Senior ASIC Post-Silicon Validation Engineer

Cisco; San Jose (CA); Presencial; USD 168.000 - 245.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Cisco Systems, Inc. is seeking an experienced post-silicon validation engineer to lead bring-up, debug, and validation of ASICs for the Silicon One team.

You will collaborate with RTL/DFT, firmware, and system teams to drive pre- to post-silicon transitions and ensure robust testing across IP, subsystems, and full chips. The role requires proficiency in C, Python, and scripting for automation, plus experience with I2C/SPI/JTAG and PCIe/Ethernet protocols.

Formación

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 7+ years experience.
• Experience in post-silicon validation, bring-up, and debug with ASICs.
• Experience bringing up standard peripheral interfaces (I2C, SPI, JTAG) and protocols (PCIe, Ethernet).
• Fluency in C, Python, and scripting for validation automation.

Responsabilidades

• Planning and setting up Silicon Bring-up infrastructure, including system boot, initialization, and Power-On of ASICs.
• Working closely with design, verification, and board teams to root-cause and resolve functional and electrical issues.
• Preparing the Validation Test plan and executing functional and performance testing targeting IP, Subsystem, and full-chip stress testing and corner case analysis.
• Developing and extending post-silicon validation infrastructure, automation, and test suites, including implementing efficient result capture, analysis, and regression frameworks.
• Applying expertise with lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, analyzers, traffic generators) as part of validation and characterization.
• Working closely with RTL, DFT, ATE, firmware, and system architecture teams to ensure a smooth transition from pre-silicon verification to post-silicon validation.
• Providing critical feedback on test escapes, yield issues, and silicon errata, influencing silicon revisions and firmware/driver workarounds.
