Job Summary :

We are seeking a highly skilled System Software Verification Engineer with strong expertise in Embedded Firmware, Linux Kernel, and Driver Testing. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in board bring-up, test automation, and debugging of embedded software components across pre-silicon and post-silicon environments.

Key Responsibilities :

- Perform board bring-up activities for software components such as bootloader, platform managers, Linux Kernel, Linux drivers, Baremetal drivers, and applications on ARM-based boards.

- Conduct verification and testing of Linux Kernel and Drivers including I2C, Flash, USB, Ethernet, PCIe, DDR memory tests, etc.

- Develop and execute test plans to evaluate functionality, security, and performance of firmware using emulation and evaluation boards.

- Analyze, track, and debug test failures; collaborate with development teams to identify root causes and implement corrective actions.

- Execute regression tests, triage issues, log defects, and ensure timely closure in collaboration with developers.

- Automate functional and system-level tests using Python, integrate with the existing test automation framework (Pytest/Jenkins), and maintain test artifacts.

Essential Skills :

- Strong experience in verification and testing of Linux-based Embedded System Software.

- Hands-on experience with Linux Device Driver verification and validation on Linux, Baremetal, or RTOS platforms.

- Proficiency in compiling, cross-compiling, building, debugging, and deploying Bootloader, TF-A, Linux Kernel, Device Tree, Middleware, and BareMetal applications using JTAG debuggers & emulators.
