What's in it for you?
Our client offers an exciting, challenging role in a collaborative, dynamic environment. The right person will find many career growth opportunities in their company, whether you want to advance your technical skills or aspire to leadership in the future.

## Description

Our client is expanding their engineering team and is looking for a Senior Firmware Engineer to contribute to the development of embedded software supporting advanced semiconductor solutions.
In this role, you will work on low level firmware development, closely interacting with hardware components and system architecture. You will collaborate with hardware, architecture, validation and software teams to ensure reliable firmware design and enable high performance products.
A key focus for this role is dynamic thermal management, DTM. The team is not only looking for someone who can read temperature sensors, but someone who understands and can develop the logic and algorithms behind thermal control. This includes deciding when a system should throttle down, when it can return to normal performance, and how power or performance should be adjusted based on temperature and hardware behavior.
Location: Barcelona, Spain - Hybrid
Responsibilities:
As a Senior Firmware Engineer, your broad responsibilities will include but are not limited to:
Design and develop embedded firmware solutions
Perform firmware verification and validation
Work closely with hardware teams to support system level integration
Debug and optimize firmware for performance and stability
Contribute to automation workflows and tooling for firmware development
Collaborate with teams across hardware, software, architecture and validation
Develop or support dynamic thermal management logic
Work on firmware behavior related to temperature, power and performance
Define or implement throttling and recovery logic
Support system behavior decisions based on hardware conditions
Work close to Linux drivers, BSP, PCIe devices and hardware bring up
