Principal Analog Validation Engineer

Experience: Not Available to Not Available years

Location: Pune

Skills: MCU architectures, Embedded systems, JTAG, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, C/C++, Python, SWD, ETM, ITM, ARM, RISC-V, DDR, SRAM, Flash, UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO

Job Qualification
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering (or related). 10–13+ years of experience in semiconductor validation (analog), product engineering, or silicon debug. Solid 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.

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.
