Meta's Infrastructure Silicon team designs and deploys custom silicon solutions that power the compute, networking, and storage infrastructure underpinning Meta's data centers at global scale. As a Hardware Engineer focused on Infrastructure Silicon Validation, you will be responsible for validating custom ASICs and silicon platforms — including compute accelerators, network ASICs, and storage controllers — ensuring they meet functional, performance, and reliability requirements before and after deployment. In this role, you will develop and execute validation strategies, build test infrastructure, and work closely with silicon design, firmware, and data center operations teams to bring next-generation infrastructure silicon from tape-out through production qualification.

Responsibilities

Develop and execute comprehensive validation plans for custom infrastructure ASICs, including compute accelerators, network ASICs, and storage controllers, covering functional correctness, performance, and reliability
Design and implement hardware validation frameworks, test benches,



and automated test suites to characterize silicon behavior across operating conditions
Perform bring-up and debug of custom silicon platforms, identifying and root-causing functional failures, timing violations, and signal integrity issues
Collaborate with RTL design and physical design teams to translate design intent into silicon-level validation coverage plans and corner-case test scenarios
Partner with firmware and software teams to validate hardware-software interfaces, including register maps, interrupt handling, DMA engines, and PCIe/Ethernet protocol stacks
Analyze silicon characterization data to assess performance margins, power consumption, and thermal behavior, providing actionable feedback to design teams
Drive post-silicon debug using lab instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and JTAG-based debug tools
Define and track silicon validation milestones,
