Establish automated data collection, analysis, reporting, and trend monitoring to improve repeatability, test coverage, execution time, and engineering decision-making.
Lead complex system-level debugging involving hardware, retimers/redrivers, signal integrity, power integrity, firmware, CMIS, thermal behavior, cable assemblies, host systems, and customer platforms.
Ensure failures are documented, reproduced, root-caused, corrected, and revalidated; drive disciplined issue closure rather than pass-by-retest behavior.
Partner with Hardware, SI, PI, Firmware, Regression/Interoperability, Mechanical/Thermal, Manufacturing, Product Engineering, and customer-facing teams throughout product development.
Support customer issue reproduction, technical reviews, qualification activities, and clear communication of validation status, technical risks, and unresolved issues.
Maintain laboratory capability, equipment planning, test methodology, documentation, and engineering standards needed to support multiple concurrent development programs.
What your background should look like
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or closely related engineering discipline.
10+ years, or 6+ years with a Masters Degree, of relevant engineering experience in high-speed digital hardware, validation, test engineering, or related product development, with demonstrated technical or people leadership.
Strong understanding of high-speed SerDes systems, PAM4 signaling, BER/PRBS testing, eye diagrams, jitter, signal integrity, and link-margin concepts.
Hands-on experience with high-speed test equipment such as BERTs, high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, VNAs, and automated electrical measurement systems.
Experience developing structured validation plans, engineering test procedures, requirements traceability, and objective release criteria.
Strong troubleshooting and root-cause-analysis skills across hardware, firmware, and system-level interfaces.
Experience with automated laboratory testing and scripting, preferably Python.
Ability to interpret schematics, PCB designs, electrical specifications, test data, and engineering requirements.
Strong cross-functional leadership, written communication, and ability to communicate complex technical issues to engineering teams and management.
Preferred Qualifications
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline and/or previous engineering management experience.
Experience developing or validating 112G/224G PAM4 products, OSFP/QSFP-DD modules, AEC/ACC, optical modules, high-speed NICs/switches, or retimer-based systems.
Experience with high-speed SerDes/retimer technologies and familiarity with CMIS, IEEE 802.3 Ethernet requirements, OSFP MSA requirements, and module-management interfaces.
Experience with automated BERT systems, hardware-in-the-loop testing, CI/CD regression, interoperability testing, environmental/thermal qualification, EMI/EMC, ESD, and reliability testing.
Experience supporting manufacturing test development, high-volume production, customer qualification, and field issue resolution.
Leadership Expectations & Measures of Success
The manager is accountable for the technical effectiveness of the Test & Validation organization, not simply laboratory execution. Success is demonstrated by earlier detection of design and firmware issues, increased automation and test coverage, predictable DVT execution, faster root-cause closure, improved correlation between engineering and production testing, reduced customer escapes, successful qualification of new 224G and next-generation platforms, and development of a technically strong and increasingly independent engineering team.
