Find & Apply For Validation Engineer Jobs in Sunnyvale, California

Meta's Infrastructure team delivers scalable and reliable custom ASIC solutions to meet Meta's data center needs. Ramping to production and solving data center scaling and deployment challenges requires a systems-based approach to silicon bring-up and validation.

The team works on productization:

early architecture and design inputs, pre-silicon validation on emulation platforms, first-silicon bring-up, and post-silicon characterization across process, voltage, and temperature corners. We write tests, build bare-metal environments and reusable frameworks that scale from pre-silicon platforms to large fleets of ASICs in the lab, and we build and maintain extensive lab automation to do it at volume and velocity.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience 12+ years of relevant industry experience Demonstrated hands-on validation and characterization experience on complex ASICs, SoCs, NICs, or high-speed interfaces Proven experience with PVT (Process / Voltage / Temperature) characterization Ability to read and reason about schematics and either power delivery networks or high-speed interface implementations Proficiency in Python for test development, lab automation, and/or data analysis Hands-on lab experience with domain-relevant instrumentation Experience building large-scale lab automation frameworks and data pipelines for characterization data Familiarity with on-die telemetry, ring-oscillator data, eFuse-based binning, and adaptive voltage scaling Experience developing hardware for data center deployment Experience taking a custom ASIC from first silicon through high-volume production Experience with custom silicon programs Hands-on lab experience with domain-relevant instrumentation for Power - SMUs, electronic loads, power analyzers, scopes, current probes, thermal chambers / forced-air and liquid-cooled setups; plus experience with multi-kW systems Experience with liquid-cooled and high-TDP (2kW+) accelerator or networking platforms Experience working directly with ODMs, test houses, and silicon vendors Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field Experience across both pre-silicon (emulation/FPGA) and post-silicon validation
