Silicon Validation Firmware Engineer

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. Facebook Reality Labs team seeks a Silicon Validation Firmware Engineer. As a silicon validation firmware engineer, you will be part of the End-to-end (E2E) System Prototyping and Validation team at RL Silicon. Your work will focus on silicon validation of ARVR chips in an E2E system context.

Silicon Validation Firmware Engineer Responsibilities:

• Develop test cases for IP/SoC/System-level flows using the Pre-Si systems
• Develop C/C++ applications to verify the SoC model against architectural specifications. Able to debug through layers of SW applications to RTL FSDBs
• Enable product-level user scenarios on the Pre-Si platforms
• Validate Cross IP data paths and support SoC bring-up and Post-Si debug activities
• Work closely with product engineers, algorithm engineers, software engineers, architects and HW designers to enable pre/post-silicon validation content, quickly prototype new end user experiences and features

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• 2+ years experience in developing Firmware flows and custom scripts using C/C++, Python for system validation
• 2+ years system debug experience using tools like Lauterbach, gdb, or similar on silicon platforms (Virtual, FPGA, Emulation, SVB, NFF, and on device)
• Knowledge in chip architecture, µArchitecture, or design verification experience

Preferred Qualifications:

• Understanding of modern CPU architecture, memory subsystems, Cache hierarchies, and SoC integration flows
• Solid understanding of SoC architecture and Pre-Si Systems with a track record of enabling full verification cycles of complex SoCs (involving Graphics, CPU and DSP Cores)
• Good understanding of Startup code, Linker Scripts, Assembly code
• Experience with IO's such as MIPI CSI & DSI, USB, PCIE, LPDDR
• Experience of dealing with ambiguity in a fast changing consumer electronics field
• Experience working effectively as an individual and in a multidisciplinary team
