Senior Engineer (Silicon Validation)

Position: Senior Engineer (Silicon Validation) Job Description:

Principal Accountabilities:

• Perform pre & post-silicon functional validation activities for complex SoCs, MCUs, and ASICs.

• Perform board bring-up covering power, reset, clock, straps, fuses, hardware initialization, and JTAG debug.

• Perform hardware debug and failure analysis by performing root cause investigations of boot failures, system hangs, data corruption, memory access issues, and intermittent hardware failures.

• Validate and debug interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, CAN/CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay, UART, I2C, and SPI.

• Perform Lab Validation & debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, bus sniffers, and JTAG.

• Validate SRAM/Flash and debug memory initialization, access, and data integrity issues.

• Read schematics and perform pin-level signal tracing to isolate hardware issues.

• Work with RTL/design, firmware, architecture, and system teams to identify root causes and drive issues to closure.

Job Complexity:

·       technical execution of silicon validation and hardware debug activities.

·       Perform silicon bring-up, validation, failure analysis, and debug methodologies.

·       Coordinate with cross-functional teams to resolve complex silicon and system-level issues.

Skills:

·       Strong hands-on expertise in silicon bring-up, board-level debugging, protocol validation, hardware failure analysis, and lab-based validation on real silicon platforms.

·       Strong experience with SoC, MCU, or ASIC bring-up and functional validation.

·       Hands-on experience with power, reset, clocking, straps, configuration errors.

·       Experience debugging PCIe, Ethernet, CAN/CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay, UART, I2C, or SPI interfaces.

·       Strong understanding of SRAM/Flash, register-level configuration, signal integrity, and hardware failure analysis.

·       Proficiency with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and other hardware debug equipment.

·       Ability to read schematics and perform pin-level signal tracing.

·       Strong root-cause analysis and problem-solving skills.
