Technical Lead (Silicon Validation)

Job Description

Position:

Technical Lead (Silicon Validation)

Job Description:

Experience: 10-15 Years 


What You'll Be Doing

Principal Accountabilities:

  • Lead pre & post-silicon functional validation activities for complex SoCs, MCUs, and ASICs.
  • Drive board bring-up covering power, reset, clock, straps, fuses, hardware initialization, and JTAG debug.
  • Develop and execute validation plans, test cases, and debug strategies for functional and system-level validation.
  • Lead hardware debug and failure analysis by performing root cause investigations of boot failures, system hangs, data corruption, memory access issues, and intermittent hardware failures.
  • Validate and debug interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, CAN/CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay, UART, I2C, and SPI.
  • Perform Lab Validation & debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, bus sniffers, and JTAG.
  • Validate SRAM/Flash and debug memory initialization, access, and data integrity issues.
  • Read schematics and perform pin-level signal tracing to isolate hardware issues.
  • Work with RTL/design, firmware, architecture, and system teams to identify root causes and drive issues to closure.
  • Lead technical debug activities and mentor validation engineers.

Job Complexity:

  • Leads technical execution of silicon validation and hardware debug activities.
  • Provides technical guidance on silicon bring-up, validation, failure analysis, and debug methodologies.
  • Review validation plans, test methodologies, and debug approaches.
  • Coordinates with cross-functional teams to resolve complex silicon and system-level issues.
  • Drive issue tracking, validation metrics, and closure activities.
  • Mentor junior engineers on silicon debug and validation best practices.
     

What Are We Looking For

  • 10-15 years of strong hands-on expertise in silicon bring-up, board-level debugging, protocol validation, hardware failure analysis, and lab-based validation on real silicon platforms.
  • Strong experience with SoC, MCU, or ASIC bring-up and functional validation.
  • Hands-on experience with power, reset, clocking, straps, configuration errors.
  • Experience debugging PCIe, Ethernet, CAN/CAN FD, LIN, FlexRay, UART, I2C, or SPI interfaces.
  • Strong understanding of SRAM/Flash, register-level configuration, signal integrity, and hardware failure analysis.
  • Proficiency with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and other hardware debug equipment.
  • Ability to read schematics and perform pin-level signal tracing.
  • Strong root-cause analysis and problem-solving skills.
  • Experience leading technical debug activities and mentoring engineers.

Education

  • B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, Computer Engineering, or related field.
