About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Linux Test Automation Developer to play a key role in ensuring the quality and reliability of our next-generation silicon products.

In this position, you will be responsible for the end-to-end validation of Embedded Linux systems and BMC firmware, working at the intersection of hardware and software.

You will design automated testing environments and perform deep-dive analysis into kernel-level performance and stability.

Responsibilities:

- Environment Design: Develop, maintain, and execute QA environments specifically for testing Embedded Linux kernel and BMC firmware.

- Automation & Validation: Design and implement automated validation tests for kernel, drivers, and user-space components.

- Analysis: Perform comprehensive system performance, stability, and stress analysis on embedded platforms.

- Debugging: Analyze failures, debug kernel and user-space issues, and provide detailed root cause analysis.

- Collaboration: Work closely with development, firmware, hardware, and system teams to ensure high product quality throughout the lifecycle.

- Documentation: Document test plans, test cases, and validation results clearly and accurately.

Requirements

- Education: B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent.

- Core Skills: Strong proficiency in C/C++ with at least 5 years of hands-on experience.

- Linux Expertise: Solid experience with Linux user-space applications; experience with server-side applications is an advantage.

- Kernel Testing: Practical experience testing Linux kernel-level components (drivers, kernel modules, boot process).

- Embedded Systems: Experience working with embedded systems, boards, chips, and low-level hardware interfaces.

- Communication: Excellent communication and teamwork skills with the ability to work effectively in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

Advantages:

- Familiarity with BMC architectures and standards (e.g., OpenBMC, IPMI, Redfish).

- Experience with the Yocto build environment.

- Hands-on experience with laboratory equipment such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and JTAG.

- Strong debugging skills using tools such as gdb, strace, ftrace, perf, and kernel logs.
