Silicon​/Electrical Validation Engineer

About the Role

Join our Analog Validation team within Silicon & Platform Engineering and contribute to the validation of next‑generation CPU technologies. In this role, you will help ensure the performance, reliability, and quality of cutting‑edge processor I/O and interface technologies used in modern computing platforms. As a Silicon/Electrical Validation Engineer, you will work closely with cross‑functional engineering teams to develop validation strategies, identify and debug issues, analyze system behavior, and drive robust solutions from silicon development through high‑volume manufacturing.

• Develop and execute electrical validation plans for CPU I/O interfaces and related platform technologies.
• Create validation methodologies, test content, and automation solutions to evaluate electrical performance and functionality.
• Perform silicon and platform debugging to identify root causes and help drive corrective actions.
• Utilize lab equipment and measurement tools to characterize high‑speed electrical interfaces and system behavior.
• Develop and maintain validation scripts and automation solutions using Python.
• Collaborate with hardware, BIOS, firmware, design, manufacturing, and validation teams to resolve technical issues.
• Analyze test results and provide data‑driven recommendations to improve product quality and reliability.
• Assess electrical health across silicon, platform, and system‑level implementations.
• Support validation efforts throughout the product lifecycle, including design, pre‑silicon activities, bring‑up, characterization, qualification, and production readiness.
• Document validation methodologies, test procedures, findings, and recommendations.

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
• Curious mindset with a passion for understanding complex system behavior.
• Effective verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to collaborate across engineering disciplines and influence technical decisions.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to delivering high‑quality results.
• Demonstrated ownership and accountability.
• Ability to prioritize work in a fast‑paced environment.
• Adaptability and willingness to learn emerging technologies.
• Data‑driven decision‑making approach.
• Continuous improvement mindset.

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical/Engineering or related field with 3+ years of experience, or a Master’s degree in the same field with 1+ years of experience. You must have the years described above in 3 or more of the following:

• High speed analog and digital circuits of CPU I/O.
• Experience in mixed signal design validation RTL design and/or scripting in pre or post Si environment.
• Experience in software development demonstrated proficiency with Python or C/C++.
• Experience with hardware lab with test equipment, computer systems and/or test stations.

• High speed hardware design including schematic capturing and layout design is a plus.
• Good knowledge of signal integrity and power delivery network is a plus.
• Good knowledge of USB
  3.2, USB4, DP, HDMI, PCIe standards is a strong plus.
