Own and lead pre-silicon and post-silicon bring-up, validation, and qualification activities across the full product lifecycle, from test planning and emulation through characterization and fleet deployment
Architect and drive development of scalable validation frameworks, diagnostic toolsets, and automation infrastructure targeting custom infrastructure ASICs
Lead root-cause analysis and resolution of complex silicon failures across pre-silicon simulation, emulation, and post-silicon environments, driving systematic debug methodologies across teams
Provide technical direction on validation coverage, test content prioritization, and silicon readiness criteria to ensure successful tape-out and productization milestones
Collaborate with ASIC design, architecture, and systems engineering teams to influence next-generation silicon design decisions based on validation findings and fleet production insights
Establish and enforce validation best practices, coverage metrics, and quality gates across the silicon development organization
Drive technical alignment across internal and external partners, including foundry, IP vendors, and platform teams, to resolve silicon-level issues and accelerate bring-up timelines
Mentor and provide technical guidance to other engineers across the validation organization, elevating team-wide capability in silicon debug, test automation, and characterization
Translate production fleet data and system-level use cases into actionable validation requirements and regression coverage improvements
Define long-term roadmaps for validation infrastructure and tooling to support Meta's growing portfolio of custom data center silicon
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
12+ years of experience in ASIC pre- and post-silicon validation, including silicon bring-up, characterization, and productization for data center or high-performance computing applications
