Principal Silicon Validation Engineer

Job Qualification: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in   Electrical/Electronics/Computer   Engineering (or related). 12+ years of experience in semiconductor validation (analog), product engineering, or silicon debug. Strong hands-on background in: MCU architectures Embedded systems Lab bring-up and silicon debug tools (JTAG, logic analyzers, scopes, etc.)

Proven ability to lead large, distributed engineering teams. Excellent communication and executive presence.

Job Responsibilities: Define   validation plans   for MCU/MPU subsystems (CPU, memory, peripherals, interconnects). Develop   test cases and coverage metrics   based on architecture and design specs. Identify corner cases, stress scenarios, and system-level use cases. Silicon & Pre-Silicon Validation Perform   post-silicon validation   on silicon platforms, evaluation boards, and emulators. Support   pre-silicon validation/emulation   efforts where required. Debug issues across hardware–software boundary. Test Development & Automation Develop   validation test suites   using C/C++, Python, or scripting languages. Build   automation frameworks   for regression and validation flows. Create scripts for data capture, logging, and analysis. Hardware/Firmware Debug Perform   low-level debugging   using tools such as: JTAG, SWD Logic analyzers, oscilloscopes Trace tools (ETM, ITM)

Root cause failures across: CPU cores (ARM/RISC-V) Memory subsystems (DDR, SRAM, Flash) Peripherals (UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO, etc.)

Cross-Functional Collaboration Work with: RTL design teams (for bug fixes and clarifications) Verification teams (for coverage gap closure) Firmware/software teams (for test enablement)

Review architecture and design specifications.
