THE ROLE:

The Silicon Validation, Infrastructure, and Platform group plays a key role in the development of test systems and hardware for test & characterization of our advanced device families. Our most recent project has been for the ground-breaking Versal Adaptable Computing Acceleration Platform (ACAP), with quad core ARM processing system and programmable logic.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

We are looking for a Systems Design Engineer to join the System-level Test team in San Jose. You will be involved in the silicon life cycle from testing of emulated next-generation RTL through to silicon validation. You will have a view of the full system but also will become an expert in certain IP down to the register-level. We are looking for someone who can span the range of able to develop device drivers in software to debug on hardware.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities:

• Enhance existing test software for system-level validation and verification of existing and new FPGA features.
• Work with multiple teams to drive system-level bugs to resolution.
• Design, develop, implement, test, and verify systems based on AMD/Xilinx FPGAs with embedded MicroBlaze or ARM processors.
• Provide feedback on architecture, use cases, IP design, tools, and documentation.
• Determine design approaches and parameters to build complete systems for emulation, verification, validation and benchmarking of new silicon features at a system level.
• Help to develop novel methods for system-level modeling and verification.
