Silicon Validation Engineer

About the Role

Own silicon validation for our AI accelerator end to end. You'll start in emulation and FPGA prototyping before tapeout, bring up first silicon in the lab, and carry it through to production-quality parts in the field. You'll build the validation plans, environments, and automation that prove our silicon works at scale. You'll work closely with architecture, design, firmware, software, and systems teams to find and fix issues wherever they live.

What You'll Do

• Create validation plans for AI accelerator silicon, from pre-silicon through production
• Build validation environments, including validation firmware, applications, test content, and silicon diagnostics
• Develop test automation that scales execution and automated triage across tens to thousands of silicon samples, thousands of tests, and thousands of test hours
• Run pre-silicon validation on emulation and FPGA prototyping platforms
• Lead silicon and system bring-up from first power-on through full post-silicon validation, including functional validation, power and performance characterization, and characterization across process, voltage, and temperature (PVT)
• Debug and root-cause issues across emulation, silicon, system hardware, firmware, and software<
