Validation/Verification Engineering, Sr Engineer

Feb 2024 – Present · 2 yrs 4 mos · Hillsboro, Oregon, United States · On-site

1. Conducted comprehensive lab-based characterization of Synopsys PCIe SerDes IP, analyzing transmitter and receiver architectures using high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, BERTs, and network analyzers to ensure compliance with PCI-SIG standards.
2. Validated PCIe receiver block performance across Generations 1 through 6, starting with Keysight BERT impairments calibration via Valiframe, followed by jitter tolerance testing across process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) corners.
3. Provided support in debugging of key receiver circuit blocks, including the AFE and CDR, by analyzing adaptation parameters and BER performance to ensure alignment with design specifications and system-level goals.
4. Leverage AI tools such as Github Copilot to architect data analysis tools and optimize workflows by automating test procedures and sequences using MATLAB and Python, thereby enhancing testing efficiency.
5. Validated hardware test boards and software packages, collaborated with design teams to provide effective debugging support, and enabled customers to resolve issues and achieve seamless system integration.

Macom

RFIC Design Intern

Jun 2023 – Aug 2023 · 2 mos · Lowell, Massachusetts, United States · On-site

1. Worked on designing a 'High Dynamic-Range Balanced Base Station Low-Noise Amplifier' for the frequency band 1.7 - 2.6GHz using KeySight ADS.
2. Utilized a GaAs-based cascode amplifier with a current-mirror bias along with input & output matching networks for the amplification stage of the Balanced Amplifier.
3. Integrated the pair of amplifiers with input & output couplers and simulated the system to meet the customer's design specifications: Gain = 21.5dB, Return Loss < -18dB, Reverse Isolation < -35dB, NF < 1dB, Gain Flatness < 1dB across band, P1dBout > 24dBm, OIP3 =45 dBm with 1 - 50MHz tone spacing for Pin < -15 dBm. The supply voltage provided was 5V, and the bias current requirement was < 200 mA.
4. Simulated the Balanced Amplifier over PVT and optimized the system performance by tuning the matching networks to meet the design requirements.
5. Performed die floor planning as an initial layout step using Layout Editor on ADS. Integrated the amplifier & output coupler dice with a 4x4 mm 16L package.
6. Presented the work done to Engineers from the MMIC Team at MACOM during the Preliminary Design Review (PDR).
7. Completed the required action items post PDR, which involved adding ESD protection circuitry & a shutdown function to the balanced amplifier.
