Job Responsibilities
Validation Planning & Strategy
- Define validation plans for MCU/MPU subsystems (CPU, memory, peripherals, interconnects).
- Develop test cases and coverage metrics based on architecture and design specs.
- Identify corner cases, stress scenarios, and system-level use cases.
Silicon & Pre-Silicon Validation
- Perform post-silicon validation on silicon platforms, evaluation boards, and emulators.
- Support pre-silicon validation/emulation efforts where required.
- Debug issues across hardware–software boundary.
Test Development & Automation
- Develop validation test suites using C/C++, Python, or scripting languages.
- Build automation frameworks for regression and validation flows.
- Create scripts for data capture, logging, and analysis.
Hardware/Firmware Debug
- Perform low-level debugging using tools such as:
- JTAG, SWD
- Logic analyzers, oscilloscopes
- Trace tools (ETM, ITM)
- Root cause failures across:
- CPU cores (ARM/RISC-V)
- Memory subsystems (DDR, SRAM, Flash)
- Peripherals (UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO, etc.)
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work with:
- RTL design teams (for bug fixes and clarifications)
- Verification teams (for coverage gap closure)
- Firmware/software teams (for test enablement)
- Review architecture and design specifications.
Job Qualification
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering (or related).
- 10–13+ years of experience in semiconductor validation (analog), product engineering, or silicon debug.
- Strong hands-on background in:
- MCU architectures
- Embedded systems
- Lab bring-up and silicon debug tools (JTAG, logic analyzers, scopes, etc.)
- Proven ability to lead large, distributed engineering teams.
- Excellent communication and executive presence.
