Full Description

The Role We are looking for a Post-Silicon Validation Engineer with 3+ years of experience to support the validation and bring-up of next-generation semiconductor products. You will develop and execute validation strategies and test plans, work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to debug silicon and system-level issues, and drive issues through root-cause analysis and resolution.

Key Responsibilities Develop and execute post-silicon validation strategies, test plans, and test procedures for new features and products. Support silicon bring-up, integration, and functional/stability validation across different product platforms. Develop and execute validation tests using appropriate hardware and software tools. Analyze test results, identify issues, and perform system-level debugging and root-cause analysis. Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to investigate and resolve validation issues. Track, document, and report validation progress, test results, and technical issues throughout the development cycle. Develop and improve validation methodologies, test processes, and debugging approaches to improve test efficiency and product quality.

Required Qualifications Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering or a related field. 3+ years of experience in post-silicon validation, power & performance validation, hardware validation, system validation, memory validation or a related field. Good understanding of digital hardware and computer system architecture. Experience developing and executing hardware/software-based validation tests. Strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills, with the ability to work across hardware and software boundaries. Familiarity with common validation and debug tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, or software-based validation tools is an advantage. Experience with scripting/programming such as Python, C/C++, or similar languages is an advantage. Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across multiple engineering teams.
