• Design and integrate communication layers (Wi-Fi, SSH, UART, TCP/IP, MQTT, WebSocket) for seamless remote device control, OTA updates, and debugging.
• Design and develop intelligent hardware test fixtures and validation setups for embedded products.
• Interface with debug probes, serial interfaces, power control systems, and measurement instruments.
• Enable scalable and automated validation using UART, SPI, I2C, BLE, Wi-Fi, Modbus, or similar protocols.
• Develop intuitive GUI/CLI based tools that empower Validation teams to configure, execute, and monitor tests efficiently.
• Build advanced log analysis systems, real time dashboards, and automated reporting solutions.
• Create data driven tools for test analytics and faster root cause identification.
• Collaborate closely with Firmware, Hardware, and QA teams to drive automation and improve test coverage.
• Integrate validation tools with build systems, CI/CD pipelines, and release workflows.
• Continuously improve system scalability, reliability, and repeatability across lab environments.
• Design and develop modular, scalable test automation frameworks for embedded system validation.
• Build Python-based orchestration tools to control DUTs, lab infrastructure, and test execution at scale.
• Enable comprehensive testing strategies, including functional, regression, system, and stress testing.

Requirements

• 5–8 years of relevant experience in Verification and Validation, embedded systems, and tools development.
• Strong programming expertise in Embedded C/C++ and Python.
• Experience working with Linux and RTOS based systems (e.g., FreeRTOS or similar).
• Strong Python expertise in building test automation frameworks, device control systems, and lab tools.
• Proven experience developing internal engineering tools, platforms, or frameworks.
• Hands-on experience with hardware debuggers (e.g., JTAG).
• Practical experience with PCB handling and basic soldering.
• Hands on experience with embedded communication interfaces such as UART, SPI, I2C, USB, BLE/Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or Modbus.
