The Silicon Validation Engineer joins the HW ArchDev Methodology team to develop validation strategies for next-generation GPUs and AI accelerators. This role involves designing system-level validation for complex architectures, including corner cases, PVT, large-scale behavior, and feature interactions. You will build AI-assisted and data-driven workflows to improve coverage and debug turnaround while deploying automation and telemetry pipelines that scale across products. The work focuses on silicon bring-up and root-cause debug using reusable methods to ensure high quality for upcoming chips. Key technical requirements include experience with ASIC validation, system-level debug, timing, signal integrity, power, and high-speed IO like PCIe. You must demonstrate proficiency in firmware and driver-hardware interaction while utilizing telemetry systems and AI/LLM-assisted development tools to solve complex problems within the silicon co-design lifecycle from architecture definition through production.
