Product Quality Engineer (NCG)

Understanding of high-speed serial interfaces (PCIe, Ethernet, SERDES)

Familiarity with lab instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, BERT, TDR, or spectrum analyzers

Exposure to signal integrity concepts and high-speed measurement techniques

Experience with database tools or scripting languages (Python, SQL) for data analysis and infrastructure development

Familiarity with failure analysis methodologies in a semiconductor environment

Knowledge of PCIe or Ethernet protocol specifications

Astera Labs is seeking a Quality Engineer to join our Product Quality Engineering team in San Jose, CA.

This is an exciting opportunity for an early-career engineer to dive into the heart of AI infrastructure connectivity, working hands-on with cutting-edge semiconductor devices that power the world's most advanced data centers.

In this role, you will be instrumental in driving root-cause analysis of failures across circuit, package, firmware, and protocol layers — directly impacting the reliability and quality of our PCIe and Ethernet connectivity solutions.

You'll work with state-of-the-art lab instrumentation, build infrastructure to accelerate failure analysis, and collaborate across engineering disciplines to ensure Astera Labs continues to deliver best-in-class silicon to hyperscale customers.

If you're passionate about high-speed SERDES, signal integrity, and solving complex hardware problems at the intersection of AI and connectivity, this is the role for you.
