Senior Staff ASIC Platform Engineer

About Sandisk:

At Sandisk, technology architecture plays a critical role in enabling engineering teams with scalable, reliable, and forward-looking platforms that accelerate product development.

As part of the ASIC Design Enablement and Automation Engineering organization, this role will support the Emerging Technology Solutions group by enabling pre-silicon product development through reliable farm-based infrastructure, engineering automation, and cross-functional platform leadership. You will partner with Product Firmware, Firmware Validation, Security Firmware, ASIC validation and verification, and other engineering teams throughout the development cycle.

About the Role:

This is a hands-on technical leadership role that combines platform architecture with engineering execution. You will develop automation and tooling, improve platform deployment and monitoring, troubleshoot complex issues spanning hardware, firmware, software, and infrastructure, and help scale engineering workflows across shared environments.

The ideal candidate brings broad system-level knowledge with depth in one or more areas such as pre-silicon emulation, FPGA prototyping, ASIC validation, firmware enablement, automation, or platform engineering. Success in this role requires the ability to understand complex development workflows, solve difficult cross-layer technical problems, and translate those solutions into reliable and reusable platforms that can operate at scale.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Support Product Firmware, Firmware Validation, Security FW, and ASIC validation/verification throughout development cycle
• Develop scripts, tools, and automation to improve platform deployment, debug, monitoring and user workflows
• Debug complex platform issues across hardware, firmware, software, infrastructure and user environments
• Understand user workflows and platform use cases and then scale solutions across farm-based deployments
• Document, explain & share creative solutions to difficult technical problems

QUALIFICATIONS

Required:

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related engineering field
• 8+ years of experience in pre-silicon development, emulation, FPGA prototyping, ASIC validation, firmware development, or related platform engineering

Preferred:

• Expertise with pre-silicon ASIC or FW development
• Expertise with Cadence, Siemens and/or Synopsys emulation platforms or FPGA-based prototyping environments
• Ability to debug complex system-level issues across hardware, software, and platform infrastructure
• Familiarity with host interfaces such as PCIe, UFS, USB, and SD
• Familiarity with peripheral interfaces such as UART, JTAG, I2C, HSSTP, and related protocols.
• Experience working in Linux and Windows environments
• Expertise in Tcl
• Experience supporting pre-silicon development in cross-functional teams and optimizing hardware usage at scale
• Understanding of firmware development process and how that intersects with ASIC development and FPGA design
