Principal Silicon Validation Engineer

Job Qualification Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering (or related).12+ years of experience in semiconductor validation (analog), product engineering, or silicon debug.Strong hands-on background in:MCU architecturesEmbedded systemsLab bring-up and silicon debug tools (JTAG, logic analyzers, scopes, etc.)Proven ability to lead large, distributed engineering teams.Excellent communication and executive presence. Job Responsibilities Define validation plans for MCU/MPU subsystems (CPU, memory, peripherals, interconnects).Develop test cases and coverage metrics based on architecture and design specs.Identify corner cases, stress scenarios, and system-level use cases. Silicon & Pre-Silicon Validation Perform post-silicon validation on silicon platforms, evaluation boards, and emulators.Support pre-silicon validation/emulation efforts where required.Debug issues across hardwaresoftware boundary. Test Development & Automation Develop validation test suites using C/C++, Python, or scripting languages.Build automation frameworks for regression and validation flows.Create scripts for data capture, logging, and analysis. Hardware/Firmware Debug Perform low-level debugging using tools such as:JTAG, SWDLogic analyzers, oscilloscopesTrace tools (ETM, ITM)Root cause failures across:CPU cores (ARM/RISC-V)Memory subsystems (DDR, SRAM, Flash)Peripherals (UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO, etc.) Cross-Functional Collaboration Work with:RTL design teams (for bug fixes and clarifications)Verification teams (for coverage gap closure)Firmware/software teams (for test enablement)Review architecture and design specifications.
