Senior Technical Architect

Job Description

Senior Technical Architect

Hyderabad, Telangana

Job Summary

Own integration and system-level validation for ARM-based SoC platforms - building the automated test framework, hardware-in-the-loop lab and regression strategy that qualify every release across BSP, multimedia, connectivity, AI and update stacks.

Key Responsibilities

• Define the integration and system validation strategy - test plans, entry/exit criteria, coverage mapping and release qualification gates.
• Build and maintain automated test frameworks (Python/pytest, LAVA, Robot Framework or equivalent) covering functional, stress, stability, longevity and power-cycle testing.
• Set up and operate hardware-in-the-loop lab infrastructure - device farms, relay-controlled power, serial/JTAG capture, automated flashing and recovery.
• Integrate test execution into CI/CD so every build is automatically flashed, validated and reported.
• Own regression suites and triage - reproduce, isolate and root-cause failures across the whole stack, then route defects with actionable evidence.
• Validate cross-domain scenarios: concurrent camera + video + inference + connectivity workloads under thermal and memory pressure.
• Build result dashboards, quality metrics, flakiness tracking and release readiness reporting for stakeholders.
• Drive test coverage for OTA, secure boot, recovery and field-failure scenarios; mentor engineers on test engineering practice.

Skill Requirements

• 8-10 years in embedded system validation, integration or test automation engineering.
• Strong Python for automation frameworks; ability to read C and debug at platform level.
• Proven ownership of automated test frameworks and CI integration (Jenkins, GitLab CI or equivalent) for embedded targets.
• Hands-on lab automation - device flashing, power control, serial console capture, instrument control.
• Systematic defect triage across kernel, drivers, middleware and applications using logs, traces and crash dumps.
• Test design discipline - requirement traceability, coverage analysis, risk-based prioritization.
• Experience validating multi-domain platforms rather than a single feature area.

Other Requirements

Good-to-Have Skills

• LAVA, Labgrid, pytest-embedded or similar embedded test infrastructure.
• Performance, power and stress test automation.
• Connectivity or multimedia domain test experience with specialized instruments.
• Certification or compliance test campaign experience.
• Test result analytics, flakiness detection and dashboarding.
