General Summary 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 role 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 System level validation of clock, power, reset, and power-management architectures for next-generation Premium Tier MSM platforms. Drive pre-silicon and post-silicon validation of Clocking infrastructure, PMIC integration, DVFS, and low-power features across complex multi-die AI systems. Partner closely with Architecture, Design, Verification & Firmware teams to debug and root-cause power, performance, stability, and scalability issues. Define validation methodologies, stress workloads, and automation frameworks to ensure robust operation under demanding AI training and inference scenarios.



Own power subsystem bring-up readiness and delivery of production-quality silicon across all program milestones
An idóneo candidate combines expertise in Clocking, DVFS, Power Management, PMIC, Firmware, Silicon Bring-up, and AI/HPC platform validation
Own the E2E bare metal framework validation SoC clock and power architectures
Validation planning – understand design changes, visualize standalone and system level test requirements and scenarios
Test plan development – clearly document test strategy and dependencies
Conduct validation strategy and test plan review with all stakeholders – architects, designers, verification engineers, software engineers
Develop scalable device drivers, standalone and system tests using C
Debug complex issues both on pre-Si and post-Si platforms, provide debug direction
Review validation platform schematics to ensure post-Si debug support – might have to work with platform design team
Automate validation process – development, execution, inference using python, perl, shell
Use lab instruments – multimeter, oscilloscopes , logic analyzer
Efficiently collaborate with teams in different time zones – both internal and external




5+ years of relevant experience in SoC validation and / or associated areas (SW development, embedded systems etc.)
Prior work experience in clock/ power validation
Proficient in C, Python
Experienced in using lab instruments – multimeter, oscilloscopes , logic analyzers
Exposure to debug tools (JTAG etc.). Knowledge of debug methodology of ARM based SoCs
Very good at problem solving - analytical and debugging skills
Preferred Qualifications Prior exposure to below SW skills would add an edge above other applicants:
Experience with Cross-Compilers, Linkers and makefiles
Understanding of coherency and concurrency in modern SoC architecture
Knowledge of PMIC/ prior experience in validating rail power (power measurement tools/ setups)
Knowledge of pre-Silicon validation and debug on FPGA based emulation platforms is a plus
Knowledge of RTL and HDLs (Verilog/ System Verilog) would be an additional advantage
Should have prior work experience in a cross functional matrix work environment
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.
