SMTS Systems Engineering
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Post-Silicon Validation Engineer to join our dynamic team. As a Post-Silicon Validation Engineer your primary focus will be on developing and executing comprehensive validation plans, debugging complex issues, and collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to drive product quality and success.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with design and verification teams to define validation plan, strategies, objectives, and requirements for post-silicon validation activities.
- Develop and implement validation tests, including test benches, test cases, and automation scripts, to validate the functionality and performance of the silicon.
- Execute validation tests on silicon prototypes and evaluate results to identify and diagnose design defects, functional issues, and performance bottlenecks.
- Analyze and debug complex issues to identify root causes and work closely with design, architecture, and software teams to propose and implement effective solutions.
- Continuously improve and maintain the validation infrastructure, including test automation frameworks, tools, and methodologies, to streamline validation processes and increase productivity.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including design, verification, software, and system teams, to drive product quality, resolve issues, and ensure timely product releases.
- Prepare comprehensive validation reports, including test plans, test procedures, and defect tracking documentation, to communicate validation progress, results, and recommendations.
- Stay up-to-date with the latest industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in post-silicon validation to enhance your technical expertise and contribute to process improvements.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics or a related field. Advanced degree is a plus.
- 5-8 years of experience in high-speed IO validation and debugging, with preferable knowledge in DDR protocol validation.
- Solid understanding of semiconductor device architectures, digital logic design, and verification methodologies.
- Proficiency in programming languages such as C/C++, Python, or scripting languages used in test automation.
- Hands-on experience with validation tools and methodologies, such as simulation tools, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, BERT scope and JTAG debuggers.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to debug complex hardware and software interactions.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
- Ability to work independently and multitask in a fast-paced environment with a high attention to detail.
