Senior Hardware Functional Verification Engineer
About the job
We are looking for an experienced engineer to join our Wi-Fi team in Stockholm. This is a software role at the hardware-software boundary. Tasks include designing and writing the firmware that exercises our hardware's functions the way a customer's application would, using the documented registers and APIs to uncover issues and weaknesses.
You will develop firmware for pre-silicon FPGAs and prototype ASICs. Your work will ensure that every internal module meets the expectations of the customers who build on it. You will work with other teams in the Wi-Fi BU throughout the entire device lifecycle, from specification and prototype design to product release and beyond.
In this role you will also help build the team's verification infrastructure, including the software framework, libraries, and the automated build and run systems. You will propose and implement improvements across these areas.
You will plan your own work to meet team goals, and your results will directly influence the quality of our products.
The scope of our work ranges from register MMI semantics to the whole device(s) behavior in a wide variety of configurations, resulting in a deep and wide understanding of our devices over time.

Solid Git/jj, build systems, GNU binutils, GDB and the GCC toolchain
Daily Linux command-line use
Knowledge within Python, Shell scripting, Docker, SCons, Jenkins, VCS tooling
Hands-on experience with embedded debugging, electronics, communications protocols
Excellent skills in English
Personal Skills
The ideal candidate is analytical and curious, with a systematic approach to understanding complex technical challenges and getting to the root cause of problems. You enjoy digging into the details, questioning assumptions, and exploring how things work, while keeping the overall product quality and customer experience in mind. You take ownership of your work, plan effectively, and are comfortable working independently, while also enjoying close collaboration across teams and disciplines. Proactive and improvement-oriented, you look for better ways of working and contribute to continuously improving tools, processes, and product quality
