FPGA Post Silicon Validation Engineer - Security

Job Description:

Key Responsibilities

• Develop comprehensive validation strategies for FPGA, security, aligned with device architecture, security requirements, and business objectives.
• Perform security feature validation, including secure boot, authentication, encryption, key management, root‐of‐trust, and protection against misconfiguration or unauthorized access.
• Create and execute test cases and vectors for configuration robustness, security corner cases, fault injection, and negative testing scenarios.
• Perform device and system bring‐up, debugging, security violations, boot hangs, issues across silicon revisions.
• Work with evaluation boards, reference platforms, and customer‐like systems to ensure interoperability and real‐world usage coverage.
• Drive innovation in validation methodologies, automation, and infrastructure, improving test coverage, scalability, and efficiency for future FPGA and SoC generations.
• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and board design teams on security‐ready evaluation platforms, influencing observability and debug capability.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 8+ years of hands‐on silicon validation experience, with strong focus on FPGA configuration, security, SoC, or embedded processor subsystems.
• Strong knowledge of hardware security concepts, such as secure boot, authentication, encryption, key storage, lifecycle states, and threat modeling.
• Hands‐on experience with system‐level validation and debug, including power‐on bring‐up, failure analysis, and silicon issue triage.
• Familiarity with FPGA and SoC architectures (strong advantage).
• Experience or familiarity with Python for automation, scripting, and test infrastructure; Verilog familiarity is a plus.
