Senior Embedded / RTL Validation Engineer | 6-Month Contract | Remote (Europe) RTL Simulation | Semiconductor System Validation | Freelance / B2B I’m working on a new contract opportunity for an experienced engineer supporting the system validation of a semiconductor product. This isn’t a traditional firmware development role. The focus is on software-driven testing of hardware behaviour using RTL simulation, developing meaningful validation tests and improving an existing test framework. The work:
- Develop and execute hardware-focused tests using RTL simulation environments.
- Maintain and adapt an existing software test framework.
- Design system-level validation test cases and investigate unexpected behaviour.
- Work closely with technical stakeholders, taking ownership of delivery with minimal supervision.



What I'm looking for:
- Strong embedded software, FPGA/SoC verification or semiconductor validation experience.
- Practical experience developing and running tests against RTL simulations.
- Confidence working with test automation and maintaining verification frameworks.
- An engineer comfortable driving technical tasks independently.
- Duration: 6 months
- Start: ASAP
