Product validation engineer

Are you looking for a unique opportunity to be a part of something great Want to join a 17000-member team that works on the technology that powers the world around us Looking for an atmosphere of trust empowerment respect diversity and communication How about an opportunity to own a piece of a multi-billion dollar (with a B!) People come to work at Microchip because we help design the technology that runs the world. We take pride in our commitment to employee development values-based decision making and strong sense of community driven by our Vision Mission and 11 Guiding Values; we affectionately refer to it as the Aggregate System and its won us countless awards for diversity and workplace excellence.

we did not achieve record revenue and over 30 years of quarterly profitability without a great team dedicated to empowering innovation. This involves the planning design integration test and documentation of a complete system level platform used to test the prototype Integrated Circuits and FW/SW.
The System Validation Design Engineer works in parallel with the IC and FW/SW designers to design integrate and validate an entire system solution for PCIe switches. For the first Silicon System Validation Design engineers are responsible for entire system design required for SOC functional validation involving board designs FW coding FPGA/CPLD code development tester designs Tcl/Tk script coding and software driver/OS system level integration. Using these systems together with the latest protocol analyzers and test equipment the System Validation Design Engineer will work as part of a team to develop and execute a Feature Test Plan that fully exercises the prototype IC and associated FW/SW. Working at the system level the System Validation Design Engineer will be involved with existing and newly drafted standards including PCIe Express.

As a Data Center Solutions System Validation Design Engineer you will be involved in designing building and debugging system level HW FW and SW to test leading edge prototype ICs in their intended applications. This involves working with prototype boards IC FW and SW to bring-up the entire system level solution to life and enable further development and testing.
You will work as part of a team to develop execute and document a series of Feature Tests that will fully validate the operation of the prototype SOC as part of the overall system. These feature tests will exercise the various functional blocks of a prototype IC associated FW/SW and tests the system level circuitry to performance criteria and to industry standards.
