Senior Engineer II - Validation
About The Position
The Architecture Co-Verification team (ACOV) is an exciting, fast paced team responsible for enabling HW/FW development and coverification of state-of-art System-On-Chip (SoC) devices using industry leading HW emulators (such as Cadence Palladium and Protium). The team is deployed in all aspects of SoC development phases from architectural exploration to post-silicon validation, HW/FW codevelopment, pre-silicon functional co-verification, pre/post-silicon performance testing, power analysis, and critical post-silicon investigations. As a Senior Engineer II - Validation, you will be working closely with hardware designers, firmware engineers, and verification teams throughout the SoC development process. This is a role for a versatile engineer that enjoys the challenges of HW/FW co-development and system level co-verification using leading edge HW emulators and FPGA platforms. It’s a high visibility role that will develop a wide range of skills and exceptional problem-solving ability.
Requirements
- BS/MS degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or Computer Engineering
- 7.5 to 10 years of relevant work experience.
- 7.5+ years' experience with one or more serial protocols such as SAS/SATA/NVMe and a thorough knowledge of PCIe.
- Knowledge of key components of a server and storage solution including Windows/Linux host driver architectures.
- Willing to learn in a fast-paced environment, and being an organized self-starter.
- Proficient Linux experience and strong programming/scripting skills with languages such as C, Python, Tcl and Bash.
- Proficient in digital design, RTL coding with VHDL, Verilog, or System Verilog experience.
- Creation & management of system validation testing schedules and their execution.
- Knowledge of MIPS, ARM, or RISC-V architecture, including JTAG, I2C, and firmware programming.
Nice To Haves
- Excellent analytical and documentation skills.
