We are looking for a Principal SoC HW (Analog/Functional/PnP) Validation Lead with a dedicated passion for customer focused solutions, insight and industry knowledge to envision and implement future technical solutions that will manage and optimize the Cloud infrastructure. We are looking for a Principal SoC HW (Analog/Functional/PnP) Validation Lead to join the team. The Silicon computing development team is seeking Principal SoC HW (Analog/Functional/PnP) Validation Lead to join the post-silicon validation (including functional, electrical, and power/performance aspects) team for our projects. This new team will be involved in numerous projects within Microsoft developing custom silicon for a diverse set of systems. We are responsible for delivering cutting-edge, custom SoC designs that can perform complex and high-performance functions in the most efficient manner. As a technical individual contributor in this high impact role on the team, you will:

Own project post-silicon validation direction including functional, electrical/analog and power & performance.
Define, guide, and contribute to the planning and implementation of silicon debug tools and capabilities.
Coordinate across multiple organization on program deliverables, requirements, and execution.
Provide technical guidance, coaching, and mentorship to other engineers in your areas of expertise.
Develop validation strategy, requirements, environments, tools, and methodologies including debug board and hardware/software requirements.
Apply your knowledge of validation principles and techniques and your judgement to deliver test plans, including test content, scripts, tools and other validation collateral.
Execute content in post-silicon, triage and debug failures.
Apply your growth mindset to learn and adapt in a complex and dynamic environment.
Engage with partners to drive continuous improvement to the design, to validation plans/collateral, and methodology to prevent, reduce, and/or find bugs sooner, more easily, or more reliably.
Apply your One Microsoft mentality to collaborate with and influence architects, logic designers, verification engineers, other post-silicon validators, and IP and tool providers.
Delight your customers by providing high quality results on schedule.
Provide technical leadership with respect and integrity.
Apply your expertise towards pre-silicon verification plans, tests, and debug of your area.
