Senior SoC Hardware Analog/Functional Validation Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Senior SoC Hardware Analog/Functional Validation Engineer

Description

Own post-silicon validation for custom SoC projects, focusing on PLL, IO electrical/analog, and/or functional IO interfaces. Define validation strategies, requirements, environments, and tools; write and implement test plans; and execute triage/debug for silicon failures. Provide technical leadership across hardware/software debug and collaborate with architects, verification engineers, and partners to improve validation methodology.

Responsibilities

• Own post-silicon validation in one or more areas: PLL, IO electrical/analog, or functional IO interfaces
• Define and implement silicon debug tools and capabilities
• Become an expert in high-speed IO interface architecture and interactions across the SoC, platform, and software
• Provide technical guidance, coaching, and mentorship to other engineers
• Develop validation strategy, requirements, environments, tools, and methodologies (including debug board and hardware/software requirements)
• Write test plans and implement them by developing test content, scripts, tools, and validation collateral
• Execute post-silicon content; triage and debug failures
• Apply a growth mindset to learn and adapt in a complex and dynamic environment
• Engage with partners to continuously improve design and validation collateral/methodology to find bugs earlier and more reliably
• Collaborate with architects, logic designers, verification engineers, other post-silicon validators, and IP/tool providers
• Apply expertise to pre-silicon verification plans, tests, and debug of your area

Requirements

• Doctorate with 1+ year experience OR Master’s with 4+ years OR Bachelor’s with 5+ years in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• Pass required Microsoft/customer/government security screenings, including Microsoft Cloud Background Check and export-controlled information eligibility requirements

Benefits

Base pay range (U.S.): USD $119,800 - $234,700 per year (with different ranges for San Francisco Bay area and NYC metro locations). Eligible candidates may receive additional benefits and compensation.
