Role Posting Log in to save

Software Engineer - SoC Level Validation Engineer joins the Silicon Technologies group to support the design and manufacture of high-performance, power-efficient processors and system-on-chip technology. The role involves developing and maintaining a system-level software platform to identify corner-case hardware bugs through bare metal system level software suites. Key responsibilities include developing SoC and CPU directed and random tests, debugging issues in both pre-silicon and post-silicon environments, and collaborating with designers and architects to achieve validation goals. Candidates should possess skills in C/C++ and Assembly, along with knowledge of micro-architecture, memory hierarchy, interrupts, DMA, clock and power gating, and SoC bringup. The work focuses on ensuring high-quality functional products by breaking silicon through complex algorithms and stress-testing hardware-software interfaces.
