The Microprocessor Silicon Validation and Optimization Engineer-Staff joins the ASICS Engineering group to serve as a technical lead for pre-silicon and post-silicon validation and enablement of microprocessors on SoC. This role involves test development, pre-silicon verification, presilicon emulation, silicon bring-up, silicon system detailed characterization, customer debug support, and optimization. The engineer must possess a thorough knowledge of microprocessor and cache-memory architecture and microarchitecture. Key responsibilities include developing software and algorithms for functional validation, detailed debug, and silicon characterization. Candidates must be fluent in C/C++ and familiar with assembly languages like ARM, DSP, and i32. The work focuses on solving technical problems for microprocessors powering mobile phones, mobile compute, AI engines, and servers by mapping silicon scenarios to design verification environments for root cause debug.
