FPGA Silicon Validation Engineer

Job Details: Job Description: Own high-speed I/O validation, including defining and executing validation strategies across multiple programs. Develop, standardize, and maintain validation methodologies, test setups, and measurement flows to enable scalable and repeatable execution. Perform post‑silicon functional and electrical validation using state‑of‑the‑art lab equipment, including high‑bandwidth oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, pattern generators, and logic analyzers. Collaborate with hardware board design teams on high‑speed channel implementation, including stack‑ups, routing strategies, and I/O termination topologies; review schematics, layouts, and board design guidelines. Collaborate with firmware team to develop and optimize calibration and test algorithms for high-speed interfaces (DDR, LPDDR, MIPI, etc.), and validate firmware-driven calibration flows. Partner with silicon design, package, board, and software teams to drive debug, root‑cause analysis, and issue resolution. Focus primarily on high-speed analog I/O and PHY design including transmitters, receivers and voltage regulators for advanced DDR, LPDDR and MIPI interfaces as well as LVDS and GPIO designs. Qualifications: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline. Industry experience in post‑silicon validation, silicon bring‑up, or PHY design and development roles. Strong hands‑on experience validating high‑speed interfaces and PHYs such as DDR/LPDDR, MIPI and GPIO. Deep understanding of high‑speed signal integrity, power integrity, timing, and analog/mixed‑signal behaviors. Proven expertise using advanced lab equipment, including high‑bandwidth oscilloscopes, BERTs, protocol analyzers, logic analyzers, and pattern generators. Strong background in post‑silicon debug, root‑cause analysis, and driving issues to resolution across silicon, package, board, and software domains. Proficiency in scripting or programming (e.g., Python, Perl, TCL, C/C++) for validation automation and data analysis.
