Silicon Validation Engineer
Core
Define, model, design, optimize, verify, validate, implement, and document IP (block/SoC) development for high performance, high quality, low power products.
Role type
ASIC validation engineer (analog/mixed-signal)
Builds
Digital and/or analog IP blocks and SoCs for communication and data processing products
Domain
Semiconductors / ASIC Design / High-speed links
Required skills
Analog and mixed-signal circuit design, high-speed link design (DDR PHY, Serdes), Tx/Rx equalization techniques (de-emphasis, CTLE, DFE), DDR protocols, lab measurement instruments (Oscilloscope, BERT), JTAG/LTB debugging, post-silicon validation, C/Python programming
Preferred skills
Experience with high-speed digital circuits, memories, and lab testing
Technologies
DDR PHY, Serdes, Oscilloscope, BERT, JTAG, LTB debugger, C, Python
Responsibilities
Define, model, design, optimize, verify, validate, implement, and document IP (block/SoC) development; collaborate with cross-functional groups to determine product execution path; perform post-silicon validation and debugging; conduct lab measurements using instruments like Oscilloscope and BERT.
Seniority
Mid-level, hands-on IC
