As part of Silicon Validation Team, you will focus on silicon validation, debug and root cause related to anomalous behaviors using system work-loads. (Circuit marginalities, process-design interactions, logic bugs).

Description

You will be joining a team of engineers who is responsible for validating Apple So Cs with system workloads.

• In this role, you will be working closely with functional test writers to understand high level architectures of each IP blocks within Apple So Cs and define applicable validation plans. You will then execute such system tests, through scripts/automation framework, on large volume of prototype So Cs across Process, Voltage and Temperature (PVT) corners.

• Looking for any potential issues, as well as characterizing the functional voltage (lvcc) of So Cs under such workloads. When issue occurs, you will be the first line of debugger to triage issues and isolate/bucketize failures.

• Work with domain experts to define Do Es, come up with root cause theories, and test possible workarounds. In addition, you will characterize functional voltages (lvcc) of So Cs under system workloads, analyze data across voltage domains, provide feedbacks to PE (product engineers) to define product operation voltages as well as recommend contents to testing/screening environment.

• Collaborate with downstream testing teams (SoC test teams, system test teams, etc) to facilitate resolving issues happening in their environment.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with SoC bring up.

Experience with System debug.

Computer architectures (cache, memory hierarchy, data pipelines) and logic design.

Experience with script language such as Python, Perl, or Tcl.

Minimum Qualifications

A minimum of a bachelor's degree and a minimum of 3 years of relevant industry experience in silicon validation software engineering or related field
