About the position

As a Python Automation Engineer at UST, you will play a crucial role in the development of Python automation scripts aimed at validating Datacentre Server SoC products during emulation and post-silicon bring-up. Your primary responsibilities will include executing validation test plans, debugging SoC feature issues, and maintaining the validation infrastructure. You will be expected to integrate test cases with the automation framework and create a functional test suite, ensuring that coding standards and quality requirements are met throughout the process. In this position, you will participate in test automation development review meetings to discuss new testing strategies and peer review automated scripts developed by your team. You will also conduct system-level automation execution tasks, which involve running automated scripts on simulated models, evaluation environments, and post-silicon platforms. Collaboration with the customer team will be essential to meet deadlines in test development and execution, and you will be responsible for publishing daily and weekly status reports. Your role will require a deep understanding of firmware features and the associated test cases to validate them effectively. You will automate test cases by programming and develop test automation content based on existing or new test cases. Additionally, you will identify, verify, and document automation procedures for product/IP features, ensuring that automated scripts are delivered for use on pre-silicon, emulation, and post-silicon platforms. This position is dynamic and may involve other relevant essential functions as required by the organization.
