As a PST Validation Engineer within the ASICS Engineering team, you will focus on post-silicon validation and emulation for high-performance, low-power products. Your daily responsibilities include performing silicon bring-up, measuring Vmin/Fmax, power, and thermal data across various PVTs to characterize SoC IPs at the system level. You will debug low-level hardware and software issues using JTAG and kernel debuggers like Lauterbach Trace32 while managing emulation builds to identify performance failures in collaboration with CAD, RTL, and Design teams. The role requires proficiency in C and Python for automating validation flows and data collection. Essential skills include an understanding of mobile chip architecture, including CPU, GPU, DDR, and NOCs, along with experience in designing test bench infrastructure for SoC emulation across different platforms to solve complex integration challenges.
