Validation Engineer - UFS IP

Overview

We are seeking a UFS IP Validation Engineer to support hardware validation of UFS host IP in an SoC environment
. This is a hands-on role focused on pre-silicon and post-silicon validation
, system bring-up, and low-level hardware debugging.

This position is W2 only
.

• C2C / 1099 candidates will not be considered.

• Execute pre-silicon and post-silicon validation
  , silicon bring-up, and debug
• Debug hardware issues using protocol analyzers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and lab tools
• Develop and execute validation strategies, test plans, and test cases
• Collaborate with design, firmware, BIOS, driver, and software teams
• Perform root cause analysis across storage, southbridge, and peripheral subsystems
• Support system-level validation across boot flows, OS interactions, and driver layers
• Document validation results and present technical findings to cross-functional teams

• Hands-on experience with UFS host IP hardware validation in an SoC environment
• Strong understanding of SoC architecture and computer architecture
• Experience validating storage interfaces (UFS, NAND, NOR, eMMC, NVMe)
• Strong knowledge of hardware debug techniques and lab equipment
• Experience with BIOS, firmware, Linux or Windows OS interactions
