SW/FW QA Automation Engineer

Firmware Test Engineer

At Meta Reality Labs, Meta develop hardware devices which run custom firmware and software. The Hardware, Firmware and software are continuously updated and tested in the lab to identify bugs, reliability or performance issues. As a Firmware Test Engineer at Meta Reality Labs, Redmond, WA, you will ensure the delivery of a high-quality software and platforms for RL product lines. You will be responsible for building and executing test plans and test cases across multiple products and platforms while working with engineering teams to identify and resolve defects. You should be detail-oriented engineer, with experience testing great software products and improving engineering efficiency. You will also debug issues across the hardware and software stack including consumer electronics devices, mobile apps and web.

Responsibilities:

• End-to-end software/firmware test infrastructure development to support testing of power-management, boot loaders, scheduling, RTOS and/or bare-metal implementations, and host tools.
• Participate with the team on testing approach and ensure test coverage across a wide range of technologies and areas -- including unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and regression testing.
• Review software, firmware, hardware, and IP architectures to ensure testability and evaluate integration risk.
• Develop software and related tools to automate testing of a large variety of devices and interfaces from host side tools to low-level embedded systems.
• Support all phases of development – including early architecture requirements definition for custom silicon, firmware architecture, implementation, simulation, FPGA debug, chip bring-up and support systems and software teams.
• Proficient in troubleshooting an issue and identify the root cause and raise defects and work closely with cross functional teams (Development and Infrastructure)

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 2+ years of software and test experience with at experience related to embedded systems.
• Familiarity with data acquisition systems and diagnostic equipment, such as oscilloscopes, bus analyzers, and power supplies.
• Knowledge of software testing methodologies including CI/CD.
• Proficient Python programming.
• Experience providing clear communications and work well with cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with integration and testing for a complex system.
• Experience with low level operating systems, RTOS, UBOOT, or other bare-metal programming.
• Experience coding with peripherals such as UART, SPI, CSI-2, i2c, GPIO, USB, PCIE.
• Experience in real-time processing for computer vision and user interaction tasks, high-compute/throughput systems.
• Experience with FPGA and hardware evaluation boards, EDA design tools, and/or ISA simulators.
• Experience with C/C++ for embedded systems.

Skills Required: OS (Windows, Linux), RTOS, UBOOT, (C, C++ Preferred), FPGA, UART, SPI, CSI-2, i2c, GPIO, USB, PCIE, CI/CD, Jenkins, Python, PyCharm

Top Skills: OS (Windows, Linux), RTOS Python, CI/CD FPGA, UART, SPI, CSI-2, I2C, USB

Additional Information: Candidate will gain lots of knowledge and experience into Meta product and tools specifically AR Glasses which are under prototypes. Candidate should be very proactive to work and on top of it, candidate should be very proficient in Python with Embedded device background.
