Success is demonstrated by earlier detection of design and firmware issues, increased automation and test coverage, predictable DVT execution, faster root-cause closure, improved correlation between engineering and production testing, reduced customer escapes, successful qualification of new 224G and next-generation platforms, and development of a technically strong and increasingly independent engineering team. Lead high-speed electrical validation including BER/PRBS testing, PAM4/6 link characterization, eye/jitter measurements, transmitter/receiver performance, margin testing, voltage/current/power measurements, thermal characterization, and voltage/temperature corner testing.
