System Speed and Reliability Co-Design Engineer

SCG sits at the crossroads of design, architecture, marketing, and productization-owning the journey from the architecture stage through final product definition across Gaming, Datacenter, Automotive, and Embedded markets. As a Silicon Speed Features Engineer, you will co-design system-level speed features, build the validation and automation infrastructure to characterize them, and lead debug of the complex silicon issues that stand between a program and on-time shipment. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who combines deep technical craft with the drive to compress cycle time using modern tooling-including AI-without losing rigor.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Collaborate cross-functionally with system architects, hardware, firmware/software, process/reliability, and operations teams to co-design system-level speed features and deliver industry-defining products.
• Define System level specifications, margins, bounding box constraints that satisfy design expectations and product quality.
• Provide system requirements for hardware and features affecting speed and reliability, from pre-silicon through productization.
• Translate hardware features and architectural requirements into validation techniques that achieve full coverage across testing flows.
• Perform closed loop validation by correlating silicon behavior against timing simulation and design expectations; provide actionable feedback to improve future designs.
• Define, prototype, and refine pre- and post-silicon bring-up flows to ensure product quality, performance, and schedule efficiency.
• Design and implement automation tools for system speed modeling; apply AI and LLM-assisted workflows (e.g., automated log analysis, pattern detection, scripting acceleration) to compress characterization and debug cycles.
• Architect and influence testability features critical to performance, power, and reliability in partnership with design, DFx, and ATE teams.
• Lead debug of complex silicon and system-level issues, including show-stopper defects, to enable on-time product shipment.

Do you have experience in Windows?, * MS in EE, CE, Systems Engineering, or equivalent experience.

• 4+ years of experience in a related hardware engineering role.
• Hands-on experience with silicon bring-up, frequency and power characterization, PPA analysis in pre- and post-silicon phases, System/Platform level understanding, tester-to-system correlation, and lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, multimeters, DAQs).
• Scripting proficiency in Python and/or Perl; comfortable in Windows, Linux, and Android environments.
• Familiarity with statistical methods and data analysis tools (JMP or equivalent).
• Demonstrated use of AI or LLM-based tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT) in an engineering workflow-scripting acceleration, log triage, data analysis-with clear judgment about output validation and where automation introduces risk.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• Background in gaming, automotive, or datacenter segments.
• Experience building or deploying AI-assisted characterization, log analysis, or debug automation workflows in a production silicon environment.
• Familiarity with LLM evaluation, prompt engineering, or agentic scripting pipelines applied to silicon data analysis.
