TL;DR · Senior Systems Design Engineer

The Senior Systems Design Engineer joins the Systems Design Engineering team to drive and improve the delivery of high-quality technologies. In this high-visibility role, the engineer will develop balanced, scalable, and automated solutions for product development, definition, and root cause resolution. Key responsibilities include driving technical innovation to improve validation capabilities through tool and script development, enhancing procedural methodologies, and debugging issues during the process, bring-up, validation, and production phases of SOC programs. The candidate must possess expertise in post-silicon validation, server or platform validation, and silicon bring-up. Required skills include knowledge of system architecture, debug techniques, and validation strategies for complex server or SoC products. Technical proficiency in C/C++, Perl, Ruby, and Python is necessary for automation and scripting tasks.

What you'll do

  • Develop tools and scripts to improve validation capabilities and technical methodologies.
  • Debug issues identified during the process, bring-up, validation, and production phases of SOC programs.
  • Track test execution to ensure all features are validated and optimized on schedule.
  • Drive continuous improvement of validation methodologies and procedural enhancements.
  • Develop validation strategies, coverage plans, and risk assessments for complex server or SoC products.
  • Perform board and platform-level debugging for modern server SOC architectures.
  • Implement automated solutions to support product development and root cause resolution.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in electrical or computer engineering.
  • Software systems engineering expertise for product development, definition, and root cause resolution.
  • Experience in post-silicon validation, server/system validation, platform validation, or silicon bring-up (preferred).
  • Experience developing validation strategies, coverage plans, test plans, risk assessments, and milestone exit criteria for complex server or SoC products (preferred).
  • Knowledge of system architecture, technical debug, and validation strategy (preferred).
  • Hands-on understanding of modern server SOC architecture (preferred).
  • Strong automation/scripting experience (preferred).
  • Programming/scripting skills in C/C++, Perl, Ruby, or Python (preferred).
