Lead SoC validation with ARM exp

SMTS Silicon Validation Engineer

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated Silicon Validation Lead to drive end-to-end validation of next-generation ARM-based SoCs. This role requires strong hands-on expertise in silicon bring-up, high-speed peripheral validation, multimedia/video IP validation, and system-level debug. The candidate will lead a small team of engineers while owning the execution and delivery of silicon validation milestones from first silicon through production release.

Key Responsibilities

• Own overall silicon validation strategy, planning, execution, and signoff for assigned SoC programs.

• Lead a small team of validation engineers and provide technical mentorship.

• Develop validation plans, coverage models, regression strategies, and execution metrics.

• Drive silicon bring-up and feature validation for ARM-based SoCs.

• Validate high-speed interfaces including PCIe, Ethernet, USB, DDR, SerDes, and related subsystems.

• Validate multimedia and video IPs including display, video processing, imaging, and codec subsystems.

• Develop and execute validation tests using bare-metal and Linux environments.

• Debug complex issues spanning silicon, RTL, firmware, drivers, and operating systems.

• Collaborate closely with Architecture, Design, Verification, Software, Product Engineering, and Board teams.

• Drive production readiness, issue tracking, risk assessment, and validation signoff activities.

  Required Qualifications

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline.

• 10+ years of industry experience in silicon validation or SoC validation.

• Strong experience with ARM-based SoC architectures.

• Hands-on experience validating high-speed peripheral interfaces.

• Strong experience with video, display, multimedia, or imaging IP validation.

• Solid understanding of RTL architecture and digital design fundamentals.

• Experience developing and debugging embedded software in C.

• Strong Linux development and debug experience.

• Working knowledge of Vivado-based FPGA designs and prototyping environments.

• Experience in scripting and automation using Python, Shell, or similar languages.

• Strong hardware/software debug skills.
