Senior Firmware Validation Engineer

The Role

We are seeking a Senior Firmware Validation Engineer with a builder’s mindset.

While your primary mission is to ensure the integrity of our optical modules through

rigorous testing, you won't just be finding bugs — you'll be invited to help squash them.

This role offers the unique opportunity to contribute directly to firmware

development, making it ideal for a validation expert who wants to keep their coding

skills sharp and influence the product architecture.

Key Responsibilities

 Test Strategy & Design: Analyze product requirements and functional

specifications to design comprehensive test plans and detailed test cases for

firmware validation.

 Development Contribution: Collaborate with the design team to write and

optimize firmware code, implement bug fixes, and develop new features for

optical control.

 Test Case Architecture: Transform complex technical requirements into

sophisticated Python-based automation frameworks.

 Cross-Functional Debugging: Lead root-cause analysis sessions, bridging the

gap between hardware, firmware, and optical physics.

 Agile Execution: Rapidly pivot between high-priority tasks in a fast-paced

environment where requirements and hardware revisions evolve quickly.

Required Qualifications

 Experience: 5+ years in firmware validation or embedded software development.

 Technical Core: Bachelor’s degree in EE or CE and a penchant for solving

complex technical problems.

 Scripting & Tooling: Expert-level Python skills for automation. Experience with

C/C++ is required for your contributions to the firmware codebase.

 Lab Skills: Hands-on experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and

standard lab equipment (Oscilloscopes, Optical Spectrum Analyzers, BERTs).

 Mindset: A 'fail fast, learn faster' attitude. You must be highly flexible and

thrive in a high-pressure, rapid-growth setting.

 Automation: Proven track record of building automated test benches from

scratch to validate hardware/firmware interactions.

Preferred Qualifications

Optics: Familiarity with Silicon Photonics or Optical Transceivers is highly

desirable.

MCU: Prior experience with STM32 family of microcontrollers is a plus.

What Makes You a Good Fit?

You don't just follow a checklist; you anticipate where the system might fail and have

the technical chops to suggest—or implement—the solution. You are comfortable with

ambiguity and can re-prioritize your day as project needs shift.

Why Join Us?

This isn't a siloed role. You will have a seat at the table during the entire development

lifecycle, from initial concept to final module deployment, working at the cutting edge of

optical interconnect technology.
