JOB TITLE: Staff Software Engineer — SubSystem Integration Test (SSIT)
As part of the AISW engineering team, you will serve as the software system integration test engineer for the Delegates portfolio, including ONNX Runtime, ExecuTorch, and TFLite/LiteRT. You will own subsystem-level validation during feature development, partnering with engineers to define test strategies, acceptance criteria, and automated test content. Your daily work involves building Python/PyTest-based test suites, validating on-device behavior on Snapdragon SoCs using HIL infrastructure, and performing root cause analysis across the ML framework, QNN runtime, and HTP hardware. You will utilize tools like JIRA, Jenkins, and GitHub Copilot to manage defects and accelerate coverage analysis. This role solves the technical challenge of ensuring functional correctness, latency, and numerical accuracy for machine learning inference frameworks before they transition to downstream QA.
