Job Description:

The successful candidate will work with SOC/FPGA products of Microchip Technology and contribute towards Validation of Programming, Security, and Debug features of the FPGA.

This role of Validation Engineer will involve deep analytical reasoning to understand, analyze and identify root causes of the system level failures that occur during Validation.

Typical day would be spent on development and debug before concluding whether the observation is True Positive, False Positive, True Negative or False Negative.

Individual responsibilities and nature of work include:

Reading, interpreting multiple Design Specs, communicating with Designers to get clarity on expectations (Acceptance Criteria) of a use model.
Being a very versed documentation expert who can convert the Specification to Use Models and categorize the atomic configurations to come up with use cases in those use models.
Write system and product level validation/Emulation plans for new and existing silicon products and projects execute per plan, record, and communicate results.
Design Creation on Libero SoC.
Simulating block level and Systems level using ModelSim Expertise to have used ARM/RISC-V IP stitching to RTL and execute Applications on them.
Learn new system designs and validation methodologies.
Understand FPGA architectures. Write high quality code in Verilog/SystemVerilog and ability to develop Embedded C applications to help validate System level use models.
Ability to review board level schematics and understanding of basic circuits. Lab level debug using oscilloscopes, System level Validation and working knowledge on board debug based on Schematics.
Ability and interest to pick up new tools for Engineering activities and be an effective contributor in a cross-functional team-oriented environment
