TL;DR · Support Engineer, Lab Support and Automation

The Support Engineer (Lab Support and Automation) joins the Engineering Services Group to provide end-to-end support for a fast-paced SoC post-silicon validation environment. This role combines software automation development with hands-on lab operations. You will design, develop, and maintain full-stack applications, test orchestration, and data pipelines to automate validation workflows and scale integration activities. Key responsibilities include troubleshooting hardware, software, and infrastructure issues while managing automated handlers, thermal equipment, and development boards. You will utilize technologies including Python, Flask, C#, SQL, NoSQL, PostgreSQL, and Splunk. The work involves solving cross-domain problems in silicon testing, characterization, and high-volume regression. You will ensure validation throughput and traceability by converting manual activities into reliable automated solutions while maintaining a safe, ESD-compliant laboratory environment.

What you'll do

  • Design, develop, and maintain full-stack software applications to automate post-silicon validation and integration activities.
  • Implement automation workflows using Python, Flask, C#, and SQL to improve validation throughput and traceability.
  • Troubleshoot hardware, software, network, and infrastructure issues affecting validation workflows and lab operations.
  • Configure and maintain validation platforms, including development boards, thermal equipment, power supplies, and automated handlers.
  • Manage data pipelines and databases for silicon parametric-data collection, high-volume regression, and stress testing.
  • Execute silicon characterization, debug experiments, and recovery of validation setups in a lab environment.
  • Maintain lab inventory, equipment readiness, and a clean, ESD-compliant laboratory environment.
  • Create technical documentation including software requirements, architecture notes, deployment instructions, and operational runbooks.

What we're looking for

  • High school diploma with 4+ years of experience, associate degree with 3+ years, or bachelor's degree with 2+ years in support engineering.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and application development.
  • Experience developing software automation, workflow tools, test infrastructure, data-processing solutions, or full-stack applications.
  • Experience with databases and data access using SQL, NoSQL, PostgreSQL, or comparable technologies.
  • Working knowledge of source control, CI/CD, unit testing, regression testing, debugging, and software-release practices.
  • Ability to troubleshoot across application software, operating systems, automation, databases, network connectivity, servers, and hardware interfaces.
  • Ability to use Windows and Linux environments, common productivity tools, and networking concepts relevant to lab and application infrastructure.
  • Experience with full-stack technologies like JavaScript, React, Flask, or AWS (preferred).
