Job Summary

DURATION: 12 months
THE ROLE:
  • Client isseeking fora collaborative motivated System Firmware Test Development Engineer to join our Firmware QA team.
  • In this role you will work closely with firmware architects and domain validation teams to understand new firmware and system-level features define end-to-end test strategies and develop comprehensive regression test coverage.
  • You will help ensure high-quality firmware releases through systematic automated and scalable validation frameworks.
  • Additionally you will pioneer the integration of cutting-edge AI technologies into our QA ecosystem designing and deploying agentic AI systems and autonomous workflows to optimize test generation execution and defect analysis.
  • The primary focus is Client server-class EPYC CPUs with opportunities to also work on Instinct GPUs. We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds who bring curiosity technical depth and a commitment to innovation.

THE PERSON:
  • You are a pragmatic problem solver who enjoys digging into firmware and platform behavior building repeatable tests and collaborating to close bugs fast.
  • You think in terms of reproducible results and automation take pride in clear triage artifacts and communicate effectively with architects validation engineers and software teams.
  • You are forward-thinking and passionate about AI with a practical understanding of how to apply autonomous agents and intelligent systems to eliminate traditional QA bottlenecks.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Partner with firmware architects and validation teams to define platform level test strategies and coverage goals.
  • Define and implement platform-level end-to-end test flows that validate firmware functionality across boot and runtime.
  • Design and implement automation friendly regression tests and test harnesses that integrate with CI.
  • Architect build and deploy agentic AI workflows and autonomous QA agents to automate complex tasks such as end-to-end test case generation intelligent regression scoping and predictive failure analysis.
  • Develop and maintain AI-driven frameworks (including Retrieval-Augmented Generation RAG systems) to parse engineering specifications and automatically translate architectural requirements into actionable test cases.
  • Execute tests debug failures and collaborate with firmware developers to drive timely defect resolution.
  • Contribute to test strategy and coverage analysis with emphasis on system-level feature interactions and cross-domain dependencies.
  • Enhance test infrastructure to improve coverage execution efficiency and reporting/triage workflows.
  • Typical effort split: 40% firmware test design & development 40% execution & troubleshooting 20% AI infrastructure & agentic tool development.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
  • Minimum 4 years of relevant experience in firmware/software development validation or test development.
  • Hands on experience with SoC or system level bring up and low-level debugging.
  • Strong foundation in computer architecture and enterprise server platform features.
  • Practical experience writing test code and tools in C and/or C and scripting in Python Perl or Bash.
  • Demonstrated experience building or deploying AI applications specifically autonomous agents LLM-backed tools or RAG architectures applied to engineering or testing pipelines.
  • Experience or knowledge in one or more of the following areas is highly desirable (with emphasis on system/firmware development or testability):
o BIOS concepts (e.g. ACPI SMBIOS tables)
o RAS (Reliability Availability and Serviceability) features and validation
o Memory subsystem validation (DDR persistent memory error injection etc.)
o Power management and telemetry
o Platform security features (TPM SPDM Secure Boot RoT-based attestation etc.)
o Virtualization and firmware enablement (ACPI SR-IOV etc.)
o High-speed I/O validation (PCIe CXL)
o Sideband protocols (MCTP SPDM PLDM RDE etc.)

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
  • Bachelors or masters degree in related discipline preferred.
