FPGA Silicon Validation Engineer
Job Details:
Job Description:
We are seeking a hands-on Silicon Validation Engineer to lead the bring-up and validation of high-speed analog I/O and PHY designs, including transmitters, receivers, clocking circuits, and voltage regulators for DDR, LPDDR, and MIPI interfaces.
Key Responsibilities
Own end-to-end high-speed I/O and PHY validation across multiple silicon programs.
Develop scalable validation methodologies, test setups, and automation frameworks.
Execute post-silicon bring-up, characterization, and debug using advanced lab equipment.
Influence board design on high-speed channel implementation, stack-up, routing, and I/O termination.
Collaborate with firmware teams to develop test algorithms and validate calibration flows.
Partner with circuit design teams to review circuit architectures and drive design improvements based on silicon results.
Lead root-cause analysis and cross-functional debug.
Qualifications:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related discipline.
Industry experiencein post-silicon validation, silicon bring-up, or PHY design.
Hands-on expertise with validating high-speed interfaces and PHYssuch as DDR/LPDDR, MIPI and GPIO.
Strong understanding of high-speed signal integrity, power integrity, timing, and analog/mixed-signal behaviors.
Proficiency with lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, BERTs, protocol analyzers, logic analyzers, and pattern generators.
Experience in post-silicon debug and issue resolution across silicon, package, board, firmware, and software domains.
Proficiency in scripting or programming (e.g., Python, Perl, TCL, C/C++) for validation automation and data analysis.
