The posting

Meta's Infrastructure Silicon team designs and deploys custom silicon solutions that power the compute, networking, and storage infrastructure underpinning Meta's global data centers. As a principal-level ASIC engineer focused on infrastructure silicon validation, you will define and drive the end-to-end validation strategy for custom ASICs spanning compute accelerators, network ASICs, and storage controllers. In this role, you will shape the technical direction of silicon bring-up, functional validation, and post-silicon debug methodologies, ensuring that Meta's custom silicon programs meet the reliability and performance demands of hyperscale infrastructure deployments.

Responsibilities

  • Define and own the long-term post-silicon validation strategy for custom infrastructure ASICs, including compute accelerators, network ASICs, and storage controllers across multiple program generations
  • Architect scalable validation frameworks and test methodologies for functional verification, performance characterization, and reliability qualification of custom silicon in data center environments
  • Lead silicon bring-up activities including power-on sequencing, clock and reset validation, memory interface bring-up, and high-speed SerDes link characterization
  • Drive root-cause analysis and debug of complex silicon failures using lab instrumentation, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and custom diagnostic firmware
  • Collaborate with pre-silicon design and verification teams to ensure testability requirements, DFT coverage, and scan chain integrity are incorporated early in the design cycle
  • Partner with system software, firmware, and platform engineering teams to co-develop validation infrastructure, diagnostic tools, and automated test suites for silicon characterization
  • Establish silicon validation milestones, risk assessments, and readiness criteria for tape-out, first silicon, and production qualification gates across multiple concurrent programs
  • Influence silicon architecture and design decisions by providing post-silicon feedback loops that inform future ASIC generations and improve first-pass silicon success rates
  • Mentor other engineers across the validation organization and drive adoption of best practices in post-silicon debug, test automation, and characterization methodology
  • Represent the silicon validation organization in cross-functional technical reviews, executive program readiness discussions, and external partner engagements with foundry and IP vendors

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
  • 15+ years of experience in post-silicon validation, silicon bring-up, or ASIC characterization for high-complexity custom ASICs in compute, networking, or storage domains
  • Experience defining and executing validation strategies for high-speed interfaces including PCIe, DDR, HBM, Ethernet, or custom SerDes links at multi-gigabit data rates
  • Experience with DFT methodologies including scan, BIST, JTAG, and boundary scan as applied to post-silicon debug and production test coverage
  • Experience leading multi-generational silicon validation programs from tape-out through production qualification in a hyperscale or high-volume manufacturing environment
  • Experience developing automated silicon characterization and regression frameworks using scripting languages such as Python, Tcl, or equivalent

Preferred Qualifications

  • Background in developing silicon validation IP or reusable test infrastructure that spans multiple ASIC programs or product families
  • Experience collaborating with foundry partners on process-related failure analysis, yield improvement, and reliability qualification for advanced process nodes
  • Familiarity with formal verification, emulation platforms, or pre-silicon simulation environments and their correlation to post-silicon validation outcomes
  • Experience validating custom silicon deployed in large-scale data center infrastructure, including thermal, power integrity, and signal integrity characterization under production workloads

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
