Senior Engineer, Post Silicon Validation

We are validating building blocks in FPGA on board level to ensure functionality and performance aspect of Design intent. FPGA consists of

various IPs as a building block such as SERDES(PMA/PCS), Memory DDR(DDR4, LPDDR4, DDR5 etc), DPHY, PLL, DSP, Fabric, I/O etc.

As a Silicon Design Validation engineer, you will have an opportunity to learn and train yourself on how to validate one/or many of the building

blocks within the FPGA. And also, you will be able to acquire knowledge on process/methodology required for validating certain IPs from

planning to completion. While you are working on those, you will be exposed to cutting edge equipment and advanced boards as well as

Various SW/tools/scripts.

What you’re going to be exposed to and learn:

The ideal candidate is highly motivated in developing a career in Silicon Design Validation engineering. You will get significant exposure and

training in the following areas:

Chance to learn FPGA and it’s build block such as SERDES(PMA/PCS), Memory DDR(DDR4, LPDDR4, DDR5 etc), DPHY,

PLL, DSP, MIPI, Fabric, I/O etc but not limited.

•

• Validate and characterize various IPs from silicon arrival to release to production.

• Develop validation and characterization plans for certain IP, bench hardware and software.

• Develop test logic RTL to achieve intended validation/characterization test.

Drive new silicon product bring-up, validation, debug to asses IP functionality/performance. Characterizing data sheet

parameters. Analyzing the measured data with statistical view. Data sheet preparation etc.

Serve as the central resource with design, verification, manufacturing, test, quality and marketing/apps as the product(s) move

Silicon arrival to product release.

• Supporting customer issues as required to resolve issues found after product release
