification versus performance to ensure optimal yield while delivering to test time and quality goals. Analyzing early customer returns with emphasis on driving test hole closure activities. Creating innovative solutions to optimize quality and cost constraints.

In this role you will support client PCH Systems team in Folsom which requires collaborating worldwide with cross-functional teams including design, validation, software, high volume manufacturing (HVM) and fabs . Systems team is responsible for platform enabling, partnering with content, BIOS, Automation teams to develop improved test methodologies and manufacturing test solutions. Your team will also drive execution of validation plans, debug of failures, and its deployment to high volume factories. You will be part of a team supporting electrical validation of Intel's cutting-edge HSIOs such as PCIe, TBT, USB3.X, BT/WIFI, USF etc.
