THE ROLE:

We are looking for a highly motivated and technically skilled HSIO Functional Validation Engineer to join our team. This role focuses on developing debug tools and driving system-level validation of High-Speed IO (HSIO) protocols. 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 software mindset, hands-on debug experience, and familiarity with IO standards such as PCIe and Ethernet 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 debug visibility and testability. 
• Providing root cause analysis and guidance to internal and customer design teams to help with close issues.  
• 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 strategy, methodology, and process. 

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:  

• Strong understanding of HSIO interfaces and protocols (e.g. PCIe, USB, SATA, Ethernet.). 
• Experience with protocol analyzers, exercisers, and traffic generators. 
• Solid programming/scripting skills in Python, C/C++, and shell scripting (Perl, TCL, etc. is a plus). 
• Familiarity with system-level validation concepts and tools. 
• Debug experience in post-silicon or validation lab environments. 
• Working knowledge of Linux and/or embedded firmware is highly desirable. 
• Experience with test automation frameworks and data-driven debug workflows. 
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. 
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment. 

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:  

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field with 5–8 years of experience in hardware validation, embedded systems, or debug tool development.
