Platform Test Multimedia

Your Role

As a Platform Test Multimedia Interoperability Validation Engineer, you will ensure seamless compatibility of USB, Display, and Charger devices across the Windows ecosystem. You will execute endtoend device interoperability tests, manage a diverse hardware inventory, define test plans, and collaborate with engineering teams, OEMs, and silicon partners to improve user experience and ecosystem reliability.

In this role, you will:

• Validate USB, TypeC, PD charging, DisplayPort/HDMI, Thunderbolt, hubs, docks, and charger interoperability on Windows devices.
• Test scenarios like enumeration, alternate modes, display topology, PD negotiation, MST, and sleep/resume reliability across multiple hardware and Windows builds.
• Manage and maintain the device inventory, track lifecycle, and source new peripherals aligned with emerging standards.
• Define test matrices and collaborate with PM and Automation teams to prioritize scenarios and build automated suites.
• Perform debugging across USB/PD stacks, display pipelines, drivers, and firmware using traces, logs, and dumps.
• Work with OEMs, silicon vendors, and device manufacturers to reproduce, analyze, and close issues.
• Stay updated with USBIF, VESA, HDMI, and Thunderbolt specifications and validate against new protocols.
• Provide datadriven insights to influence Windows feature design and compatibility policies.

Your Profile

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 4+ years of experience in hardware validation, device interoperability, or I/O subsystem testing.
• Strong handson experience with USB (2/3/4), TypeC, PD negotiation, DisplayPort/HDMI, and Thunderbolt.
• Solid understanding of firmware (EC, BIOS/UEFI), drivers, Windows OS I/O paths, and power management.
• Skilled in debugging using USB/PD analyzers, protocol sniffers, and Windows log analysis.
• Experience with Windows HLK/HCK, certification workflows, and scripting (Python/PowerShell) is a plus.
• Knowledge of signal integrity, altmode negotiation, display topologies, and ARMbased platforms is beneficial.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and problemsolving skills.
