Experience: 5+ yrs
Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
Job Type: Full-time
We are looking for an experienced Post Silicon Validation Engineer to join our semiconductor engineering team and validate cutting-edge silicon products from bring-up through production readiness. This role is ideal for professionals with strong expertise in DDR Validation, JTAG, Oscilloscopes, and I2C, along with a deep understanding of post-silicon debugging, hardware validation, and system-level testing.
As a Post Silicon Validation Engineer, you will be responsible for validating silicon functionality, executing comprehensive test plans, identifying hardware and firmware issues, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure product quality and performance. You will play a key role in delivering reliable, production-ready silicon by performing detailed root-cause analysis and driving issue resolution throughout the validation lifecycle.
Requirements
Key Responsibilities
Develop, execute, and maintain post-silicon validation plans for complex semiconductor devices and SoCs
Perform DDR validation, memory subsystem testing, and signal integrity verification to ensure reliable system performance
Utilize JTAG tools for device bring-up, debugging, and hardware diagnostics during silicon validation
Operate and interpret measurements from oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and other laboratory equipment to investigate hardware behavior
Validate communication interfaces including I2C, SPI, UART, PCIe, USB, and other standard protocols as applicable
Perform board-level bring-up, hardware characterization, functional verification, and performance benchmarking
Debug silicon, firmware, and hardware issues by conducting systematic root-cause analysis and collaborating with design, firmware, and manufacturing teams
Design and automate validation test cases, scripts, and regression suites to improve test coverage and engineering productivity
Analyze validation results, document defects, and track issues through closure while ensuring timely resolution
Collaborate with RTL, design verification, firmware, hardware, and product engineering teams throughout the product development lifecycle
Create and maintain detailed validation reports, test documentation, and technical specifications
Support production readiness, qualification activities, and continuous improvement initiatives by identifying opportunities to enhance validation methodologies and processes
What Makes You a Great Fit
5+ years of experience in Post Silicon Validation, hardware validation, or semiconductor product validation
Strong hands-on expertise in DDR Validation, JTAG debugging, Oscilloscopes, and I2C protocol validation
Experience with silicon bring-up, board-level debugging, and hardware characterization
Proficiency in using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and JTAG debuggers
Solid understanding of high-speed interfaces, memory subsystems, embedded systems, and digital hardware architectures
Experience developing validation plans, automated test scripts, and regression frameworks
Strong debugging, analytical, and root-cause analysis skills with the ability to resolve complex silicon and hardware issues
Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python, Shell, or Perl for validation automation is an advantage
Excellent collaboration and communication skills with the ability to work effectively across hardware, firmware, design, and validation teams
Self-driven mindset with a strong focus on quality, ownership, and delivering reliable, production-ready semiconductor products in a fast-paced engineering environment
