Staff System Validation Engineer MCU/SoC

Meet the Team Join a dynamic MCU Validation team that drives post silicon validation and characterization of various analog blocks, analog/digital peripherals and chip systems. We work closely with design, verification, apps and architecture groups to deliver high-performance, low-power solutions. Collaboration, innovation, and technical excellence define our culture, making this an exciting place to grow, lead, and make a real impact. About the Role We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced validation engineer for building a new system validation capacity within our MCU Validation team in Hyderabad, India. The ideal candidate is an enthusiastic detail-oriented system level engineer with a solid understanding of low power MCU architectures in terms of both digital and analog aspects. The position also requires software proficiency at Python scripting and firmware levels, experience in board level hardware design, and deep understanding of test instrumentation, measurement techniques and tests automation. The candidate would also be mentoring a team of engineers and collaborating with cross-functional groups. This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to world-class silicon solutions and grow as a technical leader. Responsibilities Develop and execute system-level validation plans derived from typical customer use cases and cross functional teams requirements.Develop embedded firmware (C/Assembly) to enable validation scenarios using HAL/driver layersBuild automation frameworks in Python to control lab instruments such as oscilloscopes, SMUs, spectrum analyzers, and AWGsValidate and characterize analog, digital, and mixed-signal subsystems on siliconDebug system-level issues and collaborate with design, firmware, and applications teamsAnalyze results, identify failure modes, and drive root cause analysisDocument validation results and contribute to product quality and release readinessDrive or participate in cross functional technical reviewsInfrastructure development for our automated silicon characterization platform which consists of hardware, device/instruments drivers, software toolchains, frameworks, libraries and databasesImplement and develop work processes to scale efficiently and ensure high product qualityClose cooperation with existing IoT MCU Validation teams in other locations, with IC design engineers and SW/FW developersLead validation projects in an inter site, cross functional team environment.Mentor new team membersRequirements 8+ years of experience in system-level validation/characterization of SoCs or MCUsExperience in embedded firmware development (C/Assembly) using HAL/driver frameworksAbility to extract and interpret register-level details from datasheets/reference manualsExperience building automation frameworks (Python preferred) for validation workflowsHands-on experience with lab instrumentation (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, SMU, AWG, etc.)Solid understanding of ARM Cortex-M or RISC-V architecturesStrong hands-on experience validating blocks such as:Power: DCDC converters, LDOs, Brown-Out DetectorsClocking: RCOs, PLLsMixed-signal: ADCs, DACs, Op-AmpsDigital interfaces: QSPI, SDIO, I3C, USART, USBAbility to read and understand schematics and board layoutsHands-on experience in version control software framework like GitExcellent problem-solving, leadership, and communication skills. Preferred Qualification: Knowledge of RF systems (Tx/Rx chains)Experience with wireless SoCs (BLE, Wi-Fi, proprietary RF)Hands-on experience in hardware design or schematic captureFamiliarity with production test flows "Experience with artificial intelligence (AI) powered tools and technologies used to enhance productivity, analysis, and decision-making" Benefits & Perks : Not only will you be joining a highly skilled and tight-knit team where every engineer makes a significant impact on the product; we also strive for good work/life balance and to make our environment welcoming and fun.
