JD: Job Description: [BootROM Verification Engineer]

BootROM is a crucial firmware component in AMD/Xilinx SoCs, responsible for loading the first-stage boot loader. Unlike standard ROMs, this BootROM is more complex in nature. Its key responsibility includes establishing the Root of Trust using advanced security algorithms for authentication and confidentiality. Examples of these algorithms include RSA, ECDSA, AES, and others.

The primary responsibility is the validation of BootROM, which includes the following tasks:

• Develop and execute test cases to validate all boot peripherals from where the FSBL (First Stage Boot Loader) is copied. Example: xSPI, SD, eMMC, UFS, USB
• Create and execute test cases to validate all proprietary boot sequences.
• Develop and execute test cases to validate all internal boot modes.
• Write and run test cases to validate all supported authentication algorithms.
• Develop and execute test cases to validate all supported encryption/decryption algorithms.
• Automate tests using Python.
• Perform testing on prototyping/emulation platforms, including X86 emulation.
• Identify, document, and track issues using JIRA.
• Report coverage metrics using tools such as Verdi, and add tests to ensure maximum source line coverage.
• Review requirements and create associated test cases to ensure traceability.
• Collaborate with different teams to resolve any blockers.
• Engage in constructive discussions with the design team to improve the quality of the BootROM.
• Conduct security threat analysis using internal tools.
• Adhere to safety processes while performing the above tasks.
