Job Summary

Staff Engineer to drive post‑silicon validation of CPU cores using virtualization. You will stress core microarchitecture with virtualized workloads, collaborate with design, uCode/FW, BIOS, and platform teams to root‑cause silicon issues, and contribute to automation for large‑scale virtualization tests across Linux and Windows.

Location: Bengaluru

Workplace: Onsite

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Product Management

Key Responsibilities

•Execute post‑silicon cores validation using virtualization‑based workloads and scenarios
•Configure, deploy, and debug workloads on hypervisors (KVM, VMware, Hyper‑V, Xen) across Linux and Windows environments
•Design and run VM‑based stress tests (migration, pause/resume, overcommit, multi‑VM contention, long‑run soak, reset scenarios) to expose core‑level bugs
•Analyze system failures and triage issues spanning core microarchitecture, uCode, FW, BIOS, DF/UMC, and platform interactions
•Correlate failures using logs, MCA, MSRs, debug hooks, and limited post‑silicon observability

Key Requirements

•Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
•Strong hands‑on experience with virtualization technologies and hypervisors (KVM, VMware ESXi, Hyper‑V, Xen)
•Solid understanding of x86 CPU architecture and core microarchitectural concepts
•Experience in Linux internals (scheduler, memory management, interrupts) and system‑level debugging
•Familiarity with post‑silicon validation, silicon bring‑up, or system validation
