About the role

  • Silicon Validation Engineer for HPE supporting validation of Slingshot ASIC products through chip-level testing. Collaborating with design and architecture teams to ensure ASIC functionality and performance.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, execute, and maintain chip‑level validation tests for HPE Slingshot NIC and switch ASICs, primarily using emulator‑based environments
  • Create object‑oriented Python test infrastructure and test cases that operate at the operating‑system and system‑integration level
  • Validate both HPE Slingshot–specific functionality and industry‑standard networking protocols
  • Debug functional, performance, and reliability issues uncovered during silicon validation, working closely with design, architecture, firmware, and software teams
  • Contribute to validation planning by identifying coverage gaps and proposing additional test scenarios within assigned areas
  • Support bring‑up activities for new ASIC revisions and platforms
  • Document validation results, defects, and lessons learned to improve future validation effectiveness
  • Participate in design reviews, validation reviews, and post‑silicon issue triage

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience
  • Typically 4–8 years of experience in VLSI validation, verification, or related silicon engineering roles
  • Proficiency with Python programming
  • Proficiency in object‑oriented programming
  • Experience writing tests for integrated circuits
  • Proficiency with Linux command‑line environments
  • Working knowledge of Verilog or other hardware description languages
  • Experience with ASIC silicon validation or post‑silicon testing
  • Working knowledge of high‑speed networking concepts and protocols (Ethernet, SERDES fundamentals)
  • Ability to independently execute validation tasks and debug complex technical issues
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.

Benefits

  • Health & Wellbeing
