Job Description Seeking a technically strong and proactive Post-Silicon System Validation / Functional Validation Engineer to drive the planning, execution, and debug of system-level validation of IP and SoC/MCU designs. This role is critical in verifying functional correctness, feature compliance, performance, and robustness of silicon devices across use cases, voltage/temperature corners, and real application conditions. Key Responsibilities: Execute post‑silicon system and functional validation of automotive SoCs/MCUs to ensure functional correctness, robustness, and performance. Own feature‑level validation plans, test strategies, and coverage matrices aligned with architecture and design specifications. Execute validation of boot flows, power/clock/reset, memory subsystems, interconnects, and interfaces across stress, corner, and fault scenarios. Drive system bring‑up on evaluation boards, emulation/FPGA platforms, and silicon validation setups. Develop and maintain test firmware, diagnostics, automation scripts, and stress tools to exercise system features. Perform hands‑on silicon debug and root‑cause analysis, working closely with design, DV, firmware, and software teams to drive closure. Analyse validation data and logs, track issues through structured closure, and contribute to quality metrics. Support escape‑prevention efforts by identifying coverage gaps, corner cases, and robustness risks. Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance within the validation team. Contribute to validation readiness reports, risk assessments, and release signoff inputs. Qualifications Required skills and Qualification: B.E./B. Tech or M.E./M. Tech in Electronics, Electrical, or Computer Engineering. 3 to 12 years of experience in post-silicon validation, system validation, or embedded SoC bring-up. Strong understanding of SoC architecture, ARM cores (A/M series), peripherals, power/clock/reset, and low-power design techniques. Experience validating high-speed interfaces (e.g., DDR, USB, PCIe, MIPI, Ethernet) and standard protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, etc.). Proficiency in C/C++ or embedded programming for firmware development and test automation. Hands-on experience with lab tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers, thermal sensors). Familiarity with validation frameworks, debug utilities (JTAG, Lauterbach, OpenOCD), and issue tracking systems (JIRA, Bugzilla). Strong leadership, communication, and collaboration skills. Experience with AI frameworks for SoC Validation efficiency and quality gain— eg validation specific AI agents, Cody AI for content development etc. Preferred Ability to work effectively in a multicultural, cross-functional environment. Familiarity with automotive technical trends. Self-starter with a proactive mindset and strong analytical and strategic thinking capabilities. Experience in validation of (Neural Processing Unit) or AI accelerator HW functionality on SoC.
