Silicon Validation Engineer 2

As a Silicon Design Validation Engineer at Lattice, you will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects within the Silicon Engineering team. Your primary responsibility will involve validating building blocks in FPGA on board level to ensure functionality and performance align with the design intent. This will include various IPs such as SERDES (PMA/PCS), Memory DDR (DDR4, LPDDR4, DDR5, etc.), DPHY, PLL, DSP, Fabric, and I/O components. In this role, you will develop validation and characterization plans for specific IPs, bench hardware, and software. You will also be responsible for creating test logic RTL to execute validation and characterization tests effectively. Additionally, you will play a key role in driving new silicon product bring-up, validation, and debugging processes to assess IP functionality and performance, ultimately contributing to data sheet preparation. You will collaborate closely with design, verification, manufacturing, test, quality, and marketing teams throughout the product lifecycle, from Silicon arrival to product release. Furthermore, you will provide support to address customer issues post-product release, demonstrating strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a cross-functional environment. The ideal candidate for this role should possess an Electrical Engineering degree with a strong passion for pursuing a career in Silicon Design Validation. You should have at least 2 years of experience and a solid understanding of High-Speed Serdes Interface characterization, including protocol compliance testing for interfaces like PCIe, Ethernet, SDI, CoaXpress, JESD204, MIPI D-PHY, MIPI CSI/DSI-2, USB, DisplayPort, and HDMI. Moreover, you should have knowledge in high-speed board design, signal integrity evaluation/debugging, Verilog/VHDL, FPGA development tools, and test automation using programming languages like Python and Perl. Familiarity with statistical analysis concepts, tools such as JMP and R, and bench equipment for device characterization will be beneficial. If you are a self-motivated individual with strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills, eager to work in a collaborative and challenging environment, then this role at Lattice may be the perfect opportunity for you to grow and excel in the field of Silicon Design Validation Engineering.,
