Hardware Validation Automation Engineer (Post-Silicon Validation)

Hardware Validation Automation Engineer (Post-Silicon Validation) :

Responsibilities:

Develop comprehensive validation plans, test cases, and automation toolsets for post-silicon validation, targeting silicon diagnostics, performance analysis, and bare-metal to data center-level deployments.

Design and implement automation frameworks and debug tools to accelerate silicon bring-up and issue triage.

Analyze production system use cases to align validation efforts with real-world performance and reliability expectations.

Lead end-to-end post-silicon validation activities, including strategy definition, planning, execution, and enablement, ensuring timely and successful product delivery.

Debug, root cause, and resolve silicon-related issues throughout the product lifecycle, collaborating across hardware, software, and system teams.

Minimum Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

3+ years of experience across ASIC development cycles, including design, bring-up, and validation.

Extensive experience in silicon debug, issue isolation, and analytics.

Proficiency in Python, C/C++, or similar programming languages, with strong knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented programming.

Demonstrated ability to collaborate with internal and external stakeholders involved in ASIC and system development.

Hands-on experience in post-silicon validation and system-level testing.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with emulation/FPGA platforms for pre- and post-silicon validation enablement.

Familiarity with high-speed interfaces and domains such as PCIe, networking, flash storage, memory subsystems (DDR4/5, LPDDR, HBM), CPUs, and GPUs.

Solid understanding of embedded systems and common bus protocols (I2C, SPI, USB, PCIe).

Experience with Linux-based systems and server hardware management.
