Job Qualification:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering (or related).
12+ 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:
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.
