The Role

We are looking for a highly motivated HSIO Functional Validation Engineer to join our team. This role focuses on system-level validation of High-Speed IO (HSIO) protocols and developing debug tools. The ideal candidate will have a strong blend of hardware understanding and software development expertise to build scalable debug and analysis tools that support validation and bring-up of complex IO subsystems in post-silicon environments.

This individual will work closely with design, firmware, and platform validation teams to develop test infrastructure, enable protocol compliance testing, and support debug during critical validation phases. A strong technical expertise in HSIO validation such as PCIe and Ethernet, combined with proven software development and hands-on debug experience are essential for success in this role.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, deploy, and maintain system-level debug and validation tools tailored for HSIO protocols (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet).
• Collaborate with design and validation teams to define functional validation test plans and debug hooks.
• Execute validation for HSIO features in post-silicon environments, including silicon bring-up, protocol compliance, and stress testing.
• Build automated validation frameworks and scripting tools to support large-scale test execution and data analysis.
• Conduct root-cause analysis for HSIO functional issues and support cross-functional debug efforts.
• Analyze protocol traces and signal integrity data using industry-standard tools (e.g., protocol analyzers, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes).
• Integrate validation tools into system firmware and validation flows for scalability and reuse across platforms.
• Provide feedback to design and architecture teams to improve debuggability and testability.
• Provide root-cause analysis and guidance to internal and customer design teams to help in issue closure.
• A self-starter required and able to deal with a high level of ambiguity.
• Work with cross-functional teams to improve post-silicon validation test quality, strategy, methodology, and process.
