- System software validation methodologies and testing frameworks
- Debugging complex cross-layer issues involving hardware and software
More about this role
At NUVACORE we're designing a new general-purpose CPU core for the sustained, intensive demands of AI infrastructure and agentic computing, not the workloads of the past. 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...
