ASIC Validation Engineer
Requirements and responsibilities
Readable role content extracted into sections for faster review.
You Will:
- Bring up new silicon on bench platforms, evaluation boards, and system hardware
- Debug issues across ASIC, board, firmware, and system interactions
- Develop bench tests, scripts, and tools to exercise silicon features and collect data
- Build and maintain test setups (lab automation, instrumentation, fixtures, scripts)
- Partner with ASIC designers to validate functionality and root-cause failures
- Work with system engineers to ensure silicon performs correctly in target system environments, including mining systems
- Generate and analyze data to support design decisions, characterization, and bring-up
- Create lightweight, reusable test workflows and documentation for the broader team
- Support early manufacturing efforts with practical validation and debug, as needed
- Travel up to 20% to the labs in Oakland, CA or Toronto, Canada
You Have:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
- 4+ years of experience in silicon validation, hardware test, or related roles
- Strong hands-on experience in a lab environment (bench bring-up, debugging, instrumentation)
- Solid understanding of digital systems and basic analog concepts
- Experience writing scripts or tools (Python preferred) for test and data analysis
- Comfortable debugging issues that span multiple layers (ASIC ↔ board ↔ system)
- Clear communication skills and ability to work closely with cross-functional teams
Preferred:
- Experience with ASIC or FPGA bring-up and validation
- Familiarity with common interfaces (SPI, I2C, JTAG, UART, etc.)
- Experience using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, etc.)
- Exposure to high-performance, power-dense systems (e.g., mining ASICs, accelerators, or similar)
- Experience building test automation or internal tooling
- Familiarity with data analysis and visualization
Nice to haves
- Experience working with early silicon / first bring-up environments
- Exposure to manufacturing test or ATE
- Experience working on systems with tight power, thermal, and performance constraints
