Display Diagnostics Engineer
The Role:
The diagnostics team is responsible for developing tests and suites for display IP design verification. We are heavily involved in diagnostics development for the latest innovations that power the ultimate visual and computing experience. We understand the features that go into the hardware design and we have the software skills to program them to life. Once developed these diagnostics are used in all aspects of the product lifecycle, from pre-silicon validation through the production life of the product.
The Person:
The successful candidate for this role will be an integral part of our diagnostics development team through code development, debug, emulation and HW feature validation. We are seeking a forward thinker to improve development process and drive innovation.
Key Responsibilities:
- Define display IP (pixel data processing, power saving, HDMI, DP, security) test strategy and diagnostics coverage by working with ASIC IP design team
- Lead display IP feature bring-up and validation on both pre-silicon environment (FPGA, SoC emulator) and post-silicon system (real ASIC and platform)
- Identify and help resolve ASIC, board and firmware issues, provide diagnostics support to external customers and internal engineering teams
- Provide technical guidance to junior engineers
- Responsible for execution of programs, multiple projects on the go
