Product Applications Engineer-Silicon Debug & Embedded Systems serves as a technical point of contact for customer success regarding Adaptive SoC and AI Edge devices. The role focuses on silicon debug, where the engineer identifies and resolves issues across processing subsystems, interconnects, memory, and boot paths during early design-in and production support. Responsibilities include performing register-level JTAG debugging, integrating components in Vivado and Vitis, and managing embedded Linux releases using Yocto-based flows. The candidate will develop RTL in SystemVerilog or Verilog, perform performance tuning, and author technical documentation like datasheets and tutorials. Key technologies include DDR5/6 memory controllers, OSPI, UFS, and Python for automation. This role addresses the complex hardware-software boundary by resolving failures across firmware, software, and silicon to ensure seamless customer integration of advanced processing platforms.
Resolve escalated customer issues by reproducing failures and driving them to a validated fix across hardware, firmware, and software teams.
Perform silicon debug at the register level using JTAG, boot stages, and timing reports to identify root causes.
Integrate and configure processing subsystems, memory controllers, and programmable logic using Vivado and Vitis tools.
Build and customize embedded Linux images using Yocto-based flows including device trees, kernel tuning, and custom recipes.
Author comprehensive customer-facing technical documentation such as product guides, datasheets, and tutorials.
Analyze and tune system performance by identifying bottlenecks across the hardware and software boundaries.
Develop RTL in SystemVerilog or Verilog to validate features and debug non-performing customer designs.
Utilize AI and machine learning tools to automate debugging workflows and analyze large test datasets.
What we're looking for
Experience in silicon debug, system architecture, and embedded systems design.
Ability to perform register-level JTAG debug, serial console analysis, and use logic analyzers or oscilloscopes.
Proficiency in building and customizing embedded Linux images using Yocto-based flows like PetaLinux.
Skills in SystemVerilog, Verilog, or VHDL for RTL development and hardware validation.
Experience with FPGA/SoC platforms, including Vivado or equivalent toolchains.
Knowledge of memory controllers (DDR5/6, LPDDR5/6), boot/storage blocks, and programmable logic.
Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded programming and Python, Tcl, or Shell for automation.
Experience with technical writing for customer-facing documentation and direct customer support (preferred); experience with AI tools in engineering workflows (preferred).
