As a Principal Engineer in the Data Processing Unit team, you will validate silicon to solve complex datacenter problems by leading key components of functional validation for complex ASIC SOC using UVM/C test benches. You will collaborate with architecture, design, verification, and partner teams to define testing strategies, develop comprehensive test plans, and create C tests and infrastructure for functional validation. Your responsibilities include debugging failures, creating stress and performance scenarios, participating in chip bring-up, and writing test firmware to support various teams. Additionally, you will innovate to improve validation efficiency through methodologies and tools while coaching and mentoring others in your areas of expertise. This role requires extensive experience in pre-silicon validation with a focus on high-performance network switches/accelerators, CPUs, vector processors, and GPUs, along with proficiency in Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM-based testbenches, and knowledge of Ethernet, TCP/IP, ROCEv2, MAC/PCS, and networking NIC/Switches.
