Senior Silicon Validation Engineer

* Lead the development of key debug tools and infrastructure for validating complex SoCs. Define, develop, and deploy tools and methodologies for high-volume test execution and efficient silicon debugging. Build and maintain robust infrastructure for pre-silicon SoC verification and post-silicon and FPGA validation. Collaborate with architecture, design, verification, and partner teams to execute projects and define validation tools and methodologies for next-generation designs. Lead silicon power-up using debug tools to diagnose failures and create stress and performance scenarios that meet test plan goals. Participate actively in chip bring-up and develop test firmware to support multiple teams. Coach and mentor others in your areas of expertise. * 10+ years of related technical engineering experience OR Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 7+ years technical engineering experience or internship experience OR Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 6+ years technical engineering experience or internship experience OR Doctorate degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field. 7+ years of experience in pre-silicon and post-silicon validation with a proven track record of delivering high performance Central Processing Unit (CPU), Vector processors and Graphics Processing Unit (GPU's) or relevant experience. Experience using scan- and JTAG-based methods, debug tools, and embedded processor debuggers. Strong understanding of JTAG-based topologies and experience developing JTAG software tools. Strong software development skills in C/C++, Python, with knowledge of advanced computer architecture, boot flows, FTDI, and OpenOCD. Experience developing and driving tools and automated workflows for pre- and post-silicon validation. Hands-on validation experience across multiple product cycles, from definition through silicon, including test planning, test development, and failure debugging. Experience with high-speed I/O and industry-standard bus, parallel, and serial protocols, including Ethernet, PCIe, JTAG, AXI, AHB, and I2C. Strong communication, teamwork, self-direction, and problem-solving skills. 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.
