Pre-Si Functional Validation on Hardware platform (FPGA/Emulation)

Job Description

Responsibilities : As Validation Engineer, you will drive the planning, test cases creation by reading multiple technical specifications, validation, and debug of various hardware IPs (Intellectual Property) as well as supporting the debug experiments and functional tests with next generation hardware IPs for Intel. The Pre-Si validation will happen on standard FPGA based HW platform while Post-Si validation will happen on Intel Test Chips and Intel HW platforms. Qualifications Preferred Experience & Skill set: Experience in Pre (+Post) Si functional validation Strong programming (C/C++) skills and Automation scripting (Python, Perl) expertise Extensive protocol knowledge of CAN/TSN/Ethernet/I2C/SPI/UART and any one of HSIO (PCIe/USB/DDR) Extensive experience with board/platform-level (Hardware & Software) debug Extensive experience with HW debug techniques and methodologies (FPGA and ASIC) Extensive experience with common lab equipment debug tools including JTAG, Logic Analyzer, Oscilloscope, etc. Responsibilities include: Reading, Defining, documenting, executing and reporting the overall functional test plan and verification strategy for IPs Supporting the debug of IP functional failure found during Pre and Post-Silicon validation, bring-up and production phases of Silicon programs Lab-based silicon bring-up and validation focused on the functionality In-Depth testing of IP features using troubleshooting methods, software tools, protocol/logic analyzers, oscilloscopes and other test equipment Engaging in system-level debug/triage efforts Leading collaborative technical discussions to drive resolution on technical issues and roll out technical initiatives Continuous improvement and developing knowledge of system architecture/debug of IPs Supporting debug effort for defects found on customer platforms as requested by customer support teams Driving technical innovation to enhance capabilities in IP functional validation, including tool and script development, and organization level technical initiatives Python expertise and FPGA Prototyping knowledge Minimum Qualifications: Masters or B.E / B.tech in Computer Architect/VLSIRequirements listed would be obtained through a combination of industry relevant job experience, internship experiences and or schoolwork/classes/research.
