Help shape the next generation of networking and edge-compute products. Our product validation team works across the entire product stack to validate and enable next-generation networking and edge-compute solutions. We are seeking an experienced engineer who wants to tackle challenging system-level problems and influence the quality and success of industry-leading products. This role provides broad technical ownership and visibility across the full validation lifecycle, from early system architecture and platform development through validation and product release. Microchip’s Communications Business Unit (CBU) develops high-performance networking, connectivity, and edge compute semiconductor solutions that power communications infrastructure, data centers, automotive systems, aerospace and defense platforms, and industrial applications. You will collaborate with experts across multiple engineering disciplines while working with advanced technologies including high-speed Ethernet, PCI Express,



optical networking, FPGA-based platforms, space-hardened embedded processors, automotive networking and 224Gbps SERDES systems. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on products deployed throughout the world's communications infrastructure while helping shape the next generation of engineering talent and technical practices within our organization. Design high-speed boards (up to 224 Gbps) using Microchip and third-party ICs, digital and analog circuits, and large programmable devices. Design highly integrated, sophisticated FPGAs using VHDL/SystemVerilog. Integrate complex test platforms containing multiple CPUs, high speed backplanes, traffic generation devices/testers, software, and boards developed by our team. Plan and execute device feature tests, including results analysis, bug detection, and extensive root-cause analysis using Python and C/C++. Work with leading edge test equipment such as 1.6T Ethernet testers, oscilloscopes, phase noise analyzers, network analyzers, and microprocessor trace probes. Integrate software SDK to control our hardware systems. Create application-level system configuration scripts to control the device, the test platform, and the test equipment using Python. Create embedded processor test applications to benchmark and stress multi-core SOCs using C/C++ Troubleshoot and resolve complex problems in embedded multi-core SOCs.



Work closely with and collaborate with members of the Product Design, Verification, Software, Software Test, Applications, Marketing, and Product Engineering teams. Successful candidates will combine strong system-level technical depth with the ability to influence cross-functional teams, drive complex investigations, and deliver results across multiple engineering disciplines. Lead the development and execution of validation strategies for next-generation networking and edge-compute products across the full product lifecycle. Define validation plans, qualification criteria, coverage metrics, and release readiness requirements that ensure product quality and successful deployment. Design, develop, and maintain advanced validation platforms spanning hardware, FPGA, software, automation, and system-level integration. Lead investigation and root-cause analysis of complex silicon, hardware, firmware, software, networking, and interoperability issues. Drive technical decision-making and influence product architecture, validation methodologies, and technical roadmaps for future products and platforms. Partner with Product Design, Verification, Software, Applications, Product Engineering, Marketing, and other stakeholders to ensure successful product execution. Collaborate with customers, technology partners, and internal teams to understand deployment challenges and influence product and validation priorities. Lead and mentor engineers across multiple disciplines while promoting engineering excellence, technical growth, and best practices. Manage external engineering partners, including SOW development, technical oversight, milestone reviews, risk management, and deliverable acceptance. Coordinate project priorities, schedules, resources, and tec
