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
