Staff Sr Engineer Engineer, Validation

Seeking a technically strong and proactive Post-Silicon System Validation / Functional Validation Engineer to drive the planning execution and debug of system-level validation of IP and SoC/MCU designs. This role is critical in verifying functional correctness feature compliance performance and robustness of silicon devices across use cases voltage/temperature corners and real application conditions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Execute postsilicon system and functional validation of automotive SoCs/MCUs to ensure functional correctness robustness and performance.
• Own featurelevel validation plans test strategies and coverage matrices aligned with architecture and design specifications.
• Execute validation of boot flows power/clock/reset memory subsystems interconnects and interfaces across stress corner and fault scenarios.
• Drive system bringup on evaluation boards emulation/FPGA platforms and silicon validation setups.
• Develop and maintain test firmware diagnostics automation scripts and stress tools to exercise system features.
• Perform handson silicon debug and rootcause analysis working closely with design DV firmware and software teams to drive closure.
• Analyse validation data and logs track issues through structured closure and contribute to quality metrics.
• Support escapeprevention efforts by identifying coverage gaps corner cases and robustness risks.
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance within the validation team.
• Contribute to validation readiness reports risk assessments and release signoff inputs.

Qualifications :

Required skills and Qualification:

• B.E./B. Tech or M.E./M. Tech in Electronics Electrical or Computer Engineering.
• 5 to 12 years of experience in post-silicon validation system validation or embedded SoC bring-up.
• Strong understanding of SoC architecture ARM cores (A/M series) peripherals power/clock/reset and low-power design techniques.
• Experience validating high-speed interfaces (e.g. DDR USB PCIe MIPI Ethernet) and standard protocols (SPI I2C UART CAN LIN FlexRay etc.).
• Proficiency in C/C or embedded programming for firmware development and test automation.
• Hands-on experience with lab tools (oscilloscopes logic analyzers power analyzers thermal sensors).
• Familiarity with validation frameworks debug utilities (JTAG Lauterbach OpenOCD) and issue tracking systems (JIRA Bugzilla).
• Strong leadership communication and collaboration skills.
• Experience with AI frameworks for SoC Validation efficiency and quality gain eg validation specific AI agents Cody AI for content development etc.

Preferred

• Ability to work effectively in a multicultural cross-functional environment.
• Familiarity with automotive technical trends.
• Self-starter with a proactive mindset and strong analytical and strategic thinking capabilities.
• Experience in validation of  (Neural Processing Unit) or AI accelerator HW functionality on SoC.
