About the job

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute tests in post-silicon validation and on hardware emulators and assist in bring-up processes from prototyping through post-silicon validation.
• Drive debugging and investigation efforts to root-cause complex, cross-functional issues, including pre-silicon prototyping platforms as well as post-silicon bring-up and production.
• Ensure validation provides necessary functional coverage for confident design.
• Help operate and maintain our hardware emulation platform for pre-silicon integration and validation.
