Key Responsibilities

• Own and execute post-silicon SoC validation , including test planning, test development, bring-up, and debug.
• Validate functionality and performance of IO interfaces such as I2C/I3C, UART, GPIO, SPI .
• Develop and enhance validation scripts and automation using Perl, Ruby, Python , or similar scripting languages.
• Drive complex debug efforts using industry-standard techniques, methodologies, and structured problem-solving.
• Work hands-on with lab equipment— oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, signal generators , and other diagnostic tools—for detailed hardware-level analysis.
• Collaborate with design, architecture, firmware, and software teams to resolve silicon issues and ensure high-quality product release.
• Analyze large datasets quickly to identify failures, patterns, and root causes.
• Deliver clear and concise technical reports, documentation, and updates for internal teams and customers.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to continuous improvement of validation processes.

Required Skills & Qualifications
