## About the Role

What We Need to See: + B.S. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience. + 8+ years of professional firmware development experience on complex SoC/ASIC platforms. + Strong proficiency in C/C++ (C11 or later), with solid understanding of low-level hardware interaction and system programming. + Experience with real-time operating systems (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, VxWorks, ThreadX) and/or bare-metal firmware. + Hands-on experience with high-speed interfaces (PCIe Gen3/4/5, DDR4/5, SerDes, Ethernet) and common peripheral buses (SPI, I²C, UART, CAN). + Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across hardware/software boundaries.
Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd: + Experience with firmware for AI/ML hardware or datacenter-scale systems. + Proven ability to deliver high-quality firmware in complex, cross-functional environments. + Experience with system bring-up, validation, and performance tuning. + Familiarity with firmware testing frameworks and automation. + Ability to navigate ambiguity and drive effective technical solutions.

## Description

What You'll Be Doing: + Design, implement, and maintain firmware across the product stack (bootloader, drivers, RTOS, and system services). + Develop firmware specifications and define clear interface behaviors across system components. + Profile, optimize, and validate latency-critical code paths to ensure strong performance and reliability. + Collaborate with hardware, silicon, system software, and AI teams to define interfaces and support system integration. + Debug and resolve complex system-level issues involving firmware and hardware interactions. + Contribute to system bring-up, validation, and continuous improvements in firmware quality and robustness.
