Interconnect IP Post Silicon Debug Engineer

Our client is seeking an engineer for a highly visible position responsible for silicon enablement for one or more products, ensuring performance and power efficiencies with a focus on time-to-market. The role involves working with scalable coherent interconnects used across multiple product segments, including server, desktop, graphics, custom products, and deep learning solutions., * Work closely with architecture, micro-architecture, performance, and design verification teams to understand new features, arrive at efficient routing configurations, finalize settings, and formulate new silicon test requirements.

• Engage with post-silicon product, platform, validation, and diagnostic development teams to describe and ensure stressing of all new or important design features.
• Engage with firmware, software, and modeling teams, deliver initialization and configuration settings, and ensure their correctness.
• Develop debug experiments, tests, and triggers to root-cause functional, performance, and power observations related to the interconnect IP in post-silicon, working with hardware and software teams to explore possible alternate solutions or workarounds.
• Collaborate in post-silicon power and performance tuning efforts.
• Contribute to the development of scalable debug tools.
• Propose and drive Design-For-Debug requirements to the micro-architecture team to aid debug of future designs.
• Participate in discussions on next-generation design ideas, providing feedback based on silicon findings and evolving software usage models.

• Passion for working on innovative sophisticated computing systems.
• Self-starter who enjoys finding better and faster ways to solve daring problems.
• Highly organized, able to prioritize, and balance multiple workstreams with attention to detail., * Strong background in computer architecture/microarchitecture, interrupts, memory ordering, MMU, caches, and coherency concepts.
• Good understanding of VLSI logic design concepts and power/performance tradeoffs.
• Good programming skills in Python, C, Ruby, or Perl.
• Familiarity with hardware description languages like Verilog or VHDL.
• Comfortable with using lab equipment like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.
• System debug experience and post-silicon system validation experience a plus.
