I korthet

We are seeking a Staff Validation Engineer to perform pre-silicon and post-silicon validation for high-speed interface IP such as SerDes, PCIe, and Ethernet. This role involves creating, automating, and executing test plans using Python and C, analyzing data with MATLAB, and debugging complex issues across hardware and software. The ideal candidate has 5+ years of experience and a strong background in lab equipment and protocol debugging.

Ansvarsområden

  • Carry out pre-silicon and post-silicon validation for high-speed SerDes, PCIe (Gen3/4/5), and multi-speed Ethernet IP, driving real bring-up and debug on advanced silicon platforms.
  • Create, execute, and automate validation test plans using Python and C, ensuring protocol compliance, robust error handling, and peak IP performance.
  • Build SDK-driven test environments to validate firmware-controlled features and software-configurable parameters, automating regressions, stress tests, and recovery scenarios.
  • Use MATLAB to analyze simulation and silicon data, including eye diagrams, jitter, BER, and validate signal processing algorithms.
  • Debug protocol and system-level issues across hardware, RTL, firmware, and software, leveraging custom tools, internal scripts, and hands-on lab equipment.
  • Collaborate with RTL, architecture, firmware, and emulation teams to solve tough debug challenges and improve validation methodologies.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to silicon readiness reviews and customer-facing debug/support activities.

Krav

  • M.Tech or B.Tech in Electronics, Electrical, or related engineering field.
  • 5+ years hands-on experience in pre-silicon and post-silicon validation or verification of high-speed interface IP (SerDes, PCIe, or Ethernet).
  • Strong scripting and automation skills in Python; solid C programming for low-level and SDK-based validation.
  • Practical experience with MATLAB for data postprocessing, signal analysis, and algorithm validation.
  • Direct experience with lab equipment: high-speed oscilloscopes, BERTs, protocol analyzers, and custom evaluation boards.
  • Experience with protocol debug at the transaction, link, and physical layer (PCIe, Ethernet, or similar).
  • Familiarity with industry standards/specs like PCI-SIG and IEEE Ethernet is a plus.

Önskade kvalifikationer

  • Turn ambiguous failures into actionable debug plans and don’t stop until you know why something broke.
  • Automate first and ask “why are we doing this by hand?” in every validation cycle.
  • Move fluidly between scripting, lab work, and cross-team collaboration, adapting your approach to the problem at hand.
  • Explain a protocol-level bug or spec compliance gap to design, firmware, or customer teams—without losing the technical nuance.
  • Keep your test plans and analysis rooted in real-world spec compliance, not just “happy path” scenarios.
  • Lift up junior engineers, sharing your process and tools so the whole team levels up.

Förmåner

  • Comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits.
  • Total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings.
  • Salary range and benefits will be provided during the hiring process.
  • Synopsys considers all applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, military veteran status, or disability.
