Embedded Technical Lead

Are you ready to lead the design and architecture of secure platforms and low-level hardware, driving innovation in firmware development, SoC bring-up, and advanced system libraries?

Responsibilities

• You will be involved with all phases of product development, from microarchitecture design through firmware architecture and development.
• At the design phase, you will be part of a team driving the architecture, design and development of the various sub-systems including UEFI firmware development of low-level hardware interfaces.
• You will be responsible for firmware level debug as part of end to end firmware development and debug.
• Take ownership of the requirements from a technical perspective as well as responsibility for the quality of the technical implementation.
• Actively shape the agile software development process.
• Evaluate functional requirements from user stories and expand them to include necessary technical aspects.
• Ensure the completeness, feasibility and testability of user stories by subjecting them to critical appraisal in a backlog refinement and scrutinizing them.
• Lead the development team and support them with design tasks.
• Represent the development team in meetings with stakeholders such as steering committees
• Ensure a high standard of quality by applying code reviews, pair programming, TDD and direct feedback loops while considering and improving best practices (e.g. code style guidelines, testing methodologies, security principles, provisions for high performance and resilience of the application).
• Work and learn together with experienced software developers from other development teams.

Qualifications

• Solid experience in firmware development or embedded software development in a multicore environment or hardware.
• Ability to see system level “big picture” to understand that the integrated firmware/system software aligns to architectural goals of product.
• Solid experience in programming in C/C++
• Experience with Python for scripting
• Experience with SoC bring-up, bootloaders, platform initialization, board support package development, peripheral drivers such as PCIe, I2C, SPI, USB, UART , OS primitives, memory management, scheduling, interrupts and multi-threading
• PCIe driver/firmware development in virtualized environment
• (RT)OS Scheduling and firmware development in multithreading SMP as well as in heterogeneous computing environment
• Good experience of system level debugging (including customer issues) with good understanding of managing and triaging production level issues
• Self-motivated and able to work independently
