Job Details
Job Description:
Join our highperformance
Silicon Validation team and play a critical role in enabling
robust FPGA configuration, security, and HPS subsystems for nextgeneration FPGA and SoC devices. You will lead
devicelevel and IPlevel validation of FPGA configuration flows, secure boot and rootoftrust features, and HPS components to ensure industryleading
security, reliability, and system integrity.
This role offers handson exposure to
secure FPGA architectures, SoC bringup, embedded processors, and systemlevel debug, while collaborating closely with architecture, design, firmware, and platform teams to influence future secure FPGA products.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop comprehensive validation strategies for FPGA configuration, security, and HPS subsystems, aligned with device architecture, security requirements, and business objectives.
- Validate FPGA configuration flows across multiple modes, including poweron reset behavior, cold/warm configuration, partial reconfiguration, and recovery scenarios.
- Perform security feature validation, including secure boot, authentication, encryption, key management, rootoftrust, and protection against misconfiguration or unauthorized access.
- Validate HPS functionality and integration, including boot flows, reset sequencing, clocking, memory interfaces, and FPGAHPS interaction.
- Create and execute test cases and vectors for configuration robustness, security corner cases, fault injection, and negative testing scenarios.
- Perform device and system bringup, debugging configuration failures, security violations, boot hangs, and HPStoFPGA interface issues across silicon revisions.
- Work with evaluation boards, reference platforms, and customerlike systems to ensure interoperability and realworld usage coverage.
- Drive innovation in validation methodologies, automation, and infrastructure, improving test coverage, scalability, and efficiency for future FPGA and SoC generations.
- Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and board design teams on configuration and securityready evaluation platforms, influencing observability and debug capability.
Qualifications
What You Bring
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
- 8+ years of handson silicon validation experience, with strong focus on FPGA configuration, security, SoC, or embedded processor subsystems.
- Solid understanding of FPGA configuration architectures, including configuration memories, bitstream management, and recovery mechanisms.
- Strong knowledge of hardware security concepts, such as secure boot, authentication, encryption, key storage, lifecycle states, and threat modeling.
- Experience validating HPS / embedded processor subsystems, including boot loaders, reset/clock sequencing, memory bringup, and hardwaresoftware interaction.
- Handson experience with systemlevel validation and debug, including poweron bringup, failure analysis, and silicon issue triage.
- Familiarity with FPGA and SoC architectures (strong advantage).
- Experience or familiarity with Python for automation, scripting, and test infrastructure; Verilog familiarity is a plus.
