Platform Software Validation Engineer

(ECUs). In this role you will develop and perform hands-on post-silicon bench testing on microcontrollers

validating Real-Time Drivers (RTD) the System Timer Module (STM) integrated automotive Ethernet

chipsets and bootloaders.

You will own the end-to-end definition and execution of test methodologies designed to comply with ISO

26262 ASIL functional safety requirements while optimizing real-time network stack throughput. You will

architect automated test frameworks primarily controlled via Python frameworks with flexibility to develop

target-side test code in C C or Rust. Your expertise in embedded systems and automotive industry

knowledge will help ensure the quality and reliability of our software solutions.

What youll do...

* Post-Silicon Bench Testing & Hardware Validation

o Execute bench-level validation on physical silicon evaluation boards and custom

automotive ECUs.

o Configure and validate hardware peripherals specifically focusing on the System Timer

Module (STM) memory protection units and interrupt controllers.

o Integrate and verify PHY/switch drivers validating high-speed automotive Ethernet

transceiver performance under varied environmental conditions.

o Bootloader & Flash Validation: Architect and execute test strategies for

primary/secondary bootloaders validating secure boot sequences (cryptographic

signature verification) flashing routines via UDS (ISO 14229) over CAN/Ethernet and

dual-bank OTA roll-back mechanisms on microcontrollers.

* Driver & Performance Verification

o Validate Real-Time Drivers (RTD) for bare-metal and AUTOSAR runtime environments.

o Benchmark network stack throughput and latency using network testing utilities like iperf

CANoe and hardware packet generators.

o Analyze complex communication layers including TCP/IP SOME/IP and DoIP over

automotive Ethernet interfaces.

* Functional Safety & Test Automation

o Design implement and maintain automated regression test frameworks controlled via

Python scripts.

o Develop target-side test applications in C C or Rust when bare-metal deterministic

execution or strict memory safety verification is required.

o Author V&V test specifications mapped directly to safety goals to ensure compliance

across various safety levels (ASIL B to ASIL D) in alignment with ISO 26262 Part 6.

o Utilize advanced lab instrumentation (digital oscilloscopes logic analyzers) and

debuggers to capture signals and isolate physical-layer anomalies.
