- Familiarity with JEDEC specifications and DDR memory technology/standards.
- Experience developing and executing DRAM/memory stress tests for bandwidth, latency, data integrity, address-pattern, and retention coverage across memory controllers and channels.
- Working knowledge of PCIe, high-speed interfaces, and PC architecture.
- Experience in diagnostic, device-driver, firmware, or embedded software development in large-scale Linux environments.
- Experience driving production-ready test solutions across ATE platforms, wafer sort, and functional test with screening-pattern development.
- Experience designing and optimizing object-oriented software using modern C++ and Git/Gerrit.
Nice to have
- Experience with AI-powered coding assistants, agents, and analysis tools for code generation, software design, review, optimization, root-cause analysis, issue triage, and debug acceleration.
