- Experience in complex SoC bring-up and system-level validation.
- Strong hardware and embedded software debugging experience.
- Key Responsibilities
- Post-Silicon Validation & Bring-Up
- Perform post-silicon bring-up and validation of Automotive SoCs.
- Develop validation plans, test procedures, and regression strategies.
- Validate CPU, memory, interconnect, peripherals, security, functional safety, power management, and clocking subsystems.
- Execute feature, performance, stress, and corner-case validation.
- Support silicon characterization and product readiness activities.
- Hardware Debug & Lab Validation
- Perform board-level debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, JTAG debuggers, and power analyzers.
- Debug DDR, boot, clocks, resets, power sequencing, and peripheral interfaces.
- Work with hardware teams to isolate silicon, board, and system-level issues.
- Embedded Software & Firmware Validation
- Develop validation applications using C/C++.
- Validate bootloaders, BSPs, device drivers, firmware, RTOS, and Embedded Linux environments.
- Develop automation frameworks using Python and Shell scripting.
- Debug hardware-software integration issues.
- Automotive Interface Validation
- Validate CAN/CAN-FD, LIN, Automotive Ethernet, PCIe, USB, UART, SPI, I2C, DDR/LPDDR, and networking protocols.
