The Graphics System/Silicon Validation Engineer joins the Graphics Post-silicon team to support the commercialization of next-generation GPU chips. This role involves functional verification on system-level platforms, high-volume test screen solutions, and power and performance correlations. The engineer will debug low-level software and hardware issues, collaborate with production test and design teams, and provide solutions for functional failures. Key technical requirements include C/C++ programming, Perl/Python scripting for data analysis and test automation, and knowledge of ARM CPU architecture, AHB/AXI bus protocols, and GPU architecture. Candidates must also possess experience with VLSI design, mixed-signal IP validation, and lab equipment like logic analyzers and oscilloscopes. The work focuses on enabling high-performance, power-efficient GPUs for mobile and computing devices through rigorous silicon validation and chip bring-up.
