As a SerDes Verification Engineer , you will be responsible for the verification and validation of high-speed SerDes interfaces, including testing signal integrity, performance, and protocol compliance. You will work closely with hardware and design teams to ensure that SerDes designs meet the required specifications, operating parameters, and quality standards.

Key Responsibilities :

• Verification of SerDes Designs : Develop and execute verification plans and testbenches for SerDes IPs (Intellectual Property) and subsystems to ensure they meet functional and performance requirements.
• Testbench Development : Design and implement verification testbenches using industry-standard verification methodologies (e.g., UVM, SystemVerilog, VHDL).
• Simulation and Debugging : Perform simulations, analyze results, and debug issues related to timing, protocol errors, and other design anomalies in SerDes blocks.
• Performance Evaluation : Evaluate and validate performance characteristics of SerDes systems including jitter, bit error rates (BER), signal integrity, eye diagrams, and other key metrics.
• Protocol Compliance Testing : Verify adherence to relevant SerDes protocols such as UCIe , PCIe, Ethernet, USB, DDR, DisplayPort, or custom protocols.
• Automated Testing : Develop automated regression tests to ensure the robustness and stability of the SerDes design over multiple versions and iterations.
• Collaboration : Work closely with the design, hardware, and software teams to troubleshoot issues, implement fixes, and verify design changes.
• Documentation : Create detailed reports and documentation on verification results, test scenarios, and issues found during testing.
• Continuous Improvement : Provide feedback for design and verification process improvements and contribute to innovation in verification strategies and methodologies.
• Experience :
• 5+ years of experience in SerDes verification or high-speed communication verification.
• Strong hands-on experience with verification methodologies such as UVM, SystemVerilog, or other simulation-based verification tools.
• Knowledge of high-speed serial protocols such as UCIe , PCIe, Ethernet, USB, DDR, or custom protocols.
• Experience in analyzing and interpreting signal integrity issues, jitter, BER, and eye diagrams.
• Skills :
• Solid understanding of SerDes architectures, link training, and equalization.
• Strong debugging skills, with the ability to work across multiple domains (timing, protocol, performance).
• Familiarity with hardware description languages (HDL) like VHDL or Verilog.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Experience with DDR protocol (e.g., DDR3, DDR4, DDR5) for memory interface verification.
• Understanding of UCIe protocol and its role in chiplet-to-chiplet communication.
