Description du poste

As part of an SoC validation team, the candidate will be required to perform functional validation of memories and high-speed interfaces for various SoC products. The validation may include IP level and sub-system level directed or stress testing and may be performed on various platforms such as pre-silicon emulation models and post-silicon validation boards. The validation may also include running functional tests under process/voltage/temperature conditions. The candidate will be expected to understand overall SoC architecture and various SoC components. The candidate will develop test plans from design specifications, develop test content, execute and collect test results, and debug any test failures. The candidate will also be expected to work effectively with various validation partners and customers such as designers, verification team, software team, product engineering, and customers.

Job Responsibility:

• Contribute to validation activities by preparing setups, executing tests, collecting data, and summarizing results.
• Assist with debugging issues, improving test coverage, and documenting observations under guidance from the team.
• Work with design, systems, and software teams to understand expected behavior and drive debug for issue resolution.
• Help maintain validation plans, reports, and technical records for project visibility.
• Contribute to product quality, technical learning, and disciplined test execution.

Requirements/Qualification:

• Bachelor’s/master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
• 15+ years' experience in validation or related SoC fields for Sr Principal /10-15 years' experience in validation or related SoC fields for Principal
• Experience in memories and high-speed interfaces
• Hands-on experience with lab work and use of lab equipment such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, etc. and related SW.
• Ability to lead a team technically
• Strong foundation in engineering fundamentals, problem solving, testing, and technical documentation.
• Able to collaborate with cross-functional teams and communicate technical ideas clearly.
• Good communication skills in English (written and spoken).
