Ownership of verification strategy for a full silicon/system program

Deep expertise in 56G/112G/224G+ serial links, SerDes equalization (CTLE/FFE/DFE), and signal integrity (S-parameters, crosstalk, link budgets)

Hands-on lab experience leading investigations that stalled others

Strong Python/MATLAB for team-used automation frameworks

Proficiency with VNA, scopes, BERTs, TDRs, and tools like ADS, HFSS, Cadence, COMSOL

Run hands-on lab characterization and debug of high-speed electrical/optical hardware, including novel failure modes

Build system-level electrical/optical/EO channel models and correlate them against your own bench measurements

Own link budget and verification methodology while staying hands-on with the validating measurements

Characterize eye diagrams, BER, jitter, equalization, and channel impairments

Support silicon bring-up and root-cause debug with analog, package, PCB, and SerDes teams

Influence chip/package/system architecture tradeoffs based on bench findings
