TL;DR · Silicon Validation Engineer
As a Silicon Validation Engineer, you will join the hardware team to design and create validation tests for post-silicon environments specifically targeting processor designs. Your daily responsibilities include collaborating with design and verification engineers to debug and root cause functional issues on silicon while working with the Verification Team to create random test templates and provide assembly code. You will develop processor debug tools, utilize pre-silicon simulators, and analyze waveforms to resolve hardware issues. The role requires proficiency in C/C++, Python, Shell scripting, and ARM assembly within Unix environments. You will also use source code management software and collaborate with architecture teams to define experiments for CPU silicon issues. This position focuses on the technical challenge of validating processor functionality and developing automated infrastructure for results collection and reporting during the post-silicon validation phase.
