Responsibilities

The successful candidate is an experienced engineer who can lead complex test and debug efforts, turn recurring manual work into maintainable automation, and communicate findings clearly. They bring sound engineering judgment, collaborate across hardware and software boundaries, and help other engineers improve test quality and efficiency.
This role will guide the design and maintenance of regression and automation infrastructure, develop system tests and instrument-control workflows, analyze test results, and drive root-cause investigations. They will also mentor engineers and contribute to the team's long-term system test methodology.
Define test coverage and execute system-level testing across Ambiq MCU platforms and SDK releases. Architect, develop, and maintain the regression framework and test automation using Python or other scripting languages, including test orchestration, board and target control, result collection, reporting, failure triage, and integration with the team's CI or automation workflows.
Design, implement, and debug embedded test cases for MCU subsystems and peripherals, using C and assembly where appropriate.
Automate laboratory instruments and measurement workflows to support repeatable system characterization and regression testing; define reliable setup, control, data capture, and recovery behavior.
Improve test result storage, traceability, querying, and reporting so engineers can compare runs, identify trends, and investigate failures efficiently.
Lead complex system-level debug across firmware, drivers, SoC blocks, evaluation boards, and lab setups; document root cause, evidence, and recommended corrective actions.
Work with software, validation, architecture, and hardware teams to define test requirements, acceptance criteria, and coverage priorities for new features and platforms.
Support pre-silicon testing on FPGA or emulation platforms and post-silicon bring-up, validation, and regression on evaluation boards.
Mentor engineers on test design, automation, debugging, and laboratory practices; promote reusable tools and continuous improvement.
