LAYIQ - Sr Silicon Bring-Up and Integration Engineer at Blue Origin

Silicon Bring-Up: Perform first-silicon power-on, initialization, configuration, functional bring-up, and debugging of custom SoCs and ASICs.
Low-Level Silicon Software: Develop C/C++ software, firmware, diagnostics, and Python-based test infrastructure used to configure, control, exercise, and validate custom silicon.
Pre-Silicon Readiness: Develop bring-up software, test sequences, register-access utilities, diagnostics, and validation capabilities prior to silicon availability using simulation, emulation, FPGA prototypes, or other available pre-silicon platforms.
HW/SW Integration: Integrate and debug low-level software and firmware with silicon hardware, including initialization sequences, clocks and resets, memory interfaces, peripherals, data paths, and high-speed interfaces.
Post-Silicon Validation: Develop and execute functional, performance, stress, and corner-condition tests to validate silicon behavior against design and system requirements.
Silicon Characterization: Support characterization across voltage, temperature, frequency, operating modes, and silicon process variation.
Complex Debug: Investigate and root-cause failures spanning silicon hardware, RTL, firmware/software, boards, clocks, power, interfaces, and system-level behavior.
Lab Automation: Develop automated test infrastructure for DUT configuration, lab instrumentation, data collection, regression testing, and analysis.
Interface Bring-Up: Bring up and debug low-speed and high-speed interfaces such as JTAG, SPI, I2C, UART, PCIe, Ethernet, SerDes, DDR/LPDDR, and custom chip-to-chip interfaces as applicable.
Bring-Up Hardware Support: Define requirements for evaluation boards, fixtures, sockets, instrumentation, and debug capabilities required for silicon bring-up and validation, and work closely with board-design teams on their implementation.
Cross-Functional Integration: Collaborate closely with ASIC architecture/design, verification, firmware/software, RF/DSP, board, system, manufacturing, and test teams to resolve silicon integration issues.
Silicon Maturation: Support issues from initial engineering samples through characterization, validation, and production readiness, including verification of hardware and software fixes across silicon revisions.

Experience with first-silicon bring-up of complex custom ASICs or SoCs.
Experience developing post-silicon validation frameworks, diagnostics, and automated regression environments.
Experience debugging high-speed SerDes, PCIe, DDR/LPDDR, Ethernet, or custom chip-to-chip interfaces.
Experience with mixed-signal SoCs containing ADCs, DACs, PLLs, clocking, RF, or other analog/mixed-signal subsystems.
Understanding of signal integrity, power integrity, clocking, reset sequencing, and board-level effects on silicon operation.
Familiarity with Linux device drivers, embedded RTOS environments, boot flows, and low-level firmware.
Experience with silicon characterization across voltage, temperature, frequency, and process corners.
Experience supporting root-cause analysis and validating RTL, firmware, software, or silicon fixes.
