Senior Engineer (Silicon Validation)

Overview

Senior Engineer responsible for pre- and post-silicon functional validation of complex SoCs, MCUs and ASICs, including board bring-up, hardware debug and failure analysis on real silicon platforms.

What you'll do

• Perform pre- and 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, including root cause investigation 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 and 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.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams to resolve complex silicon and system-level issues.

What you'll need

• 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 and 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.
• B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, Computer Engineering or related field.
