Job description

Absolutely. I would make Pre-Silicon Validation, PDVT, and EDVT explicitly mandatory in the LinkedIn post so you don't attract candidates who only have general board bring-up experience.

We are looking for an experienced Hardware Validation Engineer to support customer validation boards through pre- and post-silicon bring-up, power validation, and hardware debugging.

• Perform hardware board bring-up and debugging.
• Support pre- and post-silicon validation activities.
• Perform Power Validation at both board and silicon levels.
• Validate low-speed interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, etc.
• Test and debug voltage regulator circuits.
• Support PDVT and EDVT validation activities.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to troubleshoot and resolve hardware issues.
• Lead validation activities and ensure quality customer deliverables.

Candidates must have hands-on experience with:

Hardware Board Bring-Up & Debug

• Experience with I/O validation.
• Knowledge of I2C, SPI, UART, and other low-speed interfaces.
• Basic Python automation experience is desirable.
• Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills.
• Excellent communication and ability to lead validation activities.

Please note: Candidates without hands-on Pre-Silicon Validation + PDVT + EDVT experience will not be considered.
