Post-Silicon Validation Engineer - Automotive SoC

About the role

A hands-on Post-Silicon Validation Engineer is sought to validate an advanced mixed-signal automotive System-on-Chip. The work takes place in a laboratory, directly on silicon, and involves building automated test solutions, characterizing digital and mixed-signal interfaces and investigating system-level integration issues. The engineer works closely with design, verification and system engineering teams to turn measurement results into clear technical conclusions.

Key responsibilities

• Plan and execute post-silicon validation at SoC level
• Validate electrical connectivity, signal integrity, data integrity and system functionality
• Characterize interfaces such as MIPI D-PHY, Aurora A-PHY, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, CAN FD, UART, OSPI and GPIO
• Measure and evaluate PLLs, system clocks, ADCs and sensors
• Perform electrical measurements including voltage levels, timing margins, jitter, duty cycle and eye diagrams
• Run structured validation campaigns across process, voltage and temperature conditions
• Develop reusable test automation using Python or C#
• Debug silicon and system-integration issues using laboratory equipment
• Document test coverage, results and findings with clear traceability
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify and resolve design and integration issues

Required profile

• BSc or MSc in Electrical Engineering, Electronics or a related field
• At least three years of experience in post-silicon or hardware validation
• Structured approach to debugging and problem-solving
• Ability to collaborate effectively across engineering disciplines

Required skills

• Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, SMUs, DMMs and laboratory measurement setups
• Understanding of digital and mixed-signal interfaces
• Experience with Python or C# for test automation
• Knowledge of signal integrity, timing and electrical measurements
• Nice to have: PXI-based test systems, automotive semiconductor development, PLL characterization, coverage and traceability knowledge, and ISO-based quality-driven engineering experience
