Job summary

Meta is building custom infrastructure ASICs for data center scale. The Silicon Engineer will create and execute validation plans across pre-silicon simulations and post-silicon bring-up, writing tests in Python/C/SystemVerilog and debugging across silicon, firmware, and system layers.

You will collaborate with RTL, physical design, firmware, and systems teams to diagnose and fix issues, and contribute to scalable validation infrastructure for fleet deployment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 2+ years of ASIC or SoC development, validation, or first-silicon bring-up.
• Experience writing test cases or validation scripts in Python, C/C++, SystemVerilog.
• Experience with debugging silicon products using hardware debug tooling.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute functional validation plans for custom ASICs across pre/post-silicon environments.
• Write and maintain test cases, validation scripts, and automation for simulation and silicon platforms.
• Build production diagnostics frameworks and kernel ideas for silicon validation to production.
• Perform post-silicon bring-up and debug of data center chips at board and system level.
• Root-cause and resolve issues across silicon, firmware, driver, board, and test setups.
• Collaborate with RTL, physical design, firmware, and systems teams to fix silicon bugs.
• Develop validation infrastructure, including regression suites and analysis tooling.
• Characterize silicon performance, power, and timing across corners.
• Document findings and feed insights back to design for next-gen architecture.
