Responsibilities: - Platform Power & Thermal Validation Engineer
- About the Role
- We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented
- Platform Power & Thermal Validation Engineer to join our team.
- In this role, you will be responsible for validating platform-level power and thermal behavior on cutting-edge SoC platforms, developing test automation frameworks, and driving quality through systematic debugging and analysis.
- 🔍 Design, develop, and execute embedded software test plans for platform power and thermal validation on SoC-based platforms 🌡️ Validate thermal management behavior including thermal throttling, mitigation policies, and sensor accuracy ⚙️ Perform platform power testing including active power, idle power states (e.g., DRIPS/SLPM), and power rail validation
- 🐍 Develop and maintain
- Python-based automation scripts to streamline test execution, log collection, and result analysis 🧠 Leverage
- AI/ML tools and techniques to assist in automated triage, anomaly detection, and test result analysis
- 🔬 Perform low-level JTAG debugging using tools like Lauterbach T32 to analyze hardware/software interactions and failures
- 📊 Analyze test results, identify root causes, and work closely with software and hardware teams to resolve issues 🏗️ Understand
- CPU architecture and microarchitecture concepts to correlate power/thermal behavior with system activity
- 📝 Document test cases, test results, bug reports, and validation summaries
Qualifications: - Requirement Details Experience
- 3–6 years in embedded software testing / validation SoC Knowledge
- Understanding of SoC architecture, subsystems, and power domains CPU Understanding
- Familiarity with CPU microarchitecture, power states, and performance counters Thermal Management
- Experience validating thermal policies, thermal sensors, and mitigation algorithms
- Platform Power Testing
- Hands-on experience with platform power measurement, idle state validation, and power profiling Python Automation
- Proficiency in Python for test automation, scripting, and data analysis JTAG Debugging
- Experience using JTAG-based debuggers (e.g., T32/Lauterbach) for low-level debug
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 2+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience.
- Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 1+ year of Software Engineering or related work experience.
- PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field.
- 2+ years of academic or work experience with Programming Language such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc.
