Join Microsoft's Cloud Hardware and Infrastructure Engineering team, instrumental in powering over 200 online businesses and the Azure platform. We are seeking a Senior Silicon Engineer specializing in ASIC verification to contribute to our Data Processing Unit (DPU) team. This role involves developing cutting-edge, high-performance, low-power, and scalable DPU silicon solutions. You will tackle complex datacenter challenges, collaborating with architecture teams to create programmable silicon implementations. This is a highly visible and impactful position offering broad exposure across various engineering domains and significant opportunities for career growth.

As a key member of the DPU team, you will be responsible for validating silicon to resolve intricate datacenter problems. Your duties include leading functional validation of complex ASIC SOCs using UVM/C test benches, performing pre-silicon SoC verification and post-silicon validation through strategic testing. You'll collaborate closely with Architecture, Design, Verification, and Partner teams to drive project execution and shape future designs. Key tasks involve developing test plans, writing C tests and infrastructure, executing tests, debugging failures, and creating stress and performance scenarios. You will actively participate in chip bring-up and develop test firmware. We encourage innovation to enhance validation efficiency through advanced methodologies and tools, while upholding Microsoft's core values of Customer Focus, Adaptability, Collaboration, Growth Mindset, Drive for Results, Influence for Impact, Judgement, and Diversity & Inclusion.

We are looking for candidates with at least 6 years of relevant technical engineering experience. Alternatively, a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, combined with 6+ years of technical engineering or internship experience, is acceptable. Master's degree holders with 4+ years of experience, or Doctorate degree holders in a related field, are also encouraged to apply. A strong background of 6+ years in pre-silicon validation, with a proven track record in areas like high-performance Network switches/accelerators, CPUs, Vector processors, or GPUs, is essential. Proficiency in UVM/C verification methodology is required. Successful candidates will be self-motivated, capable of independent work, and effective team collaborators.
