Senior Member of Technical Staff (MTS) - PostSilicon SoC & SystemLevel Validation Engineer

Role Overview

This role focuses on validating endtoend system behavior, ensuring that multiple SoC subsystems interact correctly under real customer and systemlevel use cases.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Own SoClevel postsilicon validation, focusing on interaction between multiple subsystems rather than isolated IP testing.
• Validate endtoend system flows involving CPU cores, onchip memories, NoC/interconnect, IOs, power management, and firmware.
• Ensure correct behavior across boot, runtime, stress, error, and recovery scenarios at the SoC level.

• Develop validation test cases based on customer use cases (boot flows, IO usage, stress, concurrency, power transitions) into executable validation plans.
• Debug & root cause analysis: Perform deep SoClevel debug to isolate failures across hardware, firmware, and system software boundaries
• Lab execution & characterization: Use engineering lab equipment (oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, signal generators, etc.) to validate and debug functional behavior
• Documentation & reporting: Produce clear test plans, execution reports, failure analysis summaries, and status updates track bugs/issues to closure

QUALIFICATIONS:

• 12+ years of experience in presilicon and/or postsilicon SoC validation, with strong ownership in postsilicon execution.
• Strong understanding of SoC architecture and subsystem interactions.
• Experience validating systemlevel use cases and customerdriven scenarios.

• Familiarity with debug tools, system logs, traces, and labbased validation setups
• Strong understanding of SoC boot flows, firmware, and HW/SW interaction.
• Lab proficiency: Extensive experience using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, signal generators, etc.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with emulation platforms (Palladium, Protium, Zebu) for presilicon or early validation.

• Exposure to NoC fabrics, power management, clock/reset architecture, and system controllers.

• Familiarity with system software stacks (bootloader, Linux, RTOS) and their interaction with silicon.
• Hands on experience using AI tools
