- Own the bring-up, validation, and characterization of new silicon devices through design verification on silicon.
- This engineer acts as the bridge between design, DFT/test, and product/yield engineering, ensuring the device meets all functional, performance, and reliability specifications.
- They debug silicon behavior, run detailed characterization, and provide deep root-cause analysis when results deviate from simulation or expected design targets.
Post Silicon Verification/Validation Engineer
Dresden, Grenoble, Milan
Full-time
Permanent employee
Role Overview
Must Have
- Proven experience in post-silicon validation, silicon debug, or product/validation engineering
- Hands-on experience with silicon bring-up and failure analysis
- Experience with verification, simulation and debugging at system, chip, and block level
- Ability to work with cross-functional teams (Design, Test, Product, Yield)
- Experience working in NPI environments and early silicon phases is a plus
Responsibilities
- Serve as the primary interface between Test/Product Engineering and Design teams
- Define and implement Design Verification methods and strategies to ensure product performance and reliability
- Develop and specify preliminary DDR4 test program blocks based on simulated test cases
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to optimize test coverage and efficiency
- Support lab activities, including debugging, wafer probing, µprobing, and test execution
- Contribute to continuous improvement of verification processes and tools
- Define DFT strategies and implement together with Design automated test modes, m-BIST
Your profile
- Background in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or Computer Engineering
- Typically 3–8+ years of experience in post-silicon validation, design verification, or product engineering
- Experience in memory products (DRAM, NAND, or high-speed interfaces) is highly desirable
- Comfortable working in both:
- Lab environment (hands-on debugging)
- Data analysis/scripting environment
- Strong problem-solving mindset with curiosity for root-cause analysis
- Able to bridge design intent and real silicon behavior
- Good communication skills to clearly present debug findings and drive resolution
Ideal fit
- Solid understanding of mixed signal design and verification concepts
- Hands-on experience with lab bring-up and debug tools: ATE, Oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers
- Knowledge of DFT/BIST architectures and failure diagnosis
- Ability to analyze silicon vs. simulation mismatches and identify root causes
- Strong Programming/Scripting skills
- Familiarity with Stand Alone / Embedded Memory designs and high-speed interfaces is a plus
