Lead AVV Engineer

Change the world. Love your job.
About Team:
ASM Auto Group develops safety-compliant automotive MCUs for EV, HEV, traction inverters, onboard chargers, BMS, and body and chassis control. We are at a pivotal moment in automotive technology, and this role offers a chance to work on cutting-edge MCUs with real-world impact. If you want to solve complex technical challenges in fast-growing segments, we encourage you to apply.
Position Overview:
We are seeking an experienced AVV technical leader with 5+ years of pre-silicon and post-silicon functional validation experience to own subsystem-level validation strategy for automotive MCUs. You will define functional validation methodology, lead complex root-cause investigations, drive functional bring-up on silicon, and make evidence-based silicon readiness recommendations. You will work as a technical peer with Architecture, Design, RTL Verification, and Firmware teams.
Key Responsibilities:
Own functional validation strategy and sign-off for complex subsystems (e.g., Ethernet MAC, functional safety, clock/reset/power, multicore interactions)
Define requirements-to-test traceability, functional coverage closure criteria, and sign-off readiness
Architect reusable validation frameworks spanning emulation platforms and silicon test environments
Lead first-silicon functional bring-up and silicon functional test execution
Lead complex root-cause analysis across firmware, RTL, emulation models, and silicon
Validate cross-peripheral interactions with DMA, interrupts, clock switching, and low-power transitions
Lead fault-injection campaigns and functional safety validation evidence (ISO 26262)
Define pre-silicon to post-silicon correlation and test reuse strategy
Architect and maintain automation and CI/CD-integrated regression infrastructure
Define and own performance and benchmarking strategy, including throughput, latency, and timing-margin target.
Lead resolution of customer-reported issues through reproduction and root-cause analysis
Define fix or workaround recommendations for customers and drive them to closure
Lead validation reviews and provide sign-off recommendations
Mentor engineers and drive continuous improvement in methodology and tooling
Minimum requirements:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, ECE, Computer Engineering, or related field
5+ years of engineering experience working with silicon design and/or validation
Experience with digital/embedded design on emulation/FPGA platforms/RTL simulation
Preferred Qualifications:
Work experience with ARM architecture
Advanced embedded C and firmware architecture knowledge
MCU/SoC architecture understanding (multicore, coherency, boot, power domains)
Expert-level peripheral validation, including complex interactions and error recovery
Emulation platform experience (QuickTurn, Palladium, ZeBu) and test infrastructure design
RTL and waveform debugging for SoC-level issues
Deep understanding of ISO 26262, AUTOSAR, and CAN FD / LIN / Ethernet
Functional safety subsystem validation and safety-case evidence
Complex DMA and bus (arbitration, ordering, timeout) validation
SystemVerilog and advanced RTL debugging
Track record of building and mentoring validation teams, or publishing technical work
Excellent technical communication and documentation skills
