Job Summary
We have an exciting opportunity to be part of a collaborative, cross-functional development team validating cutting-edge, high-performance AI chips and platforms.
You will play a key role in supporting new product introductions and post-silicon validation.
Working within the Post-Silicon Validation team, you will be involved with bringing first silicon to life, functionally validating it and working closely with many other teams to help it become a fully characterised and working product, reporting project status/progress to program management on a regular basis. You will have the opportunity to provide technical guidance to other engineering team members. In this role, you can leverage our experience and industry knowledge to architect and drive implementation of continuous improvements to test infrastructure and processes.
The Team
The Post-Silicon Bringup team sits within the Architecture and Validation team, we are responsible for bringup and validation of new silicon when it returns from manufacture, enabling and supporting the production SW and FW teams to bring up their software and supporting the Silicon Characterisation team.
Responsibilities And Duties
- Plan, design, develop and debug silicon validation tests in bare metal C/C++ on FPGA/Emulator prior to first silicon
- Deploy silicon validation tests on first silicon and debugging them
- Develop automated test framework and regression test suites in Python to optimize validation efficiency
- Collaborate closely with engineers from many other disciplines on a variety of topics
- Work with Validation and Production Test engineering peers to implement best practices and continuous improvements to test methodologies
- Analyse test results, identify and debug failures/defects
- Contribute to shared test and validation infrastructure
- Provide feedback to architects
