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
