As a Power/Performance Validation Engineer, you’ll be an essential part of our General SoC System Validation Team within the organization.
Your mission is to ensure the overall quality of SoC silicon by using post silicon validation techniques to verify CPU/GPU/DDR/NOC blocks and automate processes with Python or similar scripting languages.
**Responsibilities**:
**Validation Responsibilities**:
- Perform Pre-Si and Post-Si Power, thermal & performance correlation, debug, and analysis at the system level across various SoC IPs.
- Execute regression and PVT (Process, Voltage, Temperature) testing across different parts, lots, and wafers; analyze the data and extract key metrics.
- Collaborate with architects, designers, and verification engineers to define and execute comprehensive validation plans.
- Debug low-level software and hardware issues, utilizing various debug tools like JTAG and kernel debuggers.
- Conduct Vmin/Fmax measurements and collect data for performance characterization.
- Automate validation flows, data collection, and analysis using Python or similar scripting languages.
- Develop and maintain software tools for automated testing and validation.
**Minimum Qualifications**:




- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Knowledge of Python or similar scripting languages for automation.
- Familiarity with prompt engineering to utilize AI.
- Understanding of mobile chip architecture (CPU, GPU, DDR, NOCs, etc.) and debugging low-level software and hardware issues.
- Basic RTL understanding and exposure to transistor power fundamentals.
- Experience in silicon parametric testing/characterization (Vmin/Power) is a plus.
- Excellent programming and scripting skills in preferred languages (C & Python).
- Ability to use lab equipment for testing and validation, including logic analyzers and oscilloscopes.
- Debug tools including JTAG and kernel debuggers like Lauterbach Trace32 debug platform.
- Good written and oral communication skills, multitasking skills, and understanding of deadline requirements.
- Ability to work independently with little supervision.
**Education**:
- Required: Bachelor’s degree in Computer and/or Electrical Engineering.
- Preferred: Master’s degree in Computer and/or Electrical Engineering.
