Job description

Nuvoton Technology Corporation America, based in Austin, Texas, is seeking an Embedded Firmware Validation Engineer to join our engineering team.

In this role, you will be responsible for validating Nuvoton’s embedded firmware and developing automated software and hardware testing systems for system‑level features on production platforms used by leading OEM customers. The position involves close collaboration with firmware, FPGA, and hardware engineers to ensure robust, production‑quality firmware behavior on complex systems.

Responsibilities

• Validate embedded firmware functionality on complex hardware platforms
• Design, develop, and maintain automated test frameworks and validation infrastructure
• Perform system‑level validation of firmware features, including system health monitoring, power‑management behavior, and platform flows such as boot and reset
• Debug firmware and system issues using hardware debug tools and lab equipment
• Collaborate closely with firmware engineers, FPGA engineers, and hardware teams to analyze issues and drive root‑cause resolution
• Participate in firmware release cycles by providing validation results, technical feedback, and risk assessment

Requirements

• BSc in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science
• Minimum 5 years of experience in embedded systems or firmware validation
• Minimum 5 years of experience with C programming
• Strong understanding of embedded firmware behavior and hardware–software interaction
• Experience with low‑level interfaces such as SMBus/I²C, SPI
• Overall skill level and system understanding comparable to a firmware / low‑level embedded engineer
• Hands‑on experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscope, logic analyzer, and other tools
• Ability to work independently, take ownership of validation tasks, and operate in a multi‑disciplinary engineering environment
