Hardware - Silicon Validation Team Lead (NPU SoC)

Highlights

• Lead 1st silicon bring-up for NPU SoC from boot to commercialization.
• Bridge hardware and software to debug complex system-level issues.
• Shape next-gen AI compute with RNGD in mass production today.

Ideal candidate

A persistent system-level problem solver who thrives bridging hardware and software, leading bring-up from first boot to stable product while mentoring engineers and driving rigorous validation methodology.

Requirements

• SoC/ASIC or complex silicon/system validation experience with team leading or equivalent senior experience
• Strong understanding of ARM architecture, AMBA bus (AXI, AHB) and SoC/computer architecture
• Embedded C/C++ and Rust for hardware control and IP test in bare-metal environments
• Systematic validation methodology from test plan and coverage to bug tracking
• HW/SW co-debugging with JTAG debuggers such as Trace32
• Lead validation roadmap planning and cross-functional collaboration across Design, DV, Firmware, Software and QA
• Mentor engineers and establish systematic validation processes
