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.
