CPU validation

Role Overview: As a highly skilled Post-Silicon Validation Engineer at our CPU design and validation team, you will be responsible for validating and verifying the functionality, performance, and reliability of CPU hardware after silicon fabrication. Your role will involve close collaboration with pre-silicon, firmware, software, and manufacturing teams to identify and debug silicon issues, improve test coverage, and ensure the CPU meets design specifications and quality standards. Key Responsibilities: - Develop and execute comprehensive post-silicon validation plans and test cases for CPU hardware. - Perform functional, performance, power, and reliability testing on silicon prototypes. - Collaborate with design, verification, firmware, and software teams to debug silicon issues using tools such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, JTAG, and embedded trace. - Analyze test failures, generate detailed bug reports, and drive issues to closure. - Develop automation scripts and tools to enhance test coverage and efficiency. - Validate CPU features including cores, caches, memory subsystems, interconnects, and power management. - Support bring-up and production ramp of silicon with manufacturing and yield teams. - Provide feedback to pre-silicon teams to improve design and verification quality. - Document test plans, methodologies, and validation results. - Stay current with CPU architecture, industry standards, and validation methodologies. Qualification Required: - Strong understanding of CPU microarchitecture and components (cores, caches, memory controllers, interconnects). - Experience with post-silicon validation methodologies and tools. - Proficiency in hardware debugging tools (logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, JTAG). - Strong scripting skills in Python, Perl, TCL, or similar languages. - Familiarity with embedded software/firmware and low-level software debugging. - Knowledge of performance and power analysis techniques. - Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail. - Strong written and verbal communication skills. Additional Company Details: The company focuses on Electrical, Electronics, and Semiconductor sectors. As a Post-Silicon Validation Engineer, you will develop competency in your area of expertise, share expertise with others, interpret clients" needs, work independently or with minimum supervision, identify and solve problems in straightforward situations, contribute to teamwork, and interact with customers.,
