- BS or MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience), plus 8+ years in silicon bring-up, validation, debug, or productization.
- Deep fundamentals across digital development, microarchitecture, timing, clocking, power, noise, and control systems — and the ability to reason across the HW/SW boundary under real lab constraints.
- Hands-on lab proficiency: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers, and the instinct to know which instrument answers which question during a bring-up.
- Strong programming and scripting proficiency: Python, C/C++; experience building lab automation or test infrastructure that other specialists adopt and depend on — not just personal scripts.
- Proficiency in the use of AI tools to accelerate silicon validation work — automated analysis of bring-up logs, regression data, or lab instrumentation output; anomaly detection on silicon measurement datasets; or LLM-assisted debug triage. We want to understand what you built, how you validated its trustworthiness, and where you decided the measurement had to stay manual.
Ways to stand out from the crowd
- Hardware proof of crafting: debug infrastructure you built in the lab, characterization methodologies adopted across programs, build DFT feature specs or in-system test suites you developed, or margin test flows that caught issues before production.
- Proficiency in bring-up experience with GPU/SoC architecture
- Experience crafting or scaling in-system test and DFT features for production silicon, with familiarity with fault models, DPPM, and RAS.
- Build concrete examples of redesigning how a team debugs in the lab — faster triage, smarter hypothesis trees, automated measurement reporting — and the resulting increase in bring-up velocity or quality.
