Job Description

We are looking for a Hardware Validation Engineer with strong hands-on experience in hardware board bring-up, post-silicon validation, and hardware debugging.

The engineer will support pre-silicon and post-silicon validation activities, including prototype board bring-up, power validation, silicon validation, and debugging of hardware interfaces.

The ideal candidate should have experience validating hardware platforms, testing power circuits, debugging board-level issues, and working with low-speed interfaces such as I2C, SPI, and UART.

Responsibilities

  • Perform hardware board bring-up and debug prototype validation boards.
  • Execute pre-silicon and post-silicon validation activities.
  • Perform board-level and silicon-level power validation.
  • Validate power rails, voltage regulators, and power management circuits.
  • Debug hardware issues using lab equipment and engineering methodologies.
  • Validate low-speed interfaces including I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, and related protocols.
  • Analyze failures, perform root cause analysis, and provide debug reports.
  • Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and silicon engineering teams.
  • Develop basic automation scripts using Python for validation and testing.

Required Skills

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in Hardware Validation / Silicon Validation.
  • Strong experience with Hardware Board Bring-Up and Debugging.
  • Experience with Pre-Silicon and Post-Silicon Validation.
  • Experience with Power Validation at board and silicon level.
  • Experience validating hardware interfaces:
    • I2C
    • SPI
    • UART
    • GPIO
  • Experience with hardware debugging and lab validation.
  • Basic Python scripting/automation experience.
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience with PDVT / EDVT validation.
  • Experience with semiconductor or processor platforms.
  • Experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other lab equipment.
  • Experience working with embedded hardware systems.
