Embedded Silicon Validation Engineer

Job Role: Embedded Silicon Validation Engineer

Experience: 7+ Years

Location: Bangalore

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop Embedded C software, device drivers, and reusable frameworks for SoC bring-up and validation activities.
• Develop bare-metal and RTOS-based software to validate functionality, performance, and critical subsystem data paths.
• Understand and work across SoC subsystems including Camera, Display, GPU, Memory, Security, Storage, and Connectivity components.
• Build scalable software infrastructure that can be reused across emulation, FPGA, and silicon platforms.
• Collaborate closely with Architecture, RTL, Design Verification, and Validation teams to align software with hardware design requirements.
• Enable pre-silicon validation using emulation and FPGA platforms and support post-silicon bring-up activities on development boards.
• Debug and optimize embedded software running on emulators, FPGA prototypes, and silicon platforms.
• Support subsystem characterization, performance analysis, benchmarking, and silicon readiness activities.
• Participate in software design reviews, code reviews, technical discussions, and documentation.
• Drive root cause analysis and resolution of complex hardware-software integration issues.
