The Compute Silicon & Manufacturing Engineering (CSME) Cloud Compute Development Organization (CCDO) is seeking a SoC HW (Digital, Analog or PnP) Validation Engineer to join the post-silicon validation (functional and/or power/performance) team for our projects. We are responsible for delivering cutting-edge, custom SoC designs that can perform complex and high-performance functions in the most efficient manner. As a technical individual contributor in this high impact role on the team, you will: Own post-silicon validation of one of the following areas - functional, electrical, or power/performance. Define, guide, and contribute to the implementation of silicon debug tools and capabilities. Ramp up on the overall architecture, implementation of complex features/flows/protocols, and their interactions with other parts of the SoC, with the platform, and with software. Provide technical guidance, coaching, and mentorship to other engineers in your areas of expertise. Develop validation strategy, requirements, environments, tools, and methodologies including debug board and hardware/software requirements. Apply your knowledge of validation principles and techniques and your judgement to write test plans and implement them by developing test content, scripts, tools and other validation collateral. Execute content in post-silicon, triage and debug failures. Apply your growth mindset to learn and adapt in a complex and dynamic environment. Engage with partners to drive continuous improvement to the design, to validation plans/collateral, and methodology to prevent, reduce, and/or find bugs sooner, more easily, or more reliably. Delight your customers by providing high-quality results on schedule. Provide technical leadership with respect and integrity. Apply your expertise towards pre-silicon verification plans, tests, and debug of your area. Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 1+ year(s) technical engineering experience OR Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 2+ years technical engineering experience OR equivalent experience. This role will require access to information that is controlled for export under export control regulations, potentially under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations or Export Administration Regulations, the EU Dual Use Regulation, and/or other export control regulations. As a condition of employment, the successful candidate will be required to provide either proof of their country of citizenship or proof of their US. residency or other protected status (e.g., under 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)) for assessment of eligibility to access the export-controlled information. To meet this legal requirement, and as a condition of employment, the successful candidate's citizenship will be verified with a valid passport. Lawful permanent residents, refugees, and asylees may verify status using other documents, where applicable. Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 2+ years technical engineering experience OR Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 1+ years technical engineering experience OR Doctorate in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field OR equivalent experience. Applied understanding of Computer Architecture and CPU/SoC validation principles, including: Understanding of SoC subsystem, SoC system level, and platform level functionality and writing scripts/software with industry standard languages like Python or C/C++. Proficient communication, collaboration and teamwork skills and ability to lead, grow, and contribute to diverse and inclusive teams. Verification, logic development, validation, or validation tools experience as part of a CPU, SoC and/or IP development team Leadership skills
