Senior SoC HW (Power Management) Validation Engineer

Microsoft Silicon, Cloud Hardware, and Infrastructure Engineering ( SCHIE ) is the team behind Microsoft’s expanding Cloud Infrastructure and responsible for powering Microsoft’s “Intelligent Cloud” mission. SCHIE delivers the core infrastructure and foundational technologies for Microsoft's over 200 online businesses including Bing, MSN, Office 365, Xbox Live, Teams, OneDrive, and the Microsoft Azure platform globally with our server and data center infrastructure, security and compliance, operations, globalization, and manageability solutions. Our focus is on smart growth, high efficiency, and delivering a trusted experience to customers and partners worldwide and we are looking for engineers to help achieve that mission.  The Compute Silicon & Manufacturing Engineering (CSME) organization within SCHIE is responsible for design, development, manufacturing and packaging of Microsoft's state-of-the-art computer chips, notably the Azure Cobalt. Our solutions provide sustainable strategic advantages to Microsoft and enable our customers to achieve more.  As Microsoft's cloud business continues to grow the ability to deploy new offerings and hardware infrastructure on time, in high volume with high quality and lowest cost is of paramount importance. To achieve this goal, the post silicon validation team is instrumental in defining and delivering operational measures of success for hardware manufacturing, improving the planning process, quality, delivery, scale and sustainability related to Microsoft cloud hardware. We are looking for engineers with a dedicated passion for customer focused solutions, insight and industry knowledge to envision and implement future technical solutions that will manage and optimize the Cloud infrastructure.   We are looking for a Senior SoC HW (Power Management) Validation Engineer to join the team.   #SCHIE #CSME Responsibilities Power Management Validation Engineer The Silicon Computing Development team is seeking a passionate, driven, and intellectually curious engineer to join the post-silicon Power Management (PM) validation team. This team is responsible for validating and optimizing cutting-edge custom SoCs that power Microsoft's next-generation cloud infrastructure. The successful candidate will play a critical role in ensuring robust, efficient, and scalable power management solutions across the platform. As a technical individual contributor in this high-impact role, you will: Own post-silicon validation and debug of Power Management features across CPU cores, mesh, memory, I/O, package, and platform power domains. Develop and execute comprehensive validation strategies for power states, DVFS, idle and active power management, thermal management, performance-per-watt optimization, and system-level power features. Drive root-cause analysis of complex silicon, firmware, hardware, and software issues impacting power, performance, stability, and feature readiness. Define validation requirements, test plans, methodologies, automation frameworks, debug tools, and telemetry solutions to improve validation coverage and efficiency. Collaborate closely with architects, design, firmware, verification, system software, and platform teams to ensure first-time-right implementation of power management features. Lead silicon bring-up, feature characterization, workload-based validation, and power-performance correlation activities across development milestones. Analyze power, performance, and thermal telemetry to identify bottlenecks, validate design assumptions, and optimize platform efficiency. Influence pre-silicon verification strategies, coverage plans, and debug methodologies using post-silicon learnings. Provide technical leadership, mentoring, and guidance in Power Management architecture, validation techniques, and debug methodologies. Drive continuous improvement in validation infrastructure, automation, and debug capabilities to accelerate issue resolution and
