Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end validation and product quality assurance strategy for embedded software, firmware, and platform solutions through release.
- Develop test strategies, test plans, validation architectures, automation methodologies, coverage models, and release qualification plans.
- Provide technical expertise across platform domains including HSIO, LSIO, BIOS/UEFI, RAS, telemetry, and BMC technologies.
- Collaborate with architecture, design, firmware, software, hardware, and program management teams to define validation requirements, quality metrics, and release criteria.
- Support pre-silicon emulation, silicon bring-up, board validation, firmware integration, post-silicon validation, and system-level debugging.
- Define and monitor quality indicators, validation metrics, and coverage goals to guide quality improvements and release decisions.
- Mentor validation engineers and provide technical leadership in test architecture, automation, debugging, root-cause analysis, and engineering practices.
Requirements
- Proven experience in firmware validation, platform validation, embedded software validation, quality engineering, or related domains through production release.
- Experience defining and delivering validation strategies, quality assurance frameworks, and release qualification plans for complex firmware, embedded software, and hardware-software integrated platforms.
- Strong expertise in validation architectures, test strategies, test plans, and coverage models across component, subsystem, integration, and system levels.
- Background validating firmware, platform software, or low-level system software on pre-silicon and silicon platforms, preferably Arm-based systems.
- Excellent programming skills in C/C++, with proficiency in Python, Shell, or Perl for automation and scripting.
- Experience with server or infrastructure platforms and customer- or production-facing environments is preferred.
- Understanding of system architecture, Arm systems, operating system fundamentals, bootloaders, firmware interfaces, device drivers, and board bring-up flows is preferred.
- Experience with SystemReady, ACS, firmware conformance, security validation, customer acceptance testing, validation teams, validation frameworks, lab automation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, or release-readiness processes is preferred.
- Experience working in globally distributed teams is preferred.
Benefits
- Hybrid working arrangements are determined by the team, with role-specific details provided during the application process.
- No relocation package is available for this role.
- If skilled worker sponsorship is required, Arm will cover employer sponsorship costs; individual visa application fees and Immigration Health Surcharge remain the candidate’s responsibility.
