You will work across CPUs, MCUs, DSPs, NPUs, TPUs, and custom ASICs, developing firmware, boot flows, device drivers, and board-support packages (BSPs). The role spans early silicon and board bring-up through stable, scalable deployment, with a strong emphasis on correctness, performance, reliability, and maintainability.

What you’ll do

-Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware and device drivers for a wide range of processors and accelerators, including ARM Cortex-M, Cortex-R, and Cortex-A; DSP cores (e.g., Tensilica); NPUs, TPUs, GPUs, and custom accelerators
-Lead chip, SoC, and board bring-up from first power-on to production readiness
-Develop and maintain BSPs, bootloaders, and low-level system software
-Write and debug device drivers for peripherals and interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, USB, PCIe, Ethernet; GPIO, PWM, timers, DMA, watchdogs; sensors, cameras, storage, and custom hardware blocks
-Develop firmware for RTOS-based systems and Linux-based platforms
-Integrate firmware and drivers into a larger production software stack
-Debug complex system-level issues across hardware, firmware, kernel, and user space
-Optimize for performance, latency, memory footprint, power, and reliability
-Collaborate closely with hardware, silicon, systems, and application teams to define interfaces and requirements
-Establish and follow best practices for embedded software development, testing, documentation, and code quality
-Support validation, manufacturing, and field issues with root-cause analysis and fixes

Required Qualifications

-Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
-7+ years of experience in embedded software, firmware, or driver development
-Strong hands-on experience with bare-metal and RTOS-based firmware development; Linux kernel, device drivers, and system bring-up
-Experience working across multiple processor architectures and cores (MCUs, CPUs, DSPs, accelerators)
-Deep understanding of embedded systems fundamentals: boot flows, interrupts, memory hierarchies, caches, MMUs; concurrency, synchronization, and real-time constraints
-Strong proficiency in embedded programming languages: C and C++; Assembly (at least at a debugging / bring-up level); Python and scripting for tooling, automation, and testing
-Experience with hardware bring-up, debugging, and validation
-Ability to read schematics, datasheets, and silicon reference manuals
-Experience delivering production-quality embedded software
