Lead Post-Silicon Validation Engineer

Location: Bengaluru, India

Experience: 8–15 Years

About the Role

We are looking for a Lead Post-Silicon Validation Engineer to drive validation of complex ARM-based SoCs powering next-generation AI, mobile, automotive, and data-center platforms .

In this role, you will be responsible for silicon bring-up, debug, and validation of ARM-based SoCs , working closely with architecture, design, firmware, and pre-silicon verification teams to ensure first-silicon success . You will lead validation strategy, root-cause complex silicon issues, and help optimize performance, power, and reliability.

This role requires strong expertise in ARM SoC architecture, silicon debug methodologies, and system-level validation .

What You’ll Do

Minimum Qualifications

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with ARM AMBA protocols (AXI, ACE, CHI) .
Exposure to high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, or CXL .
Experience with boot flows, firmware bring-up, and low-level drivers .

About Us:

Silicon Patterns is a specialized engineering services company with deep expertise in pre-silicon and post-silicon design and verification. We deliver end-to-end semiconductor and embedded system solutions covering RTL Design, SystemC Modeling, Emulation, Design Verification (DV), Physical Design (PD), Design for Testability (DFT), and Pre- & Post-silicon Validation — helping clients achieve faster, more reliable product development. Headquartered in Hyderabad, with offices in Bangalore and Raipur, and supported by our skilled engineering teams in Malaysia, we serve global clients through flexible engagement models like Time & Materials (T&M), Offshore Development Centers (ODC), Subcontracting, and Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT). Our expertise spans VLSI and Embedded Systems, with a strong focus on Wireless, IoT, and Automotive domains. We also work on advanced technologies including HBM3/3E workloads, AI/ML, GenAI/LLMs, and edge computing. At Silicon Patterns, we’re committed not only to technical excellence but also to maintaining a strong work-life balance for our teams because great engineering starts with well-supported people.
