Job Description:

The IC Validation team is responsible for defining, developing and utilizing test
tools to ensure that the products designed by the company meet all applicable
industry standards and operate completely in their intended applications. IC
Validation engineers work with the development of engineering departments
(hardware and software) in validating and debugging new products in a lab
environment. This team is continually working with state-of-the-art equipment on
leading edge storage silicon spanning across the pre (emulation) and post silicon
validation cycle.

Responsibilities can include:

 Construct, review, and execute robust validation test plans on emulation
platforms and prototype silicon
 Develop C/C++ based embedded firmware and or/host software tools and
applications for low level system validation
 Develop test scripts to control protocol exercisers and automate various
validation tools and equipment
 Work in parallel with the software development, FPGA Emulation, and IC
Design teams as part of the pre/post silicon validation process
 Work with the board development team on validation and reference board
designs and new product requirements
 Drive technical debug and resolution of issues encountered at the complete
system level. Propose creative workarounds and implement solutions to complex
problems.
 Work with external customers on initial silicon bring-up and system level
integration/troubleshooting
 Effectively present technical information to teams of engineers. Educate
Field Application Engineers (FAEs) on new product features and operation
 Work with the Technical Publications group on engineering notes, data
sheets, and architectural manuals

Qualifications:

embedded FW and system drivers/host applications preferred)
 Experience developing/debugging scripts written in in Python
 Working knowledge of ARM architecture and firmware programming
preferred
 Solid understanding of computer architecture and system level
operation/execution
 Practical experience in system level debug utilizing FW debuggers, logic
analyzers, and protocol analyzers.
 Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
 PCIe (Gen3/4/5) protocol experience preferred including knowledge of
LTSSM, system enumeration and configuration space format.
 Understanding of basic PCB concepts
 Ability to read and understand board level schematics
