The Reality Labs team is building products that make it easier for people to connect with the ones they love most. We are a team of world-class experts developing and shipping products at the intersection of silicon, hardware, software, and content. The Reality Labs team seeks a Silicon Validation Engineer.As a Silicon Validation Engineer, you will be part of the RL Silicon Validation team validating high performance silicon and leading the effort to ensure high-quality silicon delivery.

Silicon Validation Engineer Responsibilities:

• Responsible for SoC and E2E system validation plan development, execution and sign-off.
• Identify and communicate technical risks related to the project to the stakeholders.
• Plan, organize, and oversee silicon bring-up and validation activities across multiple SoCs.
• Understands system HW/SW/FW component as a whole and drives test execution and debug with cross functional/PnP teams.
• Lead lab debug, silicon bug repro, failure analysis, and failure report activities.
• Work with cross-functional teams (i.e., architecture, IP, FW, EE, SoC, and product engineer teams) to generate validation reports for SoC and systems.
• Able to work in an agile environment, changing roadmaps and be able to adapt validation plans based on changes.

Minimum Qualifications:

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in bring-up and validation of complex SoCs.
• 3+ years of experience in leading silicon validation planning, execution, validation FW development, and validation signoff.
• Problem solving, debug, and whiteboard skills.
• Experience influencing design, DV and Post-Silicon validation teams to optimize the usage of Pre-Silicon Prototype platforms.
• Experience in building silicon validation infrastructure and test automation.
