System Validation Engineer

About This Role

• In this role, as a system validation engineer, you will: Defines, develops, and performs functional validation for Thunderbolt technology which involves multiple protocols and system level features.
• Engage from early stages of the product to define HW/FW hooks for validation, develop validation methodologies, validation test plans, execute validation plans and collaboration with other engineers for design optimization troubleshooting, and failure analysis.
• Perform FPGA and Silicon debug to identify root causes and resolves all functional failures.
• Understand all the stack from HW/FW, driver and OS in order validate all the system-level flows.
• Applies various hardware and software level tools and techniques to ensure validation coverage of the product.
• Publishes validation reports summarizing all validation activities performed, reviews results, and communicates to relevant teams.
• Works with architecture, design, verification, board, platform, and manufacturing teams to maintain and improve debug, validation test strategy, methodologies, and processes for SoC interfaces and to meet desired product specifications.
• Develops content to create or increase specific IP interactions using a variety of tools and techniques (including patching techniques using microcode, firmware, or custom OS builds).
• Engages in all phases of the product life cycle and develops and validates content, infrastructure, and bug hunts in multiple environments (e.g., simulation, emulation, FPGAs) to ensure silicon readiness.
