System Validation & Emulation (SVE) team is part of the central SoC validation organization responsible for ensuring end-to-end silicon quality across pre- and post-silicon phases .
This team focuses on content quality and system-level validation enablement , offering deep exposure to SoCs through bare-metal validation content , scalable automation frameworks, and complex system debugs. Engineers in this role work across HW and SW boundaries to develop, validate, and scale system-level test content , ensuring high-quality silicon validation across a wide range of SoC domains.
Excellent Opportunity to work on cutting-edge SoCs across multiple product segments , including:
Premium mobile and flagship platforms
AI Accelerator platform
Role Overview Seeking an experienced DDR Validation Engineer for end-to-end validation of next-generation LPDDR5X and LPDDR6 memory subsystems on AI Accelerator and Flagship mobile platforms. This role will lead memory bring-up, performance validation, system stress, debug, and production readiness from pre-silicon through post-silicon phases.
Key Responsibilities Define and execute DDR validation strategy across emulation, FPGA, and silicon platforms.
Drive LPDDR5X/LPDDR6 bring-up, training validation, frequency scaling, low-power state validation, and feature enablement.
Develop and execute validation plans covering memory functionality, performance, reliability, power, and corner-case scenarios.
Lead debug of DDR controller, PHY, firmware, SI/PI, timing, and system-level issues.
Validate interactions between DDR, CPU, GPU, NPU,



cache hierarchy, NoC, and system software.
Drive bandwidth, latency, QoS, memory pressure, and AI workload characterization.
Develop scalable automation, regression infrastructure, and debug analytics frameworks.
Partner with Architecture, Design, Firmware, SI/PI, Package, and DRAM vendors to root-cause and resolve issues.
Required Qualifications BS/MS/PhD in EE, CE, CS, or related field.
5+ years of experience in DDR/memory subsystem validation or silicon bring-up.
Strong understanding of:
DDR controllers and PHYs
Memory training and calibration algorithms
Cache, coherency, and NoC architectures
Power management and low-power memory features
Proficiency in C/C++ and low-level software development.
Preferred Qualifications Mobile SoC, AI compute, automotive, or server platform validation experience.
Familiarity with SI/PI analysis, memory performance tuning, and thermal characterization.
Experience driving first-silicon memory bring-up and volume production qualification.
Minimum Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 4+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 3+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
