## Description

We are looking for a Senior ASIC Diagnostics Engineer to drive post-silicon bring-up, debug, and validation of next-generation high-performance ASICs. This role focuses on building diagnostic infrastructure, automation frameworks, and debug tools to validate ASIC functionality across SERDES, high-speed interfaces, and packet processing pipelines., * Develop diagnostics for early silicon validation and debug

 * Lead bring-up of ASIC silicon on characterization and validation platforms
 * Validate power, reset, and clocking sequences, along with register access and initialization flows
 * Design and build Python-based diagnostic frameworks for register access, configuration management, and test orchestration; convert debug procedures into automated test flows
 * Develop diagnostics for SERDES links (training, BER, eye margining), Ethernet, PCIe, and UCIe / chiplet interfaces
 * Use SDKs and internal tools to generate traffic, verify data path correctness, and validate counters and statistics
 * Integrate and correlate behavior across RTL verification, emulation platforms, and silicon; develop correlation tools and methodologies
 * Perform deep debug across ASIC logic, interfaces, and firmware interactions; isolate functional mismatches, timing/clocking issues, and protocol failures
 * Develop automated diagnostics and integrate into regression frameworks and continuous validation pipelines
