Responsibilities
- Define and drive silicon-to-solution validation strategies, including plans, coverage, regression, and signoffs.
- Bring up new boards from first power-on through stable platform validation and develop the required scripts, bare-metal code, and debug flows.
- Write firmware and low-level system software for ARM and RISC-V cores in bare-metal and Linux environments.
- Build and customize embedded Linux images, including BSP configuration, device trees, kernel/rootfs tuning, custom recipes, and layers.
- Develop validation tests and applications and automate execution and regression to scale coverage.
- Debug complex issues spanning silicon, firmware, drivers, hardware, and operating systems.
- Partner with architecture, design, verification, software, product engineering, and board teams to drive production readiness and validation signoff.
- Provide technical leadership, mentoring, issue tracking, and risk assessment.
Requirements
- Hands-on embedded systems and hardware validation experience.
- Proven board bring-up experience from power-on through boot and interface bring-up, including debugging clocking, reset, power, and hardware issues.
- Strong C/C++ experience for bare-metal and Linux-based embedded systems on ARM or RISC-V cores.
- Linux kernel-mode driver knowledge is a strong plus.
- Experience building and customizing AMD/Xilinx embedded Linux images using the Yocto-based Embedded Design Flow, including BSPs, device trees, custom recipes, and layers.
- Experience validating Ethernet, USB, SPI, I²C, UART, and CAN interfaces.
- Working knowledge of AMD/Xilinx Vitis and EDF environments.
- Automation experience with Python, Tcl, Shell, and Makefiles, along with Git and structured CI/regression workflows.
- Strong ownership and communication skills, with a track record of technical leadership and mentoring.
