The Technical Leader- Diagnostics Software provides end-to-end ownership of the quality, coverage, and completeness of diagnostics software solutions for Client, Graphics, and Embedded products. This role involves highlighting project goals, strategies, and risks to architects while training software engineers to design new diagnostic cases. Key responsibilities include owning the SoC system level feature validation methodology, planning pre-silicon emulation strategies across Simnow, FPGA, and Emulation models, and leading the resolution of critical technical challenges and complex issue debugging. The position requires expertise in Linux environment programming, including device drivers, user space programming, shell scripts, and GCC/Clang toolchains. Candidates must possess a strong understanding of SoC architecture, x86 CPU architecture, and discrete graphics software development to identify critical areas for IP verification and hardware bug capture.

What you'll do

  • Provide end-to-end ownership of the quality, coverage, and completeness of Diagnostics software solutions.
  • Communicate project goals, strategies, risks, and requirements to stakeholders to create software test plans.
  • Study new features and IPs in next-gen SoC products to train software engineers on diagnostic case development.
  • Drive technical requirements to achieve feature coverage and hardware bug capture targets.
  • Own the SoC system-level feature validation methodology, including multi-IP use cases and power/performance evaluations.
  • Manage the Diagnostics pre-silicon emulation strategy across Simnow, FPGA, and Emulation models.
  • Lead the resolution of critical technical challenges, including complex issue debugging and root-cause analysis.
  • Improve feature coverage models, test time reduction, and development processes to drive innovation.

What we're looking for

  • BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering.
  • Significant firmware or software development experience with close interaction with hardware or product engineering teams (preferred).
  • Excellent understanding of SoC architecture, including processors, system IO, memory, engine IP, and security blocks (preferred).
  • Strong system-level debugging and testing skills with the capability to provide robust solutions (preferred).
  • Strong Linux environment programming knowledge, including device drivers, user space programming, and shell scripts (preferred).
  • Rich knowledge of x86 CPU architecture and programming skills, or strong discrete graphics software development (preferred).
  • Experience with BIOS, GPU, PCIe, DDR, PMU, or RAS firmware development (preferred).
  • Hands-on experience with SoC emulation and bring-up (preferred).
