TL;DR · Senior Silicon Engineer

Senior Silicon Engineer The Senior Silicon Engineer joins the Data Processing Unit team within the Cloud Hardware, and Infrastructure Engineering group. In this role, you will validate silicon to solve complex problems in a datacenter environment by developing a programmable silicon implementation. Your day-to-day responsibilities include owning verification of complex flows at the SOC, subsystem, or IP levels, developing verification environments, and running simulations to drive quality. You will apply random-stimulus and coverage-based techniques to find bugs and perform both pre-silicon verification and post-silicon validation. The role requires proficiency in Verilog, System Verilog, and UVM methodology. You will also utilize knowledge of Ethernet, TCP/IP, MAC/PCS, and networking blocks to support the development of a high-performance ASIC designed to handle large data streams.

What you'll do

  • Validate silicon to solve complex problems in a datacenter environment.
  • Own verification of complex flows at the SOC, subsystem, or IP levels using UVM/C.
  • Develop verification environments and run simulations to drive product quality.
  • Apply random-stimulus and coverage-based techniques to identify bugs and meet test plan goals.
  • Create stress and performance scenarios to validate system requirements.
  • Perform pre-silicon verification and post-silicon validation by defining testing strategies.
  • Interact with architecture and partner teams to define verification strategies and test plans.

What we're looking for

  • Doctorate in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field and 1+ year(s) technical engineering experience.
  • Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field and 4+ years technical engineering experience.
  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field and 5+ years technical engineering experience.
  • Equivalent experience to the degree and years of experience requirements.
  • Ability to meet Microsoft, customer, and/or government security screening requirements, including the Microsoft Cloud Background Check.
  • 5+ years of RTL Verification using UVM/C verification methodology (preferred).
  • Knowledge of Ethernet, TCP/IP, MAC/PCS, and Networking blocks (preferred).
  • Proven track record with verification and development of complex SoCs, including processors and peripheral interconnect bus protocols (preferred).
