Job Details:

Job Description: 

• Defines, develops, and performs functional validation for integrated SoCs, focusing on validation of IP integration, interaction between IPs, and systemlevel features.
• Applies various hardware and software level tools and techniques to ensure validation coverage and that performance, power, and area goals are met.
• Reviews proposed design changes to assess impact on validation plans, tasks, and timelines.
• Develops SoC validation methodologies, validation test plans, executes validation plans, and collaborates with other engineers for design optimization, troubleshooting, and failure analysis.
• Performs silicon debug to identify root causes and resolves all functional and triage failures for SoC issues.
• Tests interactions between various SoC features using validation infrastructure. Develops postsilicon validation infrastructure (e.g., performance monitors, behavioral checkers, state space coverage) and test environment used in validation testing.
• Publishes SoC validation reports summarizing all validation activities performed, reviews results, and communicates to relevant teams.
• Works with architecture, design, verification, board, platform, and manufacturing teams to maintain and improve debug, validation test strategy, methodologies, and processes for SoC interfaces and to meet desired product specifications.
