THE ROLE:
The client is looking for a lead systems engineer to provide thought leadership and subject matter expertise to our growing team.
As a key contributor, you will have a strong technical background to contribute to all aspects of the post-silicon development process. We have competitive benefit packages and an award-winning culture.
The client team is seeking an energetic, dynamic, experienced IP Systems Engineer to join our growing team.
We work with customers to develop new products, previously including game consoles.
As an IP Systems Engineer, you will drive the planning, post-silicon execution, silicon bring-up and debug of the client processor and graphics based systems while working closely with internal teams to meet product development milestones.
As a key contributor to the success of the client 's IP, you will be part of a leading team that drives and enhances the client 's abilities to deliver industry leading technologies to our customers.
The Systems Engineering team encourages technical innovation to showcase successes, provides opportunities to develop technical knowledge, and facilitates career development.
This role specifically focuses on development and validation of external bus connections and peripherals in the SOC design.
There is a need for extra leadership capabilities and teambuilding skills, working across team boundaries and geographical locations.
This role also requires a broad knowledge of the system design lifecycle, spanning across pre-silicon into post-silicon validation.
THE PERSON:
You are a highly motivated hands-on leader with a strong development background, problem solving mentality, excellent communication skills, ability to prioritize tasks along with willingness to learn and adapt.
Excellent teamwork skills and capability to lead a highly technical team is crucial
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Participate in systems design development throughout entire product lifecycle, from pre-silicon and emulation through post-silicon and software integration.
Lead technical presentations demonstrating a good understanding of hardware architecture and expertise in systems design
Collaborate with Design, Software, Tools and other teams to drive the definition of testing and debug methodologies to provide the best possible coverage and customer experience for the client IP.
Work with Program Leadership team to define the end to end plan and highlight possible risk areas and address concerns during planning.
Be a leader and mentor to the operation team; be hands-on and lead by example
Isolation and debug of issues found in southbridge and peripheral during pre-silicon, bring-up, validation, and production phases of S3 products
Able to proactively support team culture that fosters knowledge sharing, excellence, and collaboration
Defining and executing validation strategies, enablement of features and unit test plans
Publishing and aligning test plan requirements and dependencies
Working closely with supporting teams such as design, diagnostics, driver, and project leadership
Lead cross-functional technical discussions to drive root cause identification and resolution on technical issues
Driving and participating in technical innovations to enhance the client ’s validation capabilities including tool and script developments, technical and methodology enhancements
REQUIREMENTS:
In-depth knowledge of SOC architecture and concepts
In-depth knowledge of southbridge technology
Experience with FPGA and other hardware emulation platforms for pre-silicon debug
Strong understanding of BIOS, OS, and driver-level interactions and common failure points
Good understanding of Boot Flows/Sequences
In-depth knowledge of system peripherals such as PCIe, NVMe, USB, I2C, UFS, SATA, SPI,UART and other data bus connections
Experience with common lab equipment, computer hardware, and networks
Led process improvement initiatives to improve engineering quality
Strong technical leadership and mentoring skills
Knowledge of standard power management features and use-cases
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
Minimum 5-6 years of experience in pre and post-silicon validation and 8-10 years experience in semiconductor industry
Demonstrated ability to grasp new technical concepts quickly
Hardware description languages (e.g. Verilog)
Strong programming/scripting skills (e.g. Python, C/C++, Ruby)
Experience with IP/System level bring-up, SOC debug techniques and methodologies
Strong analytical/problem solving skills and pronounced attention to details
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Self-starter, strong collaborator, and able to independently drive tasks to completion
Strong organizational skills and ability to handle multiple issues at the same time
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related field strongly preferred
Note :
Austin : Hybrid preferred but Remote may work for a good candidate.
