What You’ll Achieve
• Engage in the development and optimization of automated test content generation flows for high-performance processors.
• Design and implement scripts/tools for parallel automatic pattern translation and compilation, leveraging scheduling systems like cron for efficient workload management.
• Contribute to the emulation efforts for advanced test platforms, including Exascale and SMT8 environments, to validate test methodologies and content pre-silicon.
• Work alongside ATE development engineers to enhance the efficiency, coverage, and robustness of test pattern generation.
• Develop skills in large-scale data processing, automation architecture, and distributed computing as applied to ATE.
About You
• Strong programming skills in Python and/or C/C++.
• Proficiency in shell scripting and comfortable working extensively in a Linux command-line environment.
• Basic understanding of parallel processing, compilation processes, and system emulation concepts.
• Familiarity with scheduling tools (e.g., cron) or continuous integration pipelines is a plus.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with an automation mindset.
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly and work collaboratively within a fast-paced team.
• Proactive in learning new technologies and eager to tackle complex challenges.
