Remote Pre-Silicon Diagnostics Engineer (ASIC/Slingshot)

Hewlett Packard Enterprise; Fort Collins (CO); On-site; USD 111,000 - 211,000; Full time

Job summary

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is seeking a Pre-Silicon Diagnostics Engineer to validate Slingshot ASICs, developing emulator-based test content and scalable frameworks. You will collaborate with architecture, design, firmware, and software teams to ensure high-quality validation coverage across product generations.

The role emphasizes test development, debugging complex hardware-software interactions, and bringing up new ASIC revisions.

Qualifications

• Experience developing diagnostics, validation, verification, firmware, embedded software, or other tests for ASICs or other complex digital systems.
• Proficiency in object-oriented programming.
• Proficiency in Python software development.
• Proficiency with Linux command-line environments.
• Working knowledge of high-speed networking concepts and protocols, including Ethernet fundamentals and high-speed interfaces.
• Ability to independently develop test content, and debug complex technical issues.
• Ability to understand hardware behavior and identify defects through software-driven testing and analysis.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.

Responsibilities

• Develop, execute, and maintain chip-level validation tests for HPE Slingshot NIC and switch ASICs, primarily using emulator-based environments.
• Design and implement scalable test infrastructure and automated test frameworks.
• Develop software-driven test content that validates both HPE Slingshot-specific functionality and industry-standard networking protocols.
• Debug functional, performance, and reliability issues uncovered during validation, working closely with design, architecture, firmware, and software teams.
• Contribute to validation planning by identifying coverage gaps and proposing additional test scenarios within assigned areas.
• Support bring-up activities for new ASIC revisions and platforms.
• Document validation results, defects, and lessons learned to improve future validation effectiveness.
• Participate in design reviews, validation reviews, and post-silicon issue triage.
• Drive validation quality through test development, automation, and coverage expansion rather than execution of predefined test plans.
