This role involves close collaboration with pre-silicon, firmware, software, and manufacturing teams to identify and debug silicon issues, improve test coverage, and ensure the CPU meets design specifications and quality standards.


Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and execute comprehensive post-silicon validation plans and test cases for CPU hardware.
  • Perform functional, performance, power, and reliability testing on silicon prototypes.
  • Collaborate with design, verification, firmware, and software teams to debug silicon issues using tools such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, JTAG, and embedded trace.
  • Analyze test failures, generate detailed bug reports, and drive issues to closure.
  • Develop automation scripts and tools to enhance test coverage and efficiency.
  • Validate CPU features including cores, caches, memory subsystems, interconnects, and power management.
  • Support bring-up and production ramp of silicon with manufacturing and yield teams.
  • Provide feedback to pre-silicon teams to improve design and verification quality.
  • Document test plans, methodologies, and validation results.
  • Stay current with CPU architecture, industry standards, and validation methodologies.

Primary Skills
  • Strong understanding of CPU microarchitecture and components (cores, caches, memory controllers, interconnects).
  • Experience with post-silicon validation methodologies and tools.
  • Proficiency in hardware debugging tools (logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, JTAG).
  • Strong scripting skills in Python, Perl, TCL, or similar languages.
  • Familiarity with embedded software/firmware and low-level software debugging.
  • Knowledge of performance and power analysis techniques.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Secondary Skills
  • Ability to analyze complex hardware issues and collaborate across multiple teams.
  • Experience working in cross-functional environments.
  • Exposure to system-level validation and integration.
  • Understanding of silicon bring-up and production ramp processes.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
  • Experience with CPU or SoC post-silicon validation.
  • Exposure to CPU pre-silicon verification methodologies.
  • Familiarity with CPU instruction set architectures (ISA) such as x86, ARM, RISC-V.
  • Knowledge of manufacturing test and yield improvement.
  • Experience working in Agile or Scrum development environments.
