Senior Product Engineering - System Level Test/Characterization

The Microsoft Silicon team is transforming the ways people communicate, create, and collaborate through the devices and components we develop. We are a growing team of engineers on a mission to develop revolutionary designs and ship first-to-market products. Azure, XBOX, Surface, and HoloLens incorporate our internally developed silicon components.
Our team is creative and resourceful; we value growth and learning.
We want to amplify your abilities so you can do your best work.
Join us, and together we will turn groundbreaking hardware designs into reality!ResponsibilitiesThe position will have responsibility for product engineering, with a focus on:

• Developing system level test (SLT) platform, strategy, requirements, tools, methodologies across hardware and software.
• Collaborating with team members and partner teams to develop and integrate hardware, firmware, content, automation solution for SLT platform.
• Product characterization and correlation for power/performance from system to ATE.
• Generate and leverage correlation, characterization, and performance data to optimize outgoing quality and power/performance.
• Define, guide, and contribute to the development of the software automation infrastructure for SLT and system to tester correlation activities.
• Management of multiple development activities across a variety of product groups.
• System level failure triage and debug across silicon, hardware, software.

Qualifications

• A bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related degree.
• 7+ years of experience with system level test in validation and/or manufacturing test environments in terms of architecture/design, execution, data collection, analysis, correlations, and application selection/specification.
• 5+ years of experience in developing ICs (pre-silicon, first silicon bring-up, new product introduction).
• Experience with system level test for products in any of the following categories: CPUs, GPUs, high performance compute.
• Proficient at writing software and scripts with industry standard languages such as Python, C/C++.

Preferred Qualifications

• Exceptional knowledge of system level test architecture, infrastructure (i.e., hardware and software) requirements, test case development flows, test case generation and selection.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and teamwork skills.
• Adaptability (responds, explores, constructive attitude)
• Growth Mindset (It starts with a belief that everyone can grow and develop)
• Understanding of product manufacturing and test processes.
• Experience with:
  • End-to-end silicon engineering taking products from pre-silicon readiness to first silicon bring up and production
  • System level test cases (SLT) definition/generation/selection/execution and data analysis
  • System characterization test case definition/generation/selection/execution and data analysis
  • Thermal control and feedback
  • Thermal management of higher power devices
  • Debug tools such as oscilloscope, DMM, SMU, VNA
  • Performance (i.e., power management features, mode optimization, voltage margining/checking) applications on SLT
  • Datacenters, CPUs, AI, machine learning, digital neural networks would be an asset.
  • Data collection/analysis and debugging system failures
  • Scripting and automation
• Customer Focus (anticipates needs and proactively meets expectations)
• Drive for results (actively pursues outcome, delivers on commitments)
• Influence for impact (communicates, networks, persuades, influences)
• Judgement (scope problem, builds & applies knowledge)
