Job Description
- As a Validation Engineer/Lead, you will be part of the Silicon Engineering Team, developing high performance Packet Processing Silicon.
- You would be working on system and platform level validation on Foundational Ethernet Solutions (FNIC SoC’s), Smart NIC’s that intelligently manage system-level resources by securely accelerating networking and storage infrastructure functions in a data center.
- You will be a key member of the silicon validation team responsible for ensuring that we deliver high-quality silicon to customers.
- Be responsible for developing the integration, validation plan and developing and implementing necessary tests for validation.
- Develop detailed test plans, based on design specifications and coordination with a cross-functional team (e.g., architecture, design, software, firmware).
- You will own the laboratory debug of failures with cross-functional teams (Silicon, Boards, Software, Manufacturing, PPV) and contribute into the deep dive debug of the issues.
- As part of this role, you will plan, write and execute tests to establish functional health of our ASICs, both under nominal and PVT conditions.
- You will develop test cases that executes concurrent scenarios and induces stress on different domain and parts of the silicon to ensure the Si performance and validate different features.
- Tasks will include understanding the Product System Requirements, defining test specifications, creating System Level Test Plan, design, develop, operate, and maintain software based validation tests and perform pre/post validation with laser sharp focus on Silicon quality assurance through validation coverage.
- Participate in validation plan staging to emulation model, silicon availability schedule, prioritizing the test cases for the respective milestone , validation driver and firmware coordination, cross and virtual platforms usage, emulation prototyping , silicon bring-up activities.
- Integrate and validate complex hardware and software designs in pre-silicon through functional bring-up.
- Perform long-term system characterization and debug and root-cause failures.
- Provide feedback to improve features like power management quality, performance, and reliability through generations of designs including pre-silicon prototyping platforms as well as post-silicon bring-up and production.
