TL;DR · Staff Post-Silicon Validation Engineer

As a Staff Post-Silicon Validation Engineer, you will join the Chandler Post-Silicon Validation team to test and characterize sophisticated next-generation Arm SoC processors. Your primary responsibilities include developing and enabling system-level stress workloads on Linux and Bare-Metal software environments, collaborating with teammates to leverage test content for silicon characterization, and debugging complex system issues. You will also develop test plans and implement tests specifically designed for characterizing silicon at the system level. To succeed in this role, you must possess experience in pre-silicon and post-silicon validation along with proficiency in C/C++, ARM assembly, Python, and various scripting languages. You will utilize scopes, logic-analyzers, and debuggers to resolve issues while applying your knowledge of silicon process technology regarding power and performance to solve critical hardware problems for the Arm processor portfolio.

What you'll do

  • Develop and enable system-level stress workloads on Linux and Bare-Metal software environments.
  • Create test plans to characterize silicon at the system level.
  • Implement tests for characterizing next-generation Arm SoC processors.
  • Debug and resolve complex system issues and hardware bugs.
  • Use scopes, logic analyzers, and debuggers to root-cause silicon issues.
  • Characterize silicon performance and power across various process technologies.
  • Utilize C/C++, ARM assembly, and Python scripts to develop validation content.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience).
  • Master's Degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience).
  • Experience in pre-silicon and post-silicon validation.
  • Proficiency in C/C++, ARM assembly, Python, and other scripting languages.
  • Solid understanding of silicon process technology regarding power and performance.
  • Expertise in debugging system and silicon issues using scopes, logic analyzers, and debuggers.
  • Commanding knowledge with process, voltage, and temperature validation (preferred).
  • Experience with PCIe, CLX, UCIe, and DDR interfaces (preferred).
