FPGA Post Silicon Validation Engineer (FPGA)

Location: Penang 15, Penang, Malaysia

Company

hirify.global develops next-generation FPGA and SoC devices and related secure hardware platforms.

What you will do

• Develop validation strategies for FPGA configuration, security, and HPS subsystems.
• Validate power-on, cold, warm, partial, and recovery configuration flows.
• Test secure boot, authentication, encryption, key management, root of trust, and protection against unauthorized access.
• Validate HPS boot flows, reset and clock sequencing, memory interfaces, and FPGA-HPS integration.
• Create test cases and vectors for corner cases, fault injection, negative testing, and configuration robustness.
• Bring up devices and systems, debug failures across silicon revisions, and improve validation automation and infrastructure.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 8+ years of hands-on silicon validation experience focused on FPGA configuration, security, SoC, or embedded processor subsystems.
• Strong understanding of FPGA configuration architectures, configuration memories, bitstream management, and recovery mechanisms.
• Knowledge of hardware security concepts, including secure boot, authentication, encryption, key storage, lifecycle states, and threat modeling.
• Experience validating HPS or embedded processor subsystems and performing system-level bring-up, debug, failure analysis, and silicon issue triage.
• Experience with Python automation and test infrastructure; Verilog familiarity is an advantage.

Culture & Benefits

• Regular full-time position.
• Shift 1 aligned with Malaysia.
• Collaboration with architecture, hardware, firmware, board design, and platform teams.
• Hands-on exposure to secure FPGA architectures, SoC bring-up, embedded processors, and system-level debug.
