Principal Product Technical Leader — AEC/SCM at Astera Labs | LAYIQ

Product integration and validation
Define product-level interfaces, integration plans, risks, validation checkpoints, and readiness criteria from design through production release.
Influence architecture and design decisions early, finding creative, practical solutions to tradeoffs across signal integrity, retimer and firmware integration, power, thermal performance, mechanical constraints, manufacturability, cost, and schedule.
Lead product-level electrical compliance and system validation for AEC/SCM products, including channel performance, eye margins, jitter, equalization, link training, BER, interoperability, and resolution of system-level issues.
Direct and review AEC/SCM hardware validation, including board-level probing, circuit verification, functional testing under nominal, corner, mechanical, and environmental conditions, and reliability/failure analysis; ensure results are correlated to design requirements and corrective actions are driven to closure.
Drive root-cause analysis for issues spanning silicon, firmware, hardware, SI, mechanical, thermal, test, and manufacturing teams.
Production readiness and technical execution
Partner with NPI, manufacturing, quality, and operations teams to transition products from development into volume production.
Drive DFM/DFA/DFT reviews, production-test development, test-coverage improvements, yield analysis, and manufacturability feedback.
Own technical investigations and corrective actions for complex failures, process excursions, production escapes, and field issues.
Establish clear product specifications, issue-tracking practices, technical reports, and readiness reviews.
Customer and cross-functional leadership
Provide technical direction during customer bring-up, interoperability testing, platform qualification, and escalations.
Collaborate with applications and customer engineering teams to resolve design-in challenges and translate field feedback into product improvements.
Lead cross-functional design and integration reviews across hardware, firmware, SI, mechanical, test, manufacturing, and quality.
Mentor engineers and improve documentation, debug workflows, integration methods, and engineering standards.
