At Cadence, the business problem is to develop and integrate complex multi-rack systems, and to bridge and gate-keep the full integration, validation, and characterization of ASIC, HW/PCB, SW, FW, and FPGA subsystems in the whole development cycle.
Requirements
- Fluent in at least one functional scripting language, preferably but not limited to Python. Other languages are plus.
- Experience with embedded software/firmware, operating systems, and/or HW/SW interfaces is a plus
- Experience in developing, maintaining and operating automated engineering processes is a big plus.
Responsibilities
- Leverage silicon verification platform and environment to create necessary post-silicon infrastructure, methodology and automation to allow tests executed in a timely and efficient manner.
- Integrate silicon, HW, firmware, and system software into a complete system which includes various InfiniBand and PCIe protocols, PXE booting, virtual machines, secure networks, Ethernet and Ethernet-over-Infiniband, sockets and RPC calls, FPGA, microcontroller interfaces, JTAG, I2C, SPI, SERDES, memory and many other interfaces.
- Execute post-silicon tests to expose design issues, validate product against the specifications including performance, and qualify the design for production release.
- Review, replicate, and respond to customer issues. Perform initial analysis of error logs from customer design simulation runs. Debug and isolate system-level issues down to ASIC/FPGAs, host servers, subsystems, firmware modules, runtime diagnostics.
- Develop silicon and system stress tests. Leverage tests developed by other engineers. Package tests for production and field use.
- Define, develop and drive the implementation of validation automation environment.
Other
- BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills, self-motivated and ability to work with cross-functions teams around the globe.
- Ability to work with cross-functions teams around the globe
- Paid vacation and paid holidays, 401(k) plan with employer match, employee stock purchase plan, a variety of medical, dental and vision plan options, and more.
