As a CPU Silicon Validation Engineer, you will join a team responsible for the functional validation of CPUs to identify logic design and circuit bugs. You will work closely with RTL and DV teams to understand design changes, engineer test content for new features, and develop software workloads to stress test the CPU within existing validation environments. Your daily responsibilities include creating validation test plans, maintaining random test generators by adding support for architectural and microarchitectural features, and spearheading silicon bring-up efforts on FPGAs and development boards. The role requires proficiency in C, C++, Python, or Perl, along with a deep understanding of CPU architecture, instruction sets, pipelines, caches, and memory subsystems. You will solve critical hardware problems by debugging functional silicon failures to ensure the successful delivery of high-performance chip designs.
