Senior FPGA SoC USB Validation Engineer (Post-Silicon)

Altera Corporation; Malaysia; Vor Ort; MYR 220.000 - 350.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Altera Corporation in Malaysia is seeking an experienced Silicon Validation engineer to lead end-to-end validation of USB host/device functionality within HPS subsystems. You will guide post-silicon validation, bring-up activities, and interoperability testing for next‑gen FPGA SoCs, collaborating with architecture, firmware, and board teams to ensure robust performance and customer readiness.

The role emphasizes hands-on debugging, protocol validation, and development of automation frameworks

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 8+ years of post-silicon validation experience with emphasis on SoC, HPS, USB, or high-speed I/O subsystems.
• Strong understanding of USB 2.0/3.x architecture, protocol layers, enumeration, link training, power management, and compliance requirements.

Aufgaben

• Develop and execute comprehensive post-silicon validation strategies for HPS USB subsystems, covering USB 2.0/3.x Host, Device, OTG, Hub, and peripheral interoperability scenarios.
• Perform system bring-up and debug of HPS subsystems, focusing on USB connectivity, protocol compliance, reset sequencing, clocking, PHY initialization, and hardware-software interactions.
• Create and execute test plans for USB protocol validation, interoperability testing, stress testing, performance benchmarking, negative testing, and corner-case scenarios.
• Debug silicon issues using protocol analyzers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG debuggers, and USB compliance tools.
• Drive root-cause analysis and issue triage across silicon, firmware, software, and platform components.
• Develop automation frameworks and regression environments using Python, TCL, Bash, or similar scripting languages.
• Collaborate with architecture, firmware, design, and board teams to improve USB validation coverage, observability, and debug capabilities for future products.
• Drive innovation in validation methodologies, automation, and infrastructure to improve quality, scalability, and execution efficiency.
