Senior Engineer (Level 1) (Silicon Validation)

Position:

Job Description:

Principal Accountabilities:

• Perform pre & post-silicon functional validation activities for complex SoCs, MCUs, and ASICs.
• Perform board bring-up covering power, reset, clock, straps, fuses, hardware initialization, and JTAG debug.
• Perform hardware debug and failure analysis by performing root cause investigations of boot failures, system hangs, data corruption, memory access issues, and intermittent hardware failures.
• Validate and debug interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, CAN/CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay, UART, I2C, and SPI.
• Perform Lab Validation & debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, bus sniffers, and JTAG.
• Validate SRAM/Flash and debug memory initialization, access, and data integrity issues.
• Read schematics and perform pin-level signal tracing to isolate hardware issues.
• Work with RTL/design, firmware, architecture, and system teams to identify root causes and drive issues to closure.

Job Complexity:

· technical execution of silicon validation and hardware debug activities.

· Perform silicon bring-up, validation, failure analysis, and debug methodologies.

· Coordinate with cross-functional teams to resolve complex silicon and system-level issues.

Skills:

· Strong hands-on expertise in silicon bring-up, board-level debugging, protocol validation, hardware failure analysis, and lab-based validation on real silicon platforms.

· Strong experience with SoC, MCU, or ASIC bring-up and functional validation.

· Hands-on experience with power, reset, clocking, straps, configuration errors.

· Experience debugging PCIe, Ethernet, CAN/CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay, UART, I2C, or SPI interfaces.

· Strong understanding of SRAM/Flash, register-level configuration, signal integrity, and hardware failure analysis.

· Proficiency with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and other hardware debug equipment.

· Ability to read schematics and perform pin-level signal tracing.

· Strong root-cause analysis and problem-solving skills.

Education

• B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, Computer Engineering, or related field.
