Post Silicon Validation Engineer

The Role

This is a unique opportunity to be a part of a groundbreaking wireless solution with few legacy constraints. As a Post Silicon Engineer, you will be part of a high-performance team responsible for bringing up, validating, and characterizing cutting-edge MODEM SOC used in Low Earth orbit Satellites, Gateways and Customer Terminals. You will work on technologies such as Secure boot, embedded processors and High-speed Interfaces.

Key Job Responsibilities

• Leverage existing infrastructure and framework to run Functional Validation tests on MODEM SOC, drive data collection and analysis. Help with First pass Debug of test Failures.
• Contribute to future silicon development with learnings and optimizations from silicon-based debug activities
• Participate in Design and development of SOC test platforms with robust architectural integrity
• Develop and maintain advanced test automation and comprehensive testbenches for high-speed interfaces and peripherals (I3C, QSPI, Ethernet)
• Conduct system-level debugs in collaboration with cross-functional teams (Design, DV, Architecture, Manufacturing)

Must have

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
• Able to work in a lab setting taking all requisite precautions
• Experience with silicon Bring-up, Validation and debug of SOC with ARM CPUs
• Familiarity with protocols such as I2C, SPI, I3C and eMMC
• Experience using Bench top instruments such as Power Supply, DMM, High Speed Oscilloscope, Signal generator, Spectrum Analyzer, BERT, RF Switches and DAQs
• Working knowledge of programming languages such as Python and Embedded C
• Expertise with JTAG-based debugging tools (e.g., Lauterbach)

Good to Have

• Experience Validating and Characterizing High speed peripherals – LPDDR4 (or Equivalent) and SerDes
• Knowledge of Power Analysis and Characterization, Signal-Integrity and Power-Integrity
• Experience using FPGA or Emulator for Pre-Silicon Validation and Bring-Up Prep.
• Working knowledge of a MODEM is a plus
