Senior Staff Engineer, SoC Debug & Validation Engineer

Samsung's Austin Research and Development Center (SARC) and Advanced Computing Lab (ACL) are seeking a Senior Staff Debug and Validation Engineer to join their Silicon Validation team. This role is at the forefront of validating Samsung's cutting-edge mobile GPU, interconnects, and memory controllers.

The position involves working with advanced semiconductor technology, focusing on silicon bring-up and diagnostic development to ensure IPs achieve the highest standards of power, performance, and quality. The role requires expertise in post-silicon validation across GPU, complex system coherent interconnects, and memory controllers, with emphasis on automation and validation technique simplification.

As part of the Silicon & Emulation organization, you'll be instrumental in delivering high-performing GPU and SoC solutions for Samsung's premium mobile products. The team spans the full silicon development lifecycle, combining expertise in validation, emulation, and debug to ensure IP designs meet commercial readiness standards.

The role offers competitive compensation with a base pay range of $180,200 to $297,200, along with comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, 401(k), and educational assistance. The position requires 15+ years of experience with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering or equivalent combinations of education and experience.

Key responsibilities include driving silicon debug, Design-for-Debug architecture, and diagnostic development across various subsystems. The ideal candidate will be an innovator who excels at leading board-level hardware/software bring-up of ARM-based SoCs and conducting post-silicon analysis in Android-based and Firmware environments.

This is an opportunity to work alongside a diverse, global team of talented engineers in a highly collaborative environment. The role combines technical leadership with hands-on engineering work, requiring both deep technical expertise and strong mentorship abilities. The position is based in either Austin, TX or San Jose, CA, with an on-site work requirement.
