Validation and Integration Engineer

A high-profile, globally operating Fabless Semiconductor startup developing cutting-edge ASICs and high-speed interconnect silicon for hyperscale Data Centers and cloud infrastructure. Employing nearly 100 professionals, the company pioneers ultra-fast transmission and optical connectivity chipsets engineered to address critical bandwidth and latency demands in next-generation computing ecosystems. The organization pairs robust financial stability with elite silicon and hardware innovation, offering hands-on engineering challenges at the intersection of optics, high-speed mixed-signal design, and deep system architecture. Located in the Ramat Gan, adjacent to the train station. Role Description- Serving as a Senior System Validation & Silicon Bring-Up Engineer, leading end-to-end validation, characterization, and debugging from silicon and board levels to complete platform systems. Driving hands-on Silicon Bring-Up and board-level validation for new ASIC revisions, Evaluation Boards (EVBs), reference designs, and optical transceiver modules. Executing full physical-layer and system-level validation of Optical Modules, SerDes, and high-speed electrical links, interfacing directly with customer platforms. Architecting and running test automation scripts in Python / MATLAB to automate laboratory test benches, bench instrumentation (scopes, BERTs, optical spectrum analyzers), regression suites, and parametric characterization. Performing in-depth signal integrity and physical characterization, including BER testing, eye diagram quality, jitter analysis, power dissipation, and thermal metrics. Leading complex root-cause failure investigations across hardware, firmware, and system layers; performing board-level debug and schematic reviews. Conducting characterization of on-chip analog blocks, PLLs, ADCs, DACs, voltage regulators, clock trees, power-sequencing architectures, and telemetry circuits. Interfacing cross-functionally with ASIC Design, Hardware, Firmware, and Software squads, while directly supporting tier-1 customer evaluations, reproduction of customer issues, and live technical demonstrations.
