Post-Silicon Validation Staff Engineer

The charter for CPU Silicon Bringup team would be to prepare for and support bring up of every SoC using the Custom CPUs - from first Silicon through to productization.

• Roles and Responsibilities:
  • Work with CPU design and verification teams to develop CPU bring up and validation test plans.
  • Prepare for CPU bring up through pre-work on emulation and FPGA platforms.
  • Work with SOC bring up teams, software teams to plan CPU bring up.
  • Triage and debug failures on Silicon.
  • Develop test contents and testing strategies to assist validation of CPU on silicon.
  • Work with CPU verification teams to reproduce silicon fails on emulators and FPGAs.
  • Work with design team to suggest, architect new debug features to improve future CPU bringup's.

• Minimum Requirements:
  • BA/BS degree in CS/EE with 5+ years' experience.
  • 3+ Experience in Silicon Validation and bring up.
  • Implementation of assembly, C/C++ language embedded firmware
  • Experience with software tool chain including assemblers, C compilers, Makefiles, and source code control tools.
• Preferred Requirements:
  • Strong understanding of micro-processor architecture.
