At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology. Cadence is the leader in hardware emulation-prototyping technology and products. System engineering team is responsible to define, validate and enable the products. We are now looking for a hands-on system integration engineer who wants to expand his/her scope, work with the interactions of a complex multi-rack system and grow his/her career. This position is a highly visible function to bridge and gate-keep the full integration, validation, and characterization of ASIC, HW/PCB, SW, FW, and FPGA subsystems in the whole development cycle. The same discipline also applies to system bring-up and testing, methodology development and verification. Key responsibilities Leverage silicon verification platform and environment to create necessary post-silicon infrastructure, methodology and automation to allow tests executed in a timely and efficient manner. Integrate silicon, HW, firmware, and system software into a complete system which includes various InfiniBand and PCIe protocols, PXE booting, virtual machines, secure networks, Ethernet and Ethernet-over-Infiniband, sockets and RPC calls, FPGA, microcontroller interfaces, JTAG, I2C, SPI, SERDES, memory and many other interfaces. Execute post-silicon tests to expose design issues, validate product against the specifications including performance, and qualify the design for production release. Review, replicate, and respond to customer issues. Perform initial analysis of error logs from customer design simulation runs. Debug and isolate system-level issues down to ASIC/FPGAs, host servers, subsystems, firmware modules, runtime diagnostics. Develop silicon and system stress tests. Leverage tests developed by other engineers. Package tests for production and field use. Define, develop and drive the implementation of validation automation environment.
