Position Overview We are looking for a highly skilled Linux OS BSP QA Engineer to join our platform software quality team. In this role, you will be responsible for validating and ensuring the reliability, stability, and performance of Linux-based Board Support Packages (BSPs) running on Supervisor Boards in modular switch chassis systems. You will work closely with software developers, hardware engineers, and system validation teams to deliver production-quality embedded platforms for next-generation networking products. Responsibilities Develop and execute test plans, test cases, and automation for Linux BSP and low-level software components (bootloader, kernel, drivers, and system services). Validate hardware bring-up, board initialization, and platform-level software integration (e.g., EEPROM, CPLD, I2C, SPI, UART, PCIe, sensors, and watchdog). Perform functional, regression, and performance testing on supervisor boards across various hardware revisions. Work with developers to triage and root-cause BSP, kernel, and driver-level issues using tools like dmesg, strace, perf, crash, and serial console logs. Automate test execution and result collection using Python, Shell scripting, or Robot Framework in both lab and CI/CD environments. Validate bootloaders (U-Boot, UEFI) and OS upgrade flows, including field upgrade and fail-safe mechanisms. Collaborate with hardware and system teams on thermal, power, and reliability validation at the BSP layer. Maintain test infrastructure, including automation servers, DUT (Device Under Test) setup, and network topology configurations. Support release qualification, test documentation, and signoff for BSP and OS drops prior to system-level integration. Required Qualifications Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field. 5-10 years of experience in embedded software QA or platform validation, preferably in networking or telecom equipment. Strong understanding of Linux kernel, device drivers, and bootloader architecture. Hands-on experience with BSP bring-up, low-level debugging, and peripheral validation. Proficiency in Python and Shell scripting for automation and test frameworks. Familiar with lab equipment such as serial consoles, power analyzers, oscilloscopes
