Embedded Software Engineer

We're looking for colleagues to contribute to the architecture and design of various firmware components, including driver interfaces, system libraries needed for SoC bring-up, secure platform design and development, protocol and feature development of low-level hardware.

Responsibilities & Mission

• Work on firmware and embedded software development in multicore environments, with a focus on hardware and firmware security.
• Contribute to hardware and firmware architecture, design, and coding for solutions at scale.
• Lead or support SoC bring-up, including:

Security primitives, bootloaders, platform initialization, BSP development

Peripherals such as I2C, SPI, UART, and Ethernet

OS primitives, memory management, scheduling, interrupts, and multithreading

• Collaborate with multiple teams on root cause analysis, troubleshooting, and debugging to solve complex hardware/firmware interface issues.
• Participate in platform architecture and design from early concept through implementation.
• Contribute to specialized areas such as:
• AI Accelerator backend network controller firmware design and implementation
• Hardware accelerator software design and development
• CPU execution modes, coherency, memory protection, virtualization, and related concepts
• (RT)OS scheduling and firmware development in multithreaded SMP and heterogeneous computing environments

Qualifications & Skill Set

• Solid experience in software design and development with C/C++.
• Strong expertise in system software, operating system internals, and Linux/Windows device driver development.
• Hands-on experience in PCIe, host interface design, and platform bring-up for new hardware.
• Kernel debugging using tools such as WinDbg and GDB.
• Some experience with DevOps practices and tools (e.g., Azure DevOps or similar technologies).
• Proficient in scripting languages such as Python.
• Strong understanding of the interaction between system software, hardware architecture, and protocols.
• Solid knowledge of computer architectures, including processors, buses, and memory systems.
• Proven experience with firmware development, embedded systems, and hardware/firmware security.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills.
• Strong communication and collaboration abilities to work effectively across teams.
• Self-motivated and capable of working independently.
• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
