Senior System Validation Engineer

Location: Tel Aviv-Yafo, Tel Aviv District, Israel

Department: System Validation CCE2

• Develop and execute post-silicon functional and system validation from silicon bring-up through production readiness.
• Run PVT, silicon corner, stress, characterization, and qualification testing across a wide range of operating conditions.
• Develop validation tests to verify functionality, performance, stability, power, and operating margins.
• Debug issues across silicon, hardware, firmware, drivers, and system software.
• Validate high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, CXL, Ethernet/SerDes, and DDR, as well as common system interfaces.
• Develop Python scripts and automation to improve validation coverage, regression, and test efficiency.
• Analyze validation data, identify issues and trends, and drive problems to root cause and closure.
• Work closely with hardware, architecture, firmware, software, design, and DV teams to investigate and resolve issues.
• Support the transition of new silicon from initial bring-up to a qualified, production-ready product.
• Operate system platforms and laboratory equipment to support validation and debug.
• Document test results, issues, root cause, and recommendations and communicate findings clearly.

• B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 6+ years of experience in post-silicon, system, hardware, or product validation.
