Product Validation Engineer

Job Title

Product Validation Engineer

Role Summary

Join Altera's post-silicon validation team in Bayan Lepas to validate timing and static/dynamic power models for Multi-Chip Package (MCP) FPGAs. The role develops validation patterns, executes power and timing characterization on ATE platforms, and supports silicon yield and speed binning decisions.

Experience Level

Mid-level — 3 to 6 years of industry experience in post-silicon validation, test engineering, or hardware characterization.

Responsibilities

Execute post-silicon validation and correlate measurements with pre-silicon models. Key responsibilities include:

• Develop and execute validation plans for static and dynamic power, power domains, and timing across MCP FPGA architectures.
• Create, optimize, and debug FPGA validation pattern sets for MCPs and core logic circuits.
• Run characterization tests on ATE tester platforms and bench setups to support volume characterization and bring-up.
• Analyze silicon performance data to correlate simulation and model accuracy with measured results.
• Perform statistical data analysis to support product speed and power binning and improve yield.
• Collaborate with chip designers, software model engineers, and test teams to diagnose silicon anomalies and resolve issues.

Requirements

Essential skills and experience for immediate contribution:

• Hands-on experience with static and dynamic power measurement and timing characterization for complex ICs or FPGAs.
• Practical experience using ATE tester platforms and bench equipment for silicon characterization.
• Proficiency in scripting for test automation and data analysis (Python, Perl, Tcl, or similar).
• Solid understanding of digital logic, programmable logic architectures, and advanced packaging concepts.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; experience applying statistical methods to silicon data.
• Ability to work cross-functionally with global engineering teams.

Nice to have: direct experience with multi-chip packages (MCP), speed/power binning strategies, or volume characterization programs.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a related technical field. The posting specifies 3–6 years of industry experience; equivalent practical experience may be considered.
