JOB SUMMARY DESCRIPTION / PRIMARY PURPOSE OF JOB

A Senior Firmware Verification Engineer is responsible for leading verification projects. They take a system-view to analyze problems across firmware, hardware, software and system interactions. Senior Engineers can receive an under-defined task, bringing clarity to the task, and accomplishing the task with high quality. They can independently and professionally interact with other teams. A Senior Firmware Engineer demonstrates both breadth and depth of knowledge.

This position will collaborate closely with U.S. based firmware and verification teams. Maintaining a working overlap with the U.S. central time of two to three hours is required.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES/RESULTS

Verify device firmware with strict requirements for reliability, performance and user safety

Design and document tests based on requirements to ensure appropriate functional and system-level coverage

Create manual tests, semi-automated tests, and automated tests for efficient regression, stress and performance testing.

Participate in remote design reviews, test plan reviews and defect triage

Implement and deploy automated tests using languages such as Python and C

Integrate tests into CI/CD Pipelines (e.g. Azure DevOps)

Develop scalable test frameworks and automation infrastructure

Investigate failed tests and system integration issues and drive timely resolution

Effectively communicate progress, risks, and blockers

Understand and participate in establishing requirements

Understand system level requirements impacting firmware deliverables.

Collaborate with others in the organization to define and improve system level requirements.

Define, document, and review firmware level requirements through analysis and simulations.

Provide technical leadership and mentorship
