Silicon Validation Engineer

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field.

• 5+ years Hardware Engineering experience or related work experience.

Responsibilities:

• You will be part of - Silicon Validation team, particularly in the bring up of SVE convex infra, IST framework for the enablement of VI content in production.

• You will be working with IP validation teams and Systems validation Lead/system content engineer for bringup the framework.

• Own SoC frequent regression and execute end-to-end regression suite by considering SoC design corner cases wrt power and performance. Executing these releases on bench in lab and supporting the DFT,SLT teams in Debug and enabling different features in the framework.

• Work with a relevant team members for regular reporting of issues and failure debugs.

• Understand the IP architecture, work with IP validation teams and Systems validation Lead/system content engineer to understand the validation requirements, develop/port/enhance the validation software content and bring up.

• Use silicon debug hooks to measure power/performance/coverage and other KPI metrics

Mandatory Skills:

• Basics of processor architecture, Multicore/Multiprocessor with SMP/MTE/heterogenous cores.

• C language expertise for low level programming, Assembly language for any processor, C-assembly interworking

• Operating systems/RTOS/Linux kernel internals, scheduling policies, locking mechanism, MMU/paging etc

• Exposure to working on emulation/pre-si environment is added advantage

• Using JTAG based debuggers, compilers/linkers

• Should have good exposure to software development life cycle

Desired Skills

• Exposure to SoC architecture paradigms – interconnects, power management,

• Software development for silicon enablement, silicon validation

• Bring-up of hardware-software solution on FPGA/emulation platforms and on fresh SOC designs
