Job Title: Trace and Debug Architect

Experience Level: 12–15 years in Embedded Systems / Silicon Firmware

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Trace and Debug Architect with deep hands-on expertise in silicon bring-up, low-level debugging, and advanced trace methodologies. The candidate will own the strategy and execution of trace, debug, and post-silicon validation flows for complex SoCs and automotive-grade ECUs. This role demands proficiency with JTAG, ETM, CoreSight, and industry-standard debug tools, as well as the ability to collaborate closely with silicon, hardware, and firmware teams to diagnose and resolve intricate system-level issues.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and implement trace/debug strategies across SoC subsystems (CPU, GPU, ISP, PCIe, DDR, CAN, Ethernet, etc.).
  • Lead silicon bring-up and low-level hardware/software co-debug activities using JTAG, SWD, and trace tools.
  • Configure and utilize ARM CoreSight, ETM, STM, and trace infrastructure for runtime visibility and performance analysis.
  • Drive debug methodology using Lauterbach, Segger, or equivalent emulators; oscilloscopes and logic analyzers for board-level analysis.
  • Analyze crash dumps, core traces, and performance logs to root-cause issues spanning silicon, firmware, and board domains.
  • Partner with silicon architects, verification, and board design teams to define trace/debug requirements early in the design cycle.
  • Collaborate with firmware and driver teams to integrate trace hooks, debug registers, and diagnostics frameworks.
  • Support post-silicon validation, performance tuning, and issue triaging across automotive and high-performance Compute platforms.
  • Establish best practices, debug flows, and documentation for cross-functional teams and customer support.
  • Provide mentorship to engineers on advanced debug methodologies and tool usage.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • 12–15 years of experience in embedded systems or silicon validation, with strong focus on trace and debug.
  • Deep expertise in JTAG, SWD, CoreSight, ETM, STM, Trace32, Lauterbach, and related tools.
  • Strong proficiency in C/C++ and scripting (Python/Perl) for debug automation and log analysis.
  • Proven track record in silicon bring-up, post-silicon validation, and hardware-assisted debugging.
  • Solid understanding of ARMv8 architectures, memory systems (DDR, Flash, PCIe), and SoC subsystems.
  • Exposure to automotive standards (ISO 26262, AUTOSAR) and field debug flows.
  • Familiarity with interconnect protocols (PCIe, MIPI, CAN, Ethernet) and performance monitoring units.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills in cross-domain (hardware/software/system) debug environments.
  • Ability to collaborate across silicon, hardware, software, and validation teams in a global setting.

Education

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, or related field.
