• Run, triage, and maintain silicon system regressions to ensure reliable validation coverage.
• Execute validation test plans for SoC features and subsystems across functional, electrical, and/or power/performance areas.
• Report results of silicon system regressions, including clear summaries of outcomes, risks, and next steps.
• Analyze test results to identify, isolate, and debug issues using appropriate debugging tools and methods.
• Review and validate system updates made by other teams to confirm expected behavior and performance.

• 3+ years of hands‑on, engineering‑level experience in silicon validation, testing, or debugging (technician‑only profiles are not a fit).
• Demonstrated validation experience in one or more areas: PCIe, CXL, IO, endpoints (network/storage), power management, and/or BIOS/FW development and debug.
• Engineering‑level knowledge of high‑speed IO interfaces and system‑level validation principles, including SoC subsystem, SoC system‑level, and platform‑level functionality.
• Proficiency with scripting/software development using industry‑standard languages such as Python or C/C++ (and some knowledge of Verilog is a plus).
• Experience with hardware and software debug tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, BERT, and related validation equipment; strong problem‑solving and communication skills.

Work on state‑of‑the‑art compute silicon that supports cloud infrastructure.

Own meaningful validation outcomes by running and maintaining silicon system regressions end‑to‑end.

Strengthen your debugging and analytical skills through real‑time triage and issue isolation.

Collaborate with cross‑functional teams by reviewing system updates and validating expected behavior.
