Remote Pre-Silicon Diagnostics Engineer – ASIC Validation

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company; Phoenix (AZ); On-site; USD 106,000 - 243,000; Full time

Job summary

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is seeking a Pre-Silicon Diagnostics Engineer to validate Slingshot ASICs, primarily via emulator-based methods before silicon is available and later on hardware. You will design test infrastructure, develop automated content, and work across architecture, firmware, and software teams to ensure robust validation of complex networking products.

This role focuses on crafting scalable validation strategies, debugging intricate hardware-software interactions, and

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.

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.
