Principal ASIC Validation Engineer - PCIe/LPDDR

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.

Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever.

We are looking for hands‑on experienced ASIC Validation Engineer to validate PCIe/LPDDR Controller + PHY IPs and SoC integrations across pre‑silicon and post‑silicon phases and specializes in validating PCIe/LPDDR IPs, subsystems, or full SoCs to ensure protocol compliance, electrical/spec performance, interoperability, and system-level robustness.

You’ll drive test planning, bring‑up, protocol compliance, interoperability, stress/corner testing, and root‑cause analysis in collaboration with design, verification, firmware, and board teams.

The is pure technical role which involves deep knowledge of specifications like PCIe (Gen3/4/5/6) or LPDDR, high‑speed I/O behavior, and validation methodologies across pre-silicon and post-silicon phases. Candidate must posses hands on knowledge of either of PCIe or LPDDR protocols.

Job responsibilities At Glance:

• Overall ownership of PCIe/LPDDR validation in Architecture, Pre-Silicon, Board Design, Post-Silicon activities, Proficiency in Debug Skills & Interoperability
• Interact with Architecture/Design/FW teams to identify actual FW implementation and plan/perform validation accordingly
• Review SoC Verification plan for PCIe/LPDDR sub system and Create/understand PCIe/LPDDR Validation plan with SOC C, AE, FW teams and architect/review/update C/FW based tests
• Develop understanding on SoC and perform Processor based SoC verification and Emulation using C/FW/AE Flow
• Should be able to run SOC C based simulations for test case understanding and debug using VCS
