Senior Mixed Signal Validation and Debug Engineer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · Bangalore, India

Senior Mixed Signal Validation and Debug Engineer responsible for developing leadership IPs for Server, Client, Networking SOCs and Intel Foundry Customers. The role involves pre-silicon to post-silicon IP characterization, test plan generation using AI driven tools and Python scripting, SOC board design reviews, Signal and Power Integrity simulations, and hands-on debug of IP related issues. Requires BS/MS/PhD in EE/CE and 6+ years of experience in post-silicon validation and debug of serial or parallel IOs, with proficiency in lab hardware and software.

What you'd actually do

  1. Work closely with SOC customers and IP design teams to provide pre silicon to post silicon IP design characterizations, generating the test plans and test contents using AI driven tools and pythonSV scripting, SOC board design reviews and recommendations, Signal and Power Integrity simulations and post silicon debugs etc.
  2. Represent the IP team during SOC Power Ons for test chips and products and provide hands on IP enabling support
  3. Identify IP related silicon issues, investigate, debug and disposition customer bugs/sightings in a timely manner.
  4. Carry out pre silicon and post silicon reproduction of the issue and work towards to root cause with failure analysis etc...
