This role focuses on BIOS/UEFI, core firmware components, display, power, USB, and embedded controller (EC) validation, ensuring systems are production-ready for performance, power profiling, and battery life optimization. The engineer works closely with firmware development, hardware, OS, and platform teams to qualify firmware releases, identify issues early, and drive resolution through structured debugging and validation processes. Key Responsibilities Firmware & Feature Validation Perform end-to-end firmware validation across platforms, focusing on: Display validation (boot display, resolution switching, external display, panel initialization, GOP validation) Power feature validation (S0ix, S3/S4, sleep/resume, hibernate, idle power states) Validate firmware behavior across different system states including boot, shutdown, sleep, resume, and thermal transitions. Execute regression testing for firmware changes and new feature enablement.BSP Integration & Release Validation Support BSP integration and release cycles, ensuring firmware readiness for OS and platform teams. Perform BSP QA and validation, including: Display and USB subsystem validation Platform bring-up readiness checks Validate BSP stability using: System Pulse testing Extended run / stress testing Hours of Battery Life (HBL) scenarios Ensure systems meet quality gates to proceed with power profiling, performance tuning, and power experiments.Component Qualification & Firmware Stack Validation Qualify and validate core firmware components, including: BIOS / AMI UEFI Coreboot (where applicable) Embedded Controller (EC) firmware Power Delivery (PD) firmware Graphics Output Protocol (GOP) Graphics Firmware (GFW) Verify interoperability and hand-off between firmware layers (BIOS OS drivers). Validate firmware updates and version compatibility across components.Debugging & Issue Resolution Identify, isolate, and debug firmware-related issues using logs, firmware traces, and platform tools. Work closely with firmware developers and silicon vendors to root-cause issues and validate fixes. Track defects, validation status, and release readiness using defect management tools. Documentation & Reporting Create and maintain validation plans, test cases, and execution reports. Document known issues, workarounds, and firmware limitations. Provide clear validation sign-off recommendations for BSP and firmware releases.Required Skills & Experience Technical Skills Strong experience in firmware/BIOS/UEFI validation Hands-on knowledge of BSP validation and platform bring-up Understanding of: o Power management features and battery life optimization o Display pipelines and graphics firmware o USB subsystems and enumeration Experience validating EC, PD, GOP, and graphics firmware Familiarity with System Pulse testing, stress testing, and long-duration validation Strong debugging skills with logs, firmware tools, and platform diagnostics
