Job description

HireArt is helping an on-demand, autonomous ride-hailing company hire a Firmware Validation Engineer to support validation, testing, and issue triage activities across embedded firmware and connectivity systems.

In this role, you’ll execute and expand validation efforts focused on audio, streaming, and connectivity features across both bench and in-vehicle environments. You’ll work closely with firmware, diagnostics, fleet support, and integration teams to identify defects, improve test coverage, support root cause analysis, and ensure high-quality feature releases for production vehicle systems.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on validation engineer with strong debugging skills, embedded systems experience, and a proven ability to drive issues from reproduction through resolution in fast-paced technical environments.

As a Firmware Validation Engineer, you'll:
  • Execute functional, integration, regression, and exploratory testing for audio and streaming features in bench and in-vehicle environments.
  • Develop new test cases, expand existing test suites, and maintain test documentation as features evolve.
  • Identify coverage gaps within existing validation suites and improve overall feature test coverage.
  • Reproduce defects, capture logs, analyze system behavior, and isolate root causes prior to escalation to firmware development teams.
  • Perform first-line triage for fleet-reported issues related to audio, streaming, and connectivity systems.
  • Partner with fleet support, diagnostics, firmware, and integration teams to investigate and resolve complex issues.
  • Manage defects through the full lifecycle in JIRA, including reproduction details, severity assessment, fix validation, and regression verification.
  • Maintain validation benches, diagnostic tooling, and in-vehicle test environments to support release readiness.
  • Collaborate with firmware leads, product managers, and integration partners to align on feature readiness, defect prioritization, and release quality.

Requirements

  • A bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related discipline
  • 8+ years of experience in firmware validation, embedded systems QA, or related validation engineering roles
  • Experience developing and executing test plans, test cases, and coverage expansion strategies for embedded or firmware products
  • Hands-on validation experience in at least one connectivity domain such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, LTE/5G, GNSS, or vehicle networking
  • Strong debugging and log analysis skills using tools such as Wireshark, DLT, ADB, Bluetooth/HCI traces, or similar diagnostic tools
  • Experience reproducing and isolating issues reported from production or field environments
  • Proficiency with Python scripting for automation, repetitive testing, or log parsing tasks
  • Comfortable working in Linux or Ubuntu environments
  • Strong experience with defect tracking and agile workflows using JIRA, Confluence, or similar tools
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and cross-functional communication skills

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience with in-cabin entertainment systems or media casting frameworks
  • Experience validating Bluetooth stack functionality, including pairing, A2DP, HFP, AVRCP, and interoperability testing
  • Background in wireless connectivity technologies and embedded communications systems
  • Prior experience supporting autonomous vehicle, robotics, or fleet-based environments

Benefits:
  • Pre-tax commuter benefits
  • Employer (HireArt) subsidized healthcare benefits (eligibility begins on the first of the month following 60 days of service)
  • Flexible Spending Account for healthcare-related costs
  • HireArt covers all costs for short- and long-term disability and life insurance
  • 401k package

Commitment: This is a full-time, ongoing contract position staffed via HireArt. It will be onsite and available to candidates who are local to the Foster City, CA area.

HireArt values diversity and is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States. Unfortunately, we are not able to sponsor visas or employ corp-to-corp.
