Sr. Silicon Validation Engineer, DVT Silicon Dev

Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world. We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Post-Silicon Verification Engineer with strong expertise in Digital ASIC and modem (PHY and MAC layer) verification to join our silicon engineering team. The ideal candidate will work on validating complex SoC designs and wireless modem subsystems in a post-silicon lab environment, ensuring high performance, robustness, and compliance with industry standards. Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Key Job Responsibilities

Perform post-silicon validation and bring-up of complex ASICs and wireless modem components. Develop and execute test plans to verify modem functionality (PHY/MAC), power, performance, and reliability. Collaborate closely with design, RTL verification, firmware, and systems teams to root-cause and resolve silicon issues. Design and implement automated test setups, Python/Perl/C-based test scripts, and data collection/analysis tools. Validate interfaces such as DDR, PCIe, USB, MIPI, Ethernet, and wireless standards (e.g., LTE, NR). Work with lab instruments (e.g., logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, RF test equipment) for silicon debug and characterization. Drive post-silicon verification closure, contribute to silicon revisions, and support manufacturing test development. Document validation results, create debug reports, and assist in cross-functional reviews. Basic Qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field. 7+ years in post-silicon validation or hardware verification. Strong understanding of digital design, SoC architecture, and wireless modem (LTE/5G) principles. Experience with bring-up, validation, and debug of ASICs in a lab setting. Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Perl, TCL) and low-level programming (C/C++). Solid understanding of lab tools and equipment. Familiarity with protocols and interfaces (e.g., AMBA, USB, MIPI, DDR). Excellent analytical, debugging, and communication skills. Preferred Qualifications

Experience in wireless modem systems including Layer 1 PHY/MAC bring-up. Exposure to firmware-hardware interaction debugging. Knowledge of DFT/DFD, scan chain, or BIST validation. Familiarity with signal processing concepts and/or RF test automation.
