Staff Engineer, ASIC Development Engineering

Responsibilities

• Take end-to-end ownership of SoC verification and validation flows, including planning, execution, and closure.
• Create comprehensive verification and validation plans for both pre- and post-silicon phases based on complex ASIC specifications.
• Develop and execute tests, including firmware, bare-metal tests, and Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) code.
• Perform debugging and root cause analysis of issues across digital logic, firmware, timing, and low-power domains.
• Run complex SoC scenarios on Palladium or Emulation platforms to accelerate debug and improve coverage.
• Build and maintain automated test environments, regression suites, and validation infrastructure.
• Validate complex datapath flows and port scenarios across pre-silicon and post-silicon environments.

Requirements

• BE or MS degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
• 5-8+ years of experience in SoC pre-/post-silicon verification, validation, and bring-up.
• Proficiency in C, Python, or Perl for test automation and tool development.
• Strong knowledge of SystemVerilog (SV) and UVM concepts.
• Deep understanding of embedded programming and hardware/software co-validation methodologies.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with industry-standard protocols such as PCIe, DDR, LPDDR, USB, or Ethernet.
• Hands-on experience with Palladium or other Emulation platforms.
• Experience with power-aware (UPF/CPF) validation and gate-level simulations.
• Proficiency using JTAG, trace, and waveform capture for SoC debugging.
