Description

  • Contribute to the design and implementation of embedded firmware architecture, including boot flows, HAL components, drivers, and system services.
  • Develop low-level firmware in C/C++ and assembly for CPUs, DSPs, and microcontrollers in custom SoCs.
  • Implement and maintain bootloaders, secure boot flows, and early hardware initialization sequences.
  • Develop device drivers for on-chip peripherals such as DMA engines, memory controllers, interconnects, SerDes, ADC/DAC interfaces, timers, and GPIO.
  • Participate in pre-silicon firmware development and validation activities.
  • Support post-silicon bring-up, including power-on sequencing, clock/reset initialization, memory bring-up, and peripheral testing.
  • Debug hardware and firmware interactions using JTAG, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, trace tools, and custom instrumentation.
  • Collaborate with SoC architects and designers to refine register maps, memory maps, interrupt structures, DMA flows, and debug infrastructure.
  • Provide firmware input during design reviews and silicon development milestones.
  • Bring up and integrate RTOS or bare-metal environments.
  • Support integration with higher-level system software or application processors.
  • Implement robust error handling, logging, and recovery mechanisms.
  • Contribute to manufacturing test firmware, production firmware, and field diagnostics.
  • Help ensure firmware remains maintainable and scalable across multiple SoC generations.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in embedded firmware development for SoCs or complex embedded systems.
  • Strong proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems and a solid understanding of low-level hardware interactions.
  • Hands-on experience with SoC bring-up or board-level bring-up.
  • Strong understanding of CPU architectures such as ARM or RISC-V, memory systems, interrupts, DMA, and low-power states.
  • Experience collaborating with ASIC/SoC design or hardware engineering teams.
  • Demonstrated ability to debug complex hardware and firmware issues.
  • Experience with secure boot, hardware security modules, or cryptographic accelerators is preferred.
  • Familiarity with pre-silicon environments such as RTL simulation, emulation, or FPGA prototyping is preferred.
  • Experience with high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, JESD, or SerDes is preferred.
  • Background in satellite communication, networking, compute, automotive, or other high-reliability systems is preferred.
  • Experience developing firmware for radiation-tolerant or mission-critical systems is preferred.
  • Must be a U.S. person or otherwise eligible for a federally issued export control license.

Benefits

  • Base salary range of $160,000 to $220,000 plus equity in the company.
  • Comprehensive benefits package.
  • Paid time off.
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage.
  • Life insurance.
  • Paid parental leave.
  • Additional perks and benefits.
  • Reasonable accommodation available during the application and interview process.
