FPGA Post Silicon Validation Engineer

Job Details:

Job Description: Join our Silicon Validation team and contribute to the development and enablement of next‑generation FPGA devices. As a new graduate engineer, you will support validation activities focused on FPGA configuration flows , device security features , or the Hard Processor System (HPS) . You will gain hands‑on experience working with FPGA silicon, configuration interfaces, secure boot flows, and embedded systems while collaborating closely with cross‑functional design, architecture, and software teams. This role offers strong learning opportunities and exposure to real silicon behavior, validation methodologies, and the technologies that enable reliable and secure FPGA operation. Key Responsibilities 🔹 FPGA Configuration Assist in validating FPGA configuration architectures, including JTAG, Passive Serial, Active Serial, and other configuration interfaces. Develop test content, scripts, and automation to verify configuration modes, boot flows, failure recovery, and configuration robustness. Perform silicon bring-up, debug configuration issues, and collaborate with design/architecture teams to resolve defects. 🔹 Security Features Contribute to validation of FPGA security technologies such as secure boot, authentication, encryption, and key management. Execute security test plans covering secure configuration flows, tamper scenarios, and access‑control mechanisms. Support root‑cause analysis for security‑related issues and help improve test coverage and documentation. 🔹 Hard Processor System (HPS) Support testing of HPS boot flows, firmware loading, peripheral initialization, and FPGA‑to‑HPS interactions. Work with software teams on debugging U‑Boot/Linux boot processes and validating communication between HPS and FPGA fabric. Assist in evaluating performance, stability, and robustness of HPS features on development boards and silicon platforms

Qualifications

Qualifications Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. Knowledge or coursework related to FPGA architecture, embedded systems, digital logic, or SoC design. Familiarity with configuration interfaces, embedded processors, or security fundamentals (advantage). Basic understanding of programming/scripting languages such as Python, C, or Verilog (advantage). Strong analytical thinking, willingness to learn, and interest in hardware bring‑up and system‑level debug.
