TL;DR · Wireless Silicon Validation Engineer

The Wireless Silicon Validation Engineer joins a team of hardware and software engineers to test next generation Wireless SoCs. This role involves supporting the full development cycle from silicon to products, working closely with designers and architects to understand functional blocks. You will write, debug, and integrate new tests for integrated Wireless chipsets, complex Digital Interfaces, and Power Management Subsystems. Responsibilities include developing functional test coverage in bare-metal FW to stress test chipsets, debugging hardware issues, and architecting frameworks for large-scale testing. Required skills include C/C++, embedded software, and hardware/software interaction knowledge. Preferred qualifications include Assembly, Oscilloscopes, Logic Analyzers, DMMs, and digital logic fundamentals. The work focuses on testing WiFi and BT protocols and pushing functional blocks to their limits during silicon bringup.

What you'll do

  • Develop functional test coverage in bare-metal firmware to stress test chipsets.
  • Write, debug, and integrate new tests for integrated wireless chipsets and digital interfaces.
  • Perform end-to-end usage stress tests on power management subsystems and wireless components.
  • Debug hardware issues and functional bugs surfaced during silicon testing.
  • Port functional tests into pre-silicon environments in collaboration with other organizations.
  • Architect and test frameworks to scale into test racks and large-scale testing environments.
  • Support product development builds both locally and remotely.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree and a minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Strong programming skills in C/C++.
  • Experience with embedded software.
  • Experience with hardware/software interaction.
  • Familiarity with computer, system, and SoC architecture.
  • Experience and/or interest in writing code to test IO devices and functional units.
  • Assembly language programming skills (preferred).
  • Familiarity with bench debug equipment such as Oscilloscopes, Logic Analyzers, and DMMs (preferred).
