About Us:

Innatera is a rapidly growing Dutch semiconductor company that develops ultra-efficient neuromorphic processors for AI at the edge. These microprocessors mimic the brain’s mechanisms for processing fast data streams from sensors, enabling complex turn-key sensor analytics functionalities, with 10,000x higher performance per watt than competing solutions. Innatera's technology serves as a critical enabler for next-generation use cases in the IoT, wearable, embedded, and automotive domains.

Our team is looking for an experienced Staff Embedded Software Engineer with deep expertise in bare-metal embedded software development. You will be working close to hardware on complex mixed-signal SoCs. In this role, you'll help design, implement, and validate low-level firmware and verification platforms that are critical to the performance and reliability of our chips.

We will trust you with:

  • Developing software architectural design, implementing, maintaining and testing up to medium-scale embedded software components (e.g. complex device drivers, drivers that manage a small set of simple devices or other software systems of equivalent complexity);
  • Debugging and resolving complex issues in embedded systems, and performing root cause investigations for bugs utilizing tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and hardware debuggers;
  • Planning software development activities for a small technical team (1 - 2 members), breaking larger work packages into tasks and estimating effort ensuring planned items are delivered on time and at the required quality;
  • Providing consultation on development strategy and assert related risks and technical gaps as early as possible;
  • Promoting best engineering practices and demonstrating sufficient knowledge and expertise in own developments and by providing feedback on fellow engineers’ work;
  • Designing and implementing verification platforms for all stages of product verification (IC verification, embedded software verification);
  • Developing requirements for embedded software components of all complexity levels;
  • Implementing and maintaining tests for embedded software (e.g. embedded test programs, scripts);
  • Collaborating with engineers of different disciplines in requirements and design activities of embedded software (e.g. application development, hardware development);
  • Proposing improvements on development processes and strategies;
  • Consulting less experienced engineers, providing coaching and training in selected areas of embedded software development.

Your experience includes:

  • MSc or BSc degree in electrical engineering, computer science or equivalent;
  • 8+ years of experience in Embedded Software development with the C programming language;
  • Experience in HIL testing for embedded targets with a hardware debugger or other tools;
  • Good understanding of and basic development skills in assembly language for RISC architectures, especially RISCV;
  • Good understanding of Digital and Analog Design concepts and experience with Integrated Circuit development processes, such as tapeout and bring-up;
  • Experience with formal architectural design techniques, tools and notations;
  • Experience with Continuous Integration platforms and test automation;
  • Experience working with Python;
  • Experience with Version Control Systems, especially Git and Gitlab;
  • Familiarity with Machine Learning concepts, Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Neural Networks;
  • Knowledge of analog and digital electrical circuits;
  • Knowledge of bootloaders, Boot ROM development, and secure boot processes.

What you need to succeed:

  • Exceptional analytical skills and attention to detail;
  • Good organizational, planning, documentation and technical leadership abilities;
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams;
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet tight deadlines.
