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).

  
  

• 7+ 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
