Job Responsibilities:Validation Planning & Strategy

• Definevalidation plansfor MCU/MPU subsystems (CPU, memory, peripherals, interconnects).
• Developtest cases and coverage metricsbased on architecture and design specs.
• Identify corner cases, stress scenarios, and system-level use cases.

Silicon & Pre-Silicon Validation

• Performpost-silicon validationon silicon platforms, evaluation boards, and emulators.
• Supportpre-silicon validation/emulationefforts where required.
• Debug issues across hardware–software boundary.

Test Development & Automation

• Developvalidation test suitesusing C/C++, Python, or scripting languages.
• Buildautomation frameworksfor regression and validation flows.
• Create scripts for data capture, logging, and analysis.

Hardware/Firmware Debug

• Performlow-level debuggingusing 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 inElectrical/Electronics/ComputerEngineering (or related).
• 7–10+ 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.
