This role contributes to the bring-up, debug, and validation of next-generation GPU and system-level IP, impacting product quality, performance, and time to market.

Responsibilities

Contribute to the bring-up, debug, and validation of next-generation GPU and system-level IP across silicon and emulation platforms.
Identify, analyze, and resolve complex functional and performance issues.
Collaborate with architecture, design, verification, and software teams to drive root cause analysis.
Improve debug efficiency and enable robust validation strategies.
Support GPU silicon debug, design-for-debug architecture, and diagnostic development.
Assist with automated SOC-level system test generation for GPU and Coherent Interconnect.
Participate in board-level hardware and software bring-up of GPU and SOCs.
Perform functional and parametric analysis of SOC and IP within an SOC.
Help debug and root-cause improper or inconsistent operation.
Develop software tools or scripts to support debug and test simplification and automation.
Leverage AI/ML tools to accelerate analysis and automate repetitive debug workflows.
Learn and apply debug features to accelerate testing and improve test effectiveness.
Contribute to IP-level functional validation test plans.
Support SOC emulation: modify hardware, software, and test benches, run emulation, and analyze SOC behavior.
Provide debug and testing input for feature improvements to next-generation designs.
