R-SoC Embedded SW​/Linux Validation Engineer

Job Title: SoC Embedded SW/Linux Validation Engineer

• Develop and maintain validation infrastructure to support comprehensive SoC validation efforts
• Validate SoC functionality using both bare‑metal and OS‑based environments
• Plan, develop, execute, and debug SoC functional tests in embedded C code in bare‑metal environments on both emulation and silicon platforms
• Use Linux as a validation vehicle by bringing up and debugging the Linux kernel and select applications on emulation and silicon platforms
• Identify, isolate, and debug SoC design issues through low‑level software and system analysis;
  Work design and verification teams in root causing the issues.
• Gain deep understanding of SoC architectures and IP‑level design specifications
• Create detailed validation test plans in collaboration with design, verification, product engineering, and software teams
• Support validation across multiple software environments, including bare‑metal, Linux, and RTOS

• The candidate must have 12+ experience in the embedded SW and Linux kernel/driver programming.
• The candidate must have a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering.
• Experienced in Linux kernel builds and Linux ramdisk creation; booting and debugging Linux on emulation and validation platforms.
• Able to read and understand SoC architecture and design specifications for various IPs.
• Experienced in C programming language and build environment such as makefiles, compiler flags, and linker scripts.
• Ability to develop scripts (such as Python) to post-process executable images into platform loadable images (emulation and validation boards).
• Exposure to assembly level programing (Preferably ARM
  32/ARM
  64)
• Ability to debug SoC using features such as Trace
  32, TARMAC instruction traces, and waveform traces;
  Debug skills include development of CMM scripts and ability to recreate test (code) given detailed explanation of a specific failure.
• Understanding of multi-core environment in an SoC and bus infrastructure.
• Understanding of interrupt controllers, DMA, GPIO. peripheral understanding useful (UART, I2C, PCIe, etc.)
