Full Description

Role Overview

We are looking for a skilled Virtualization / Validation Engineer with strong experience in Xen Hypervisor, Embedded Linux, automotive platforms and test automation. The candidate will be responsible for validating multi-VM environments, operating systems, hardware interfaces, boot flows and automotive IVI features.

Key Responsibilities

Perform Xen hypervisor and multi-VM validation across Android, Yocto and FreeRTOS. Validate virtio devices, hardware passthrough, Linux kernel, drivers and bootloaders. Test Safe Linux, Android Automotive OS (AAOS), Yocto and FreeRTOS/SafeRTOS. Validate graphics, display, audio, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay features. Perform boot optimization, power-state, secure boot and system recovery testing. Develop and automate test suites using Python, C/C++ and Shell scripting. Debug system-level issues across hypervisor, OS, kernel and hardware layers. Integrate automated tests into Jenkins/GitLab CI pipelines.

Mandatory Skills

Strong experience in Xen Hypervisor and multi-VM virtualization. Embedded Linux, Yocto, Android Automotive OS or FreeRTOS. Programming skills in C/C++, Python and Shell scripting. Linux Kernel, device drivers, bootloaders and SoC fundamentals. Test automation using PyTest or custom Python/Shell frameworks. Experience with Jenkins/GitLab CI.

Good To Have

Automotive IVI and SoC validation experience. virtio, UART/I2C/SPI passthrough and graphics validation. FreeRTOS/SafeRTOS, secure boot and automotive safety workflows.
