Post-Silicon Validation Engineer

Role Summary

We are looking for a Post-Silicon Validation Engineer to support the validation of an advanced mixed-signal automotive SoC. The role focuses on validating electrical connectivity, data integrity, and basic functional behavior at system level. You will work hands-on in a laboratory environment, developing automated validation solutions and executing structured validation campaigns across process, voltage and temperature (PVT) conditions.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute post-silicon validation activities for IP integration at SoC level.
• Validate electrical connectivity, signal integrity, and data correctness across integrated interfaces.
• Perform basic functional validation of digital and mixed-signal IPs in the system context.
• Characterize digital interfaces.
• Validate PLLs, ADCs, sensors, and internal system clocks, including timing, jitter, and duty cycle.
• Conduct electrical compliance measurements, including voltage levels, eye diagrams, and timing margins.
• Execute validation campaigns across different PVT conditions, temperatures, voltages, corners, and samples.
• Develop and maintain automated test frameworks using Python or C#.
• Debug silicon issues using laboratory equipment and structured problem-solving methods.
• Collaborate with design and verification teams to identify and resolve integration issues.
• Ensure proper documentation and traceability of validation activities.

Required Qualifications

• BSc or MSc in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in post-silicon validation or hardware validation.
• Hands-on laboratory experience with oscilloscopes, SMUs, DMMs, and measurement setups.
• Experience with test automation using Python or C#.
• Good understanding of signal integrity, timing, and measurement fundamentals.
• Structured debugging and problem-solving mindset.
• Ability to work in cross-functional engineering environments.

Nice to Have

• Experience with PXI-based test systems.
• Experience in automotive semiconductor projects.
• Familiarity with PLL characterization and high-speed interfaces such as Aurora (A-PHY), MIPI (D-PHY), Ethernet, SPI, I2C, FD-CAN, UART (LinFlex), OSPI, and GPIO.
• Understanding of validation methodologies, coverage, and traceability.
• Exposure to ISO or quality-driven engineering environments.

Tools and Environment

• Oscilloscopes, SMUs, DMMs, and PXI-based systems.
• Hardware validation benches and automated test setups.
• Software-based automation using Python and C#.

Deliverables and Success Metrics

• Develop and maintain structured validation test plans.
• Implement automated test programs with measurable coverage.
• Produce clear and traceable validation reports.
• Ensure execution of validation campaigns across PVT conditions.
• Maintain alignment between test plan, test execution, and documented results.
• Contribute to scalable and reusable validation infrastructure.
