The SoC Infrastructure/NoC, Power & Performance Validation Engineer joins the Global SoC digital hardware organization to ensure silicon quality through pre-silicon emulation and post-silicon validation. This role involves developing content to validate and analyze SoC bus architecture, performance, and power while managing trade-offs between performance and power. The engineer will perform bandwidth, QoS, latency, and throughput analysis for interconnect architectures like NoCs, AXI, and AHB. Key responsibilities include validating system low power modes, dynamic clock and voltage scaling, interrupt architecture, and memory hierarchy consistency. Candidates must possess expertise in C, C++, Python, and assembly to develop drivers and test content while debugging low-level software and hardware issues using JTAG and kernel debuggers. The role requires deep knowledge of CPU, DDR, and GPU concepts alongside experience leveraging Generative AI technologies for workflow optimization.
