The Silicon computing development team is seeking a Senior SoC HW (PnP/Functional) Validation Engineer to join the post-silicon validation (including functional, electrical, and power/performance aspects) team for our projects. We are responsible for delivering cutting-edge, custom SoC designs that can perform complex and high-performance functions in the most efficient manner. As a technical individual contributor in this high impact role on the team, you will: Own project post-silicon validation direction including functional, electrical/analog and power & performance. Define, guide, and contribute to the planning and implementation of silicon debug tools and capabilities. Coordinate across multiple organization on program deliverables, requirements, and execution. Provide technical guidance, coaching, and mentorship to other engineers in your areas of expertise. Develop validation strategy, requirements, environments, tools, and methodologies including debug board and hardware/software requirements. Apply your knowledge of validation principles and techniques and your judgement to deliver test plans, including test content, scripts, tools and other validation collateral. Execute content in post-silicon, triage and debug failures. Apply your growth mindset to learn and adapt in a complex and dynamic environment. Engage with partners to drive continuous improvement to the design, to validation plans/collateral, and methodology to prevent, reduce, and/or find bugs sooner, more easily, or more reliably. Delight your customers by providing high quality results on schedule. Provide technical leadership with respect and integrity. Apply your experience towards pre-silicon verification plans, tests, and debug of your area. Doctorate in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 1+ year(s) technical engineering experience OR Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 4+ years technical engineering experience OR Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 5+ years technical engineering experience OR equivalent experience. This role will require access to information that is controlled for export under export control regulations, potentially under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations or Export Administration Regulations, the EU Dual Use Regulation, and/or other export control regulations. As a condition of employment, the successful candidate will be required to provide either proof of their country of citizenship or proof of their US. residency or other protected status (e.g., under 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)) for assessment of eligibility to access the export-controlled information. To meet this legal requirement, and as a condition of employment, the successful candidate's citizenship will be verified with a valid passport. Lawful permanent residents, refugees, and asylees may verify status using other documents, where applicable. Understanding of SoC system level and platform level functionality, defining silicon validation requirements, writing scripts/software with industry standard languages like Python or C/C++. Effective communication, collaboration and teamwork skills and ability to lead, grow, and contribute to diverse and inclusive teams. Verification, logic development, analog validation, or validation tools experience as part of a CPU, SoC and/or IP development team Leadership skills Validation of: Power validation and Performance testing plus tuning. Automation, Content Creation, or Tools/Scripts Development Ability to develop synthetic SoC validation Core, Coherency, Memory, and IO content to run on both bare metal and OS environments. Ability to develop sophisticated tools/scripts to support SoC validation debug activities such as maximum power, current transients, and register dumps. Understanding of board level schematics. Understanding system level software and firmware. Experience running silicon content on pre-silicon platforms such as emulation or FPGA. Demonstrated success in hardware/software debug efforts.
