Lattice is a worldwide community of engineers, designers, and manufacturing operations specialists in partnership with world-class sales, marketing, and support teams, who are developing programmable logic solutions that are changing the industry. Our focus is on RD, product innovation, and customer service, and to that focus, we bring total commitment and a keenly sharp competitive personality.

Energy feeds on energy. If you flourish in a fast paced, results-oriented environment, if you want to achieve individual success within a team first organization, and if you believe you can contribute and succeed in a demanding yet collegial atmosphere, then Lattice may well be just what you re looking for.

Do you have a passion for invention and self-challenge This position gives you an opportunity to learn and participate in one of the most cutting-edge projects that Lattice s Silicon Engineering team has embarked upon to date.

We are validating building blocks in FPGA on board level to ensure functionality and performance aspect of Design intent. FPGA consists of various IPs as a building block such as SERDES(PMA/PCS), Memory DDR(DDR4, LPDDR4, DDR5 etc), DPHY, PLL, DSP, Fabric, I/O etc.

As a Silicon Design Validation engineer, you will have an opportunity to learn and train yourself on how to validate one/or many of the building blocks within the FPGA. And also, you will be able to acquire knowledge on process/methodology required for validating certain IPs from planning to completion. While you are working on those, you will be exposed to cutting edge equipment and advanced boards as well as Various SW/tools/scripts.

What you re going to be exposed to and learn:

The ideal candidate is highly motivated in developing a career in Silicon Design Validation engineering. You will get significant exposure and training in the following areas:

Chance to learn FPGA and it s build block such as SERDES(PMA/PCS), Memory DDR(DDR4, LPDDR4, DDR5 etc), DPHY, PLL, DSP, MIPI, Fabric, I/O etc but not limited.

Responsibilities

• Validate and characterize various IPs from silicon arrival to release to production.
• Develop validation and characterization plans for certain IP, bench hardware and software.
• Develop test logic RTL to achieve intended validation/characterization test.
• Drive new silicon product bring-up, validation, debug to assess IP functionality/performance. Characterizing data sheet parameters. Analyzing the measured data with statistical view. Data sheet preparation etc.
• Serve as the central resource with design, verification, manufacturing, test, quality and marketing/apps as the product(s) move Silicon arrival to product release.
• Supporting customer issues as required to resolve issues found after product release.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience
• Electrical Engineering degree with a strong desire to pursue an engineering career in Silicon Design Validation
