TL;DR · Wireless Silicon Validation Engineer

As a Wireless Silicon Validation Engineer, you will join a team of hardware and software engineers to test next generation Wireless SoCs. You will support the full development cycle from silicon to products, working closely with designers and architects to understand functional blocks and use-cases. Your daily responsibilities include writing, debugging, and integrating new tests for integrated Wireless chipsets, Digital Interfaces, and Power Management Subsystems. You will perform end-to-end usage stress tests, push functional blocks to their limits, and debug hardware issues. The role requires strong programming skills in C/C++, experience with embedded software, and familiarity with SoC architecture. You will also utilize bench debug equipment like Oscilloscopes and Logic Analyzers while applying knowledge of WiFi or BT protocols and digital logic fundamentals.

What you'll do

  • Write, debug, and integrate new tests for integrated wireless chipsets and digital interfaces.
  • Develop functional test coverage in bare-metal firmware to stress test the chipset.
  • Debug hardware issues and functional blocks exposed during silicon bringup and testing.
  • Push functional blocks to their limits to identify and resolve performance issues.
  • Architect and test frameworks to scale into test racks and large-scale testing environments.
  • Support product development builds both locally and remotely.
  • Integrate tests into pre-silicon environments in coordination with other organizations.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree is required.
  • Strong programming skills in C/C++ are required.
  • Experience with embedded software is required.
  • Experience with hardware/software interaction is required.
  • Familiarity with computer, system, or SoC architecture is required.
  • Experience or interest in writing code to test IO devices and functional units is required.
  • Assembly language programming skills (preferred).
  • Familiarity with bench debug equipment such as Oscilloscopes, Logic Analyzers, and DMMs (preferred).
  • Digital logic fundamentals including timing analysis, state-machine debug, and RTL/test-bench development experience (preferred).
  • Basic WiFi or BT protocol knowledge (preferred).
