Job Details: Job Description: If you are someone who enjoys keeping things interesting and thinking on your feet, continue reading because there will be no two days alike hereon. We are seeking a highly skilled Firmware Validation Engineer with proven experience in validating complex FPGA user flows on pre‑silicon and/or post‑silicon platforms. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in firmware/embedded software testing, strong analytical skills, and a passion for delivering high‑quality products. This candidate is expected to pivot validation strategy to focus on embedded (FPGA) customer use-cases to validate real‑world scenarios on embedded (FPGA) platforms. This role focuses on end‑to‑end system behavior, ensuring that integrated hardware, firmware, drivers, and applications work seamlessly together under practical operating conditions. You will translate user workflows and usage scenarios into structured test cases, uncover system-level issues, and collaborate across engineering teams to deliver reliable, production-ready embedded solutions. Successful candidate will be part of the Altera Software and IP Solutions (SIPS) Team. Why this Role Matters? Use-case testing is where the real-world behavior of the device is validated. You will play a critical role in ensuring that the product behaves reliably not only in lab conditions but in actual customer environments—making this role essential to product success. If you aspire to grow into a leader in embedded and especially in FPGA systems and software ecosystem, this is the role for you. Key Responsibilities   Firmware Component, System and User Acceptance Validation   Develop comprehensive validation plans, test strategies, and test coverage matrices for embedded firmware and system-level functionality based on but not limited to FPGA firmware and hardware specifications, requirements from marketing/product planning team, and more importantly from deep diving into customer usage scenarios and use conditions  Analyse product requirements, customer workflows, and functional specifications to derive end‑to‑end use cases  Define acceptance criteria and validation coverage for each use case  Design, implement, and successfully execute automated test cases   Perform regression testing, functional testing, stress testing, negative testing, and integration testing and end-to-end customer use-case testing    Debug & Root Cause Analysis   Diagnose, reproduce, and root-cause complex firmware/system issues  Triangulate failures across firmware, software, and hardware boundaries  Work with firmware engineers, hardware designers, and system architects to root-cause issues  Track defects, document findings, and drive issue resolution to closure  Collaborate closely with firmware, hardware, and architecture teams to isolate defects and drive resolution  Automation & Infrastructure   Develop or enhance automation frameworks using Python, Perl or scripting tools  Improve log collection, test orchestration, and result reporting systems  Contribute to continuous integration/continuous validation (CI/CV) infrastructure  Maintain test equipment, lab setups, and test environments  Documentation & Reporting   Provide detailed test reports, defect logs, and validation summaries  Document test procedures, configuration details, and validation outcomes  Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, and release readiness evaluations  Bachelor's/Master's or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related field  At least 8-9+ years of experience hands-on experience in firmware or embedded system validation.   Strong understanding of embedded systems, microcontrollers, SoCs, and low-level firmware architecture and software stack layers  Proficiency in Python scripting and at least one programming language (C/C++)  Familiarity with Git, Jira, Jenkins, or other version control & CI/CD systems  Qualifications: Bachelor's/Master's or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related field  At least 8-9+ years of experience hands-on experience in firmware or embedded system validation.   Strong understanding of embedded systems, microcontrollers, SoCs, and low-level firmware architecture and software stack layers  Proficiency in Python scripting and at least one programming language (C/C++)  Familiarity with Git, Jira, Jenkins, or other version control & CI/CD systems  In addition to these skills, one or more of the following skills will be an added advantage  Experience validating FPGA-based systems or pre-silicon environments  Experience with security/cryptography validation (secure boot, key management), TPM, or credential workflows  Experience with Linux kernel/driver-level testing  Experience in automotive, industrial, or safety-critical embedded systems  Job Type: Regular Shift: Shift 1 (Malaysia) Primary Location: Penang 15, Penang, Malaysia Additional Locations: Posting Statement: All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, religious creed, sex, national origin, ancestry, age, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, military and veteran status, marital status, pregnancy, gender, gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by local law, regulation, or ordinance.
