We are currently seeking a Senior candidate for the position to perform as SoC Debug Engineer for Server/Compute/Mobile chipsets.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead Bring up, debug, analyze failures at the embedded platform level in both pre-Si and post-Si phase.
- RTL inspection and dive in required to root cause pre-si debug and JTAG and Si exposure to root cause post-si issues.
- Lead on initiatives for faster debug at the platform level including isolating failing components of a system.
- Creating and leading debug strategies and plans for partners to more rapidly triage failures to isolate specific components including PVT and marginality issues.
- Perform real-time debugging and troubleshooting of server hardware, including motherboards, processors, memory, storage devices, power supplies, and networking components.
- Investigate manufacturing defects, determine root causes, and implement corrective actions to improve product quality and reliability.
Minimum Qualifications:
- 6+ years of experience with pre-si and post-silicon enabling, bring-up, analyze failures at the embedded platform level.
- RTL inspection and understanding of basic RTL.
- Experience solving complex debug in pre-si and post-si phases.
- Lead the effort to develop and implement solutions for faster debug at the platform level including isolating failing components of a system.
- Creating debug strategies and plans for partners to more rapidly triage failures to isolate specific components including PVT and marginality issues.
- SysDebug lead roles to drive complex issues to Root-Cause.
- Debugging low level software and hardware issues.
- Debug tools including JTAG.
- Using Lab Equipment (Logic Analyzer, Scope, Signal Generator etc…).
Preferred Qualifications:
- Strong programming and scripting languages (C, Assembly, Perl, Python, etc.).
- Good understanding of power and performance.
