We are looking for a Senior Embedded Software, Firmware & Driver Engineer to build and own low-level software across a wide range of processors, accelerators, and custom silicon.

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
