Original job description

Full-time

US I Canada I India or Hybrid

Nuvacore is building ground-up CPU silicon for next-generation compute workloads. We are seeking an experienced technical leader to head our CPU Software Validation Engineering organization, responsible for the strategy, architecture, and execution of software validation enabling next-generation processor platforms.

This role leads teams responsible for validating CPU firmware, operating system enablement, compiler toolchains, platform runtime software, and telemetry infrastructure across simulation, emulation, pre-silicon environments, and silicon hardware platforms.

The organization develops validation frameworks, automated testing infrastructure, and large-scale regression environments ensuring correctness, performance, reliability, and security of platform software across CPU architectures and operating system ecosystems.

You will work at the intersection of CPU architecture, silicon design, firmware development, operating systems, toolchains, platform software, and hardware validation, ensuring that system software enabling new processor capabilities meets the highest standards of quality and robustness.

The Role - Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership

Define and drive the software validation strategy for next-generation CPU platforms
Lead validation efforts across firmware, operating systems, toolchains, runtime libraries, and telemetry infrastructure
Develop scalable validation methodologies ensuring correctness and reliability of low-level platform software
Enable early detection of issues across firmware, OS, compiler, and hardware interactions through comprehensive validation frameworks
Diagnose complex cross-layer issues involving CPU microarchitecture, memory subsystems, firmware, operating systems, and platform hardware

Software Validation Architecture

Architect large-scale validation frameworks covering CPU firmware, operating system enablement, toolchains, and runtime software components
Design automated validation pipelines integrating simulation, emulation, virtualization, and silicon testing environments
Ensure validation coverage across functional correctness, performance, power management, reliability, and system security
Develop scalable regression infrastructure supporting continuous integration across large system software codebases

Platform Software Validation

Oversee validation of embedded firmware responsible for CPU initialization, memory configuration, and platform runtime services
Lead operating system validation efforts including kernel scheduling, memory management, interrupt handling, and device driver enablement
Validate compiler toolchains and runtime libraries to ensure correct code generation and optimal execution on CPU architectures
Ensure platform software compatibility across server, client, and embedded computing environments

Automation & Validation Infrastructure

Build and maintain automated testing infrastructure supporting large-scale validation of CPU platform software
Develop regression frameworks covering unit tests, integration tests, stress testing, and workload validation
Integrate validation frameworks with CI/CD systems to enable continuous software quality monitoring
Utilize telemetry, instrumentation, and tracing frameworks to diagnose performance and correctness issues

Silicon Bring-up & Debug

Support first-silicon bring-up and early platform validation through targeted software testing and debugging
Identify and resolve complex issues involving firmware, operating systems, compilers, and CPU hardware interactions
Partner with silicon validation and hardware teams to diagnose system-level issues across CPU, memory, and I/O subsystems

Team Leadership

Build, lead, and mentor a high-performance CPU software validation engineering organization
Establish validation processes, technical direction, and quality metrics aligned with silicon development schedules
Foster a culture of automation, quality engineering, and data-driven debugging
Collaborate with global engineering teams across firmware, operating systems, architecture, and platform validation

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner with CPU architecture, silicon design, firmware engineering, operating system teams, compiler teams, and hardware validation groups to ensure platform software readiness
Collaborate with internal and external ecosystem partners to validate operating system compatibility and software stack stability
Drive cross-team alignment ensuring software quality and readiness for product launch

What You’ll Own

Validation strategy and infrastructure for CPU platform software, including firmware, operating systems, toolchains, and runtime services
End-to-end software validation coverage across pre-silicon simulation, emulation platforms, and silicon hardware environments
Development of automated validation frameworks and regression infrastructure supporting large-scale software testing
Debugging and root-cause analysis of complex issues spanning firmware, operating systems, compilers, and CPU microarchitecture
Point-of-contact for platform software quality, validation readiness, and system-level debugging across CPU platforms

What Success Looks Like

Successful validation and software readiness for new CPU silicon generations
High-quality firmware and operating system enablement validated across diverse workloads and platforms
Robust automated validation frameworks enabling rapid identification of software and hardware integration issues
Reduced platform risk through early detection of cross-layer system bugs
A high-performing software validation engineering team delivering predictable validation coverage aligned with silicon development schedules

Requirements - Must Have

CPU architecture (x86, ARM, RISC-V, or similar)
Firmware and operating system interactions with hardware
System software validation methodologies and testing frameworks
Debugging complex cross-layer issues involving hardware and software

Additional Experience

Hands-on experience validating platform software for silicon products, including firmware, kernel software, and runtime environments
Extensive experience validating CPU power management, limits management, and DVFS mechanisms
Proven experience developing automated regression frameworks and validation infrastructure
Experience diagnosing complex issues spanning firmware, operating systems, compilers, and CPU hardware platforms
Experience supporting silicon bring-up and early hardware validation

Toolchain & development environment experience

Experience with development environments and tools including:

kernel modules
kernel boot process
process and thread scheduling
virtual memory and paging
interrupts and exception handling
system calls and synchronization primitives (spinlocks, mutexes, RCU)

Architecture expertise

Experience with x86, ARM64, or RISC-V ISA and ability to read and analyze compiler-generated and hand-written assembly

Communication

Demonstrated ability to communicate complex technical issues clearly through written reports, presentations, and verbal briefings to diverse audiences including engineering leadership

Requirements - Nice To Have

CPU Security & Platform Protection

Experience validating CPU security technologies including secure boot, root-of-trust, trusted execution environments, and confidential computing
Familiarity with platform security validation methodologies and vulnerability analysis

Boot & Firmware Technologies

Experience with modern boot technologies such as UEFI, ACPI, firmware update frameworks, and platform initialization flows
Experience validating firmware responsible for memory training, device initialization, and runtime platform services

Observability & Performance Analysis

Experience with tools and frameworks such as:

perf
eBPF
kernel tracing frameworks
platform telemetry and observability systems

Platform & Ecosystem Experience

Experience validating software across server, client, hyperscale, or high-performance computing platforms with emphasis on data center environments
Experience collaborating directly with CPU architecture teams to validate new processor capabilities
Prior leadership role in system software validation at a semiconductor or systems company

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
