Signal Test Engineer

As a Signal Test Engineer, you will be a core member of a specialized technology pillar (such as High/Low-Speed interfaces, Power Integrity, or Clocking) under our new domain-based specialization model. You will be responsible for executing rigorous hardware validation tests, generating high-quality test data, and collaborating directly with R&D teams to identify and debug hardware anomalies on networking switch, server, storage, and communication platforms.

Detailed Description

Performs tasks such as, but not limited to, the following:

• Test Execution: Complete assigned SI/PI test items strictly on time, adhering to the approved validation plan.
• R&D Collaboration & Debugging: Inform the R&D team immediately of any electrical or signal issues encountered during testing. Actively assist in debugging, failure analysis, and troubleshooting until resolution.
• Standardization Compliance: Strictly follow "Master Technical Templates" and standard operating procedures (SOPs) maintained by the Domain Champions to ensure test consistency.
• Reporting & Documentation: Draft initial pillar-specific test plans, capture highly accurate test data, and prepare complete test packages for project-level review.
• Process Optimization: Help examine and refine testing procedures to shorten testing times and broaden overall test coverage in the lab.
• Equipment Operations: Set up and operate measuring instruments (e.g., oscilloscopes, waveform generators, multimeters, and network analyzers) to conduct standard bus validation.
• Automation Utilization: Utilize existing scripting frameworks (e.g., Python/SCPI) to run automated test routines.

Knowledge/Skills/Competencies:

• Education: Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
• Experience: 0 to 3 years of experience in hardware board-level testing. (Fresh graduates with relevant internship or academic project experience are highly encouraged).
• Technical Knowledge (Preferred): Understanding of networking switch/server/storage structure concepts and hardware design fundamentals.
• Familiarity with Standards: Basic exposure to signal integrity theory and key bus standards (e.g., PCIe, DDR, USB, SATA, LAN, I2C/SPI).
• Instrument Competency: Good understanding of the principles and operations of basic measuring instruments (oscilloscopes and probes).
• Work Management: Ability to handle multiple testing tasks, work under tight project timelines, and maintain a strong team-player mindset.
• Scripting (Preferred): Basic knowledge of Python or other scripting languages for test automation is highly desirable.
