TL;DR · Senior Post-Silicon Validation Engineer

The Senior Post-Silicon Validation Engineer joins the Chandler Post-Silicon Validation team to validate and characterize Arm SoC processors. In this role, you will develop and enable system-level stress workloads on Linux and Bare-Metal software environments while collaborating with colleagues to leverage test content for silicon characterization at the system level. You will be responsible for developing test plans, implementing tests, and debugging complex system issues and bugs. The position requires proficiency in C/C++, ARM assembly, Python, and various scripting languages. Candidates must possess a solid understanding of silicon process technology regarding power and performance, along with experience using scopes, logic-analyzers, and debuggers. Technical expertise may include PCIe, CLX, UCIe, and DDR interfaces. This role focuses on the technical challenge of testing and characterizing sophisticated next-generation processors to ensure reliable system-level performance.

What you'll do

  • Develop and enable system-level stress workloads on Linux and Bare-Metal software environments.
  • Create test plans to characterize silicon at the system level.
  • Implement tests for characterizing next-generation Arm SoC processors.
  • Debug and resolve complex system issues and hardware bugs.
  • Use scopes, logic analyzers, and debuggers to root-cause silicon issues.
  • Characterize silicon performance and power based on process technology.
  • Perform validation for PCIe, CLX, UCIe, and DDR interfaces.

What we're looking for

  • Experience in pre-silicon and post-silicon validation.
  • Software engineering skills including C/C++, ARM assembly, Python, and scripting languages.
  • Solid understanding of silicon process technology regarding power and performance.
  • Proficiency in debugging system and silicon issues using scopes, logic analyzers, and debuggers.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience, or a Master's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering.
  • Commanding knowledge with process, voltage, and temperature validation (preferred).
  • Experience with PCIe, CLX, UCIe, and DDR interfaces (preferred).
  • Understanding of system level test and correlation with manufacture test (preferred).
