THE ROLE:

We are looking for a Senior Manager to lead System Validation for BIOS, Firmware and Driver validation activities across our embedded product portfolio. This role will provide hands-on technical leadership, drive validation coverage, strengthen test planning and execution discipline, and ensure timely visibility to critical issues, risks and customer-impacting defects. The leader will work closely with development, silicon IP enablement, silicon validation, platform and customer-facing teams to ensure validation readiness, reduce test escapes and improve engineering effectiveness through scale and AI-driven initiatives.

THE PERSON

  • A strong technical validation leader with deep understanding of system-level validation across BIOS, firmware, drivers and platform software stacks.
  • Demonstrates ownership in defining validation coverage, test strategy, execution governance and defect triage for complex silicon and platform programs.
  • Builds trusted networks across client and server ecosystems, development teams, silicon IP enablement teams and validation organizations to improve end-to-end product readiness.
  • Balances technical depth with people leadership, helping the team grow in capability, execution maturity, collaboration and customer orientation.
  • Brings a continuous improvement mindset with the ability to drive scale, automation, traceability and AI-enabled productivity across validation workflows.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Provide technical leadership for system validation activities covering BIOS, firmware and driver validation across assigned embedded programs.
  • Define and drive the right validation coverage by partnering with architecture, development, silicon IP enablement, silicon validation, platform and customer enablement teams.
  • Own test management discipline including validation planning, test readiness, execution tracking, completion governance and timely reporting of progress, gaps and risks.
  • Drive first-level triage for critical issues by ensuring structured debug data collection, clear ownership alignment, prioritization and timely handoff to the appropriate development teams.
  • Establish strong collaboration forums with BIOS, firmware, driver, silicon IP, silicon validation and platform teams to close coverage gaps and improve defect discovery earlier in the lifecycle.
  • Build and maintain technical connects in the client and server spaces from which the group leverages devices, ecosystems, validation methodologies and learnings.
  • Reduce validation escapes through improved test strategy, coverage analysis, defect trend reviews, regression rigor and disciplined exit criteria.
  • Support customer escalations and critical field issue triage as required, ensuring responsiveness, technical clarity and coordinated execution across engineering owners.
  • Lead team development by coaching engineers and leads, improving technical depth, strengthening ownership behaviors and building succession for key validation areas.
  • Drive scale initiatives across validation execution, including automation, reusable test assets, consistent dashboards, traceability from requirements to tests, and execution efficiency improvements.
  • Champion AI initiatives that improve test planning, coverage mapping, traceability, execution tracking, defect analytics, reporting quality and validation productivity.
  • Partner with program management and engineering leadership to provide accurate status, risk visibility, decision points and recovery plans for validation milestones.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

  • 20+ years of industry experience with 8+ years of exposure with people management roles
  • Experience leading system validation, post-silicon validation, platform validation, BIOS validation, firmware validation or driver validation teams for complex silicon or platform products.
  • Strong understanding of validation lifecycle, test plan development, coverage definition, test execution governance, defect management, regression strategy and exit criteria.
  • Hands-on familiarity with BIOS, UEFI, firmware, drivers, platform initialization, silicon bring-up, debug flows and system-level validation environments.
  • Experience collaborating with silicon IP enablement, silicon validation, firmware, BIOS, driver, platform, architecture and customer-facing teams.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead issue triage, drive technical discussions, identify ownership, escalate risks and close critical defects with urgency.
  • Experience with customer escalations, field issue debug, escape analysis and corrective action planning.
  • Working knowledge of test management tools, defect tracking systems, coverage dashboards, automation frameworks and traceability practices.
  • Experience applying automation, data analytics or AI-assisted methods to improve validation planning, execution tracking, reporting or defect insights.
  • Prior people management experience with demonstrated ability to hire, coach, develop and retain high-performing validation engineers and leads.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to present validation status, risks, technical issues and execution plans to engineering and business leadership.

Academic Credentials

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or a related technical discipline.
  • Equivalent industry experience in system validation, firmware, BIOS, driver, silicon validation or platform engineering will be considered.
