Post Silicon Validation -Sr/Lead/Staff Engineer

Role overview

Primary responsibilities

• Develop multimedia and imaging core suites and related drivers for bring-up, functional, performance, power, debug, and manufacturing tests.
• Gather bring-up requirements, participate in design reviews, estimate scope and schedules, and develop low-level or bare-metal C/C++ code.
• Bring up hardware platforms and debug hardware and software issues.
• Work with system architects, designers, verification, firmware, and software engineers.

Minimum qualifications

• A bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or a related field plus relevant engineering experience is required, with advanced-degree alternatives described in the posting.
• The posting also specifies 6+ years of systems, debug, integration, or related engineering experience.
• The posting specifies 6+ years with C, C++, Python, Java, shell scripting, version-control tools, and RTOS.
• The posting specifies 6+ years using in-circuit emulation and debug tools.
• Experience with multimedia, peripheral, ARM core, or other IP validation is required.

Technical qualifications

• Experience with embedded software, drivers, low-level hardware interfaces, device testing, scripting, automation, and test-plan development.
• ARM-based SoC, emulation debug, board bring-up, and low-level hardware and software issue debugging experience is desired.
• MIPI-based high-speed interface validation, signal integrity, and camera or video imaging experience is desired.
• Digital IC design, digital IC architecture, and ASIC lifecycle development experience is desired.
• Machine learning, TensorFlow, PyTorch, deep learning, and neural-network experience is listed as additional experience.

Debug and laboratory skills

• Laboratory experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other standard test equipment is desired.
• JTAG debugging, Lauterbach Trace32, scripting, low-power design, performance, and thermal-process knowledge are listed.
• Verilog/SystemVerilog, FPGA design, DFT/DFD, ATE/ATPG, and RMA knowledge are listed as additional or advantageous experience.

Validation activities

• Perform device-level and system-level verification, validation, and debug in emulation and post-silicon environments.
• Develop device tests, scripts, automation, and validation test plans.
• Validate high-speed interfaces, signal integrity, multimedia, imaging, and peripheral IP.
• Support low-power, performance, thermal, and manufacturing validation activities.
