Role & Missions

As part of the development of its product offering, Silicon-Mobility has started the development of a new generation of FPCU components. This innovative architectural component is based on a multi-core architecture combined with a patented real-time subsystem and proprietary reprogrammable logic structure.

The proposed apprenticeship addresses a specific activity in the System on Chip (SoC) development team:  evaluation of the functional safety of the component using state of the art tools. The aim is to ensure functional safety measures are catching all possible functional issues and to provide metrics for certification.

The following activities will be carried out during the apprenticeship :

• Learning and understanding of the architecture and content of the FPCU.
• Understanding and participation in the functional safety analysis.
• Participation in the development of the safety test plan.
• Develop additional tests. Essentially in C language plus a few tests in SystemVerilog / Verilog.
• Test Debug

analysis of coverage reports.
