Embedded Firmware Test Engineer (Intermediate)

San Jose, CA

12 months+
Project Overview
This team is developing a reference design for our next gen of glasses.

Responsibilities:

• Pre-silicon FPGA and Post-Silicon ASIC firmware validation.
• Define and develop tests based on vendor-provided SDKs for functional validation and power characterization.
• Develop automated test/regression environments based on vendor-provided tests.
• Develop targeted tests to reproduce reported issues.

Deliverables

• Test Plan Coverage on FPGA and ASIC: Run vendor-provided tests and establish a baseline on the FPGA. Augment vendor-provided tests to improve coverage of P0 product features on FPGA and ASIC. Support this activity through various hardware and software releases. Track and drive resolution of potential instabilities.
• Power Measurements and Optimization: Work on EVBs and Form factor devices based on the ASICs to measure and optimize power. Develop dashboards to help track power regressions.
• Create automated test environments based on the vendor-provided tests and XR team s tests. Track, triage, and resolve regressions.

Candidates must possess:

• Bachelors or Masters in Electrical Engineering and/or Computer Science with a minimum of 3 years of experience in a similar role.
• Working proficiency in Linux (mandatory).
• Readability in C, C++, and Python.
• Experience with scripting.
• Familiarity with RTOS-based systems.
• Experience working with potentially unstable hardware/software under development.
• Lab experience: Working with Oscilloscopes, Logic Analyzers, etc.

Nice to have:

• Experience with FPGAs, board design, low-speed interface protocols (I2C, SPI, UART), and MIPI.
