DSP Validation Engineer (ARM) · REQ3017

Perform ARM core and/or DSP validation across different processor/DSP configurations. Develop and execute validation test plans for processor and DSP features. Work with DSP toolchains, including compilation, assembly, linking, debugging, and execution flows. Hands-on experience with Xtensa toolchain and compilation/debugging environment. Validate custom DSP instructions, including TIE (Tensilica Instruction Extension) instructions. Validate and debug VFPU/vector and floating-point instructions and associated execution behavior. Develop instruction-level, functional, integration, and regression test cases. Analyze test failures, debug issues at C, assembly, and instruction level, and identify root causes. Develop validation automation using Python and scripting frameworks. Work with Embedded C for developing test applications, test cases, and low-level validation code.
