Engineer/Senior Engineer in Product Engineering, NAND Validation/Characterization

Job Summary:

We are looking for an Engineer/Senior Engineer in Product Engineering, NAND Validation/Characterization, specializing in functional and design validation/Characterization of advanced NAND products. Experienced in silicon and simulation‑based validation, electrical failure analysis, and cross‑functional issue closure. Strong focus on automation, data‑driven validation, and applied AI/ML techniques to improve test efficiency, coverage, and debug productivity.

Main Responsibilities:

• Designed and executed functional and design validation flows for advanced RG NAND devices using silicon and simulation platforms
• Developed deterministic usage‑case tests and random sequence generators to validate NAND commands and customer‑mode features
• Performed electrical failure analysis of issues seen, root‑cause investigations (including digital and analog circuitry), and drove issue resolution with cross-functional teams
• Characterization of NAND performance including timing and power parameters, with the latest NAND ONFI interface standards
• Conducted simulation studies using Verilog and Synopsys VCS to support debug and design verification
• Implemented automation frameworks using C‑based programming, Python, and Perl to improve test development and execution efficiency
• Applied AI/ML‑assisted techniques (data analytics, pattern recognition, anomaly detection) to:
• Accelerate failure triage and root‑cause analysis
• Identify validation coverage gaps
• Improve random sequence effectiveness and debug prioritization
• Utilized data‑driven methods and dashboards to track validation progress, defect trends, and release readiness
• For senior engineer, need to have at least 3–5 years of relevant professional working experience in a similar or related engineering role.
• Integrates AI-assisted tools and insights into daily work to improve efficiency, quality, or effectiveness, exercising sound judgment and complying with organizational standards and legal requirements.
• Contributes to a culture of continuous improvement by identifying, testing, and sharing AI-enabled enhancements within one’s scope of work.
