Responsibilities
The Silicon computing development team is seeking a Senior SoC HW (PnP/Functional) Validation Engineer to join the post-silicon validation (including functional, electrical, and power/performance aspects) team for our projects. This new team will be involved in numerous projects within Microsoft developing custom silicon for a diverse set of systems. We are responsible for delivering cutting-edge, custom SoC designs that can perform complex and high-performance functions in the most efficient manner. As a technical individual contributor in this high impact role on the team, you will:

• Own project post-silicon validation direction including functional, electrical/analog and power & performance.
• Define, guide, and contribute to the planning and implementation of silicon debug tools and capabilities.
• Coordinate across multiple organization on program deliverables, requirements, and execution.
• Provide technical guidance, coaching, and mentorship to other engineers in your areas of expertise.
• Develop validation strategy, requirements, environments, tools, and methodologies including debug board and hardware/software requirements.
• Apply your knowledge of validation principles and techniques and your judgement to deliver test plans, including test content, scripts, tools and other validation collateral.
• Execute content in post-silicon, triage and debug failures.
• Apply your growth mindset to learn and adapt in a complex and dynamic environment.
• Engage with partners to drive continuous improvement to the design, to validation plans/collateral, and methodology to prevent, reduce, and/or find bugs sooner, more easily, or more reliably.
• Apply your One Microsoft mentality to collaborate with and influence architects, logic designers, verification engineers, other post-silicon validators, and IP and tool providers.
• Delight your customers by providing high quality results on schedule.
• Provide technical leadership with respect and integrity.
• Apply your experience towards pre-silicon verification plans, tests, and debug of your area.

We will only achieve our mission if we live our culture. We start with becoming learners in all things-having a growth mindset. Then we apply that mindset to learning about our customers, being diverse and inclusive, working together as one, and-ultimately-making a difference in the world.
