Silicon System Validation Engineer

Meta's Silicon Engineers are at the forefront of innovation, driving the design and development of silicon that powers the future of human connection. Across Infrastructure, Reality Labs, and Research, our teams tackle complex challenges in wearables, data centers, and more. We bring together cross-disciplinary minds to invent, prototype, and deliver products and platforms that connect billions of people worldwide.

As an engineer on our team, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and validating complex silicon systems, including ASICs and SOCs. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure the delivery of high-quality silicon solutions that meet the needs of our customers.

• Lead the development, execution, and sign-off of System-on-Chip (SoC) and end-to-end system validation plans
• Identify and communicate technical risks related to silicon validation projects to relevant stakeholders
• Plan, organize, and oversee silicon bring-up and validation activities across multiple SoCs
• Execute and coordinate test and debug activities with cross-functional and plug-and-play (PnP) teams, ensuring thorough validation coverage
• Lead laboratory debug activities, silicon bug reproduction, failure analysis, and failure reporting across multiple domains or projects
• Work with cross-functional teams (i.e., architecture, intellectual property (IP), firmware (FW), electrical engineering (EE), SoC, and product engineering teams to generate comprehensive validation reports for SoC and system-level components
• Work in an agile environment, changing roadmaps and adapt to validation plans based on changes

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• 8+ years of hands-on experience in the bring-up and validation of complex System-on-Chip (SoC) components
• Experience leading silicon validation planning, execution, firmware development for validation, and validation sign-off processes
• Demonstrated experience with high-speed protocols, such as MIPI, PCIe, USB, and DDR, including hands-on experience in high-speed input/output (IO) bring-up
• Demonstrated experience using laboratory equipment, including oscilloscopes, bit error rate testers (BERTs), protocol analyzers, and JTAG debuggers

• Knowledge of application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design flow, silicon foundry test flow, and firmware development processes for silicon components
• Demonstrated experience with pre-silicon validation platforms, such as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) and emulation systems
• Experience collaborating with design, design verification, and post-silicon validation teams to optimize the use of pre-silicon prototype platforms
