Responsibilities
Contribute to developing and improving post-silicon test content that exercises both IP and SoC levels workloads and other compute-intensive scenarios.
Collaborate with architecture, design, and firmware teams to define comprehensive validation plans for SoC features, focusing on power consumption, thermal management, sensors behavior, and performance metrics.
Work closely with design and firmware teams to propose and implement solutions for optimizing SoC power efficiency and performance, including tuning core-to-memory latencies and bandwidth, power control loops, thermal control loops, etc.
Develop and maintain automated test scripts and frameworks (primarily in Python) to improve validation efficiency and coverage.
Participate in early silicon bring-up and platform bring-up activities, ensuring the stability and functionality of high-power multi-core SoCs.
Requirements: Minimum qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
4 years of experience with functional tests for silicon validation (i.e., writing in C, C++ or Python, or similar).
Experience in silicon bring-up, functional validation, characterizing, and qualifying silicon.
Experience in debugging and triaging.
Preferred qualifications:
Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture.
Familiarity with pre-silicon development environments (e.g., emulation, software modeling).
This position is open to all candidates.
