System Software Validation Engineer at Intel Corporation, May 2022 - Nov 2024 · 2 yrs 7 mos, Bangalore Urban, Karnataka, India, Throughout my tenure, I developed and executed comprehensive validation plans for system software, ensuring functionality and performance aligned with design specifications. I conducted post-silicon Power-ON validation and debugging to address hardware and software interaction issues while performing in-depth regression and performance testing to maintain software stability. With extensive knowledge of the software testing and development lifecycle, I effectively managed defect tracking and resolution through systematic approaches. I analyzed test results and documented defects, delivering actionable feedback to stakeholders for timely resolution. Collaborating with cross-functional teams, I gathered requirements and defined validation strategies for complex systems, facilitating strong stakeholder communication to ensure alignment and engagement. I designed and implemented a scalable automation framework for non-functional manual validations, reducing execution time, workforce, and costs by 40%. Additionally, I developed a dashboard for domain-specific health indicators, enabling domain owners to monitor features, test results, and bug statuses effectively. I created a structured approach to automate test case execution, allowing users to analyze results and collaborate with the debugging team. Furthermore, I built a standalone application for modifying BIOS settings, enhancing the POWER-ON stage, and developed a Python application for remote BIOS adjustments, optimizing lab space and reducing inventory costs. I implemented a test plan comparison tool to consolidate change history across platforms and created a tool for verifying inventory requirements, achieving a 35% cost reduction by utilizing existing stock. My efforts also included establishing a placeholder for the automation dashboard to provide quick updates on Windows, Chrome, and Linux operating systems.
