Job Type: Full-time

We are looking for an experienced Post Silicon Validation Engineer to join our semiconductor engineering team and validate cutting-edge silicon products from bring-up through production readiness. This role is ideal for professionals with strong expertise in DDR Validation, JTAG, Oscilloscopes, and I2C, along with a deep understanding of post-silicon debugging, hardware validation, and system-level testing.

As a Post Silicon Validation Engineer, you will be responsible for validating silicon functionality, executing comprehensive test plans, identifying hardware and firmware issues, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure product quality and performance. You will play a key role in delivering reliable, production-ready silicon by performing detailed root-cause analysis and driving issue resolution throughout the validation lifecycle.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

- Develop, execute, and maintain post-silicon validation plans for complex semiconductor devices and SoCs.
- Perform DDR validation, memory subsystem testing, and signal integrity verification to ensure reliable system performance.
- Utilize JTAG tools for device bring-up, debugging, and hardware diagnostics during silicon validation.
- Operate and interpret measurements from oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and other laboratory equipment to investigate hardware behavior.
- Validate communication interfaces including I2C, SPI, UART, PCIe, USB, and other standard protocols as applicable.
- Perform board-level bring-up, hardware characterization, functional verification, and performance benchmarking.
- Debug silicon, firmware, and hardware issues by conducting systematic root-cause analysis and collaborating with design, firmware, and manufacturing teams.




- Design and automate validation test cases, scripts, and regression suites to improve test coverage and engineering productivity.
- Analyze validation results, document defects, and track issues through closure while ensuring timely resolution.
- Collaborate with RTL, design verification, firmware, hardware, and product engineering teams throughout the product development lifecycle.
- Create and maintain detailed validation reports, test documentation, and technical specifications.
- Support production readiness, qualification activities, and continuous improvement initiatives by identifying opportunities to enhance validation methodologies and processes.

What Makes You a Great Fit

- 5+ years of experience in Post Silicon Validation, hardware validation, or semiconductor product validation.
- Solid hands-on expertise in DDR Validation, JTAG debugging, Oscilloscopes, and I2C protocol validation.
- Experience with silicon bring-up, board-level debugging, and hardware characterization.
- Proficiency in using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and JTAG debuggers.
- Solid understanding of high-speed interfaces, memory subsystems, embedded systems, and digital hardware architectures.
- Experience developing validation plans, automated test scripts, and regression frameworks.
- Strong debugging, analytical, and root-cause analysis skills with the ability to resolve complex silicon and hardware issues.
- Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python, Shell, or Perl for validation automation is an advantage.
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills with the ability to work effectively across hardware, firmware, design, and validation teams.
- Self-driven mindset with a strong focus on quality, ownership, and delivering reliable, production-ready semiconductor products in a fast-paced engineering workplace.
