Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware for HSIO and Data Transfer IPs, including firmware/hardware interfaces, register maps, and programming models.
- Debug firmware and IP issues across firmware, hardware, and RTL boundaries during simulation, emulation, bring-up, and system validation.
- Define and execute firmware validation strategies involving unit testing, firmware/RTL co-simulation, and regression automation.
- Develop Python-based tools and infrastructure for data collection, debugging, and validation test-plan execution.
- Support pre-silicon shift-left activities, IP enablement, first-silicon readiness, and critical-feature debugging with cross-functional teams.
- Support post-silicon bring-up, platform debugging, and firmware validation on silicon and customer platforms.
- Participate in code and design reviews, author documentation, mentor engineers, and lead technical discussions and initiatives.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong C/C++ programming experience for resource-constrained, bare-metal, or embedded firmware targets.
- Experience developing firmware against hardware register interfaces and bringing up firmware on simulation, emulation, FPGA, and silicon platforms.
- Extensive experience with ASIC and firmware debugging techniques and methodologies.
- Strong Python scripting skills for tooling, data processing, and automation.
- Experience with source control systems such as Git.
- Knowledge of physical and protocol levels of common high-speed interfaces, with PCIe and PC architecture knowledge an asset.
- Post-silicon board or platform-level debug experience, including clock and power delivery, sequencing, analysis, and optimization.
- Experience with protocol or logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and other common lab equipment is an asset.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, collaboration, leadership, mentoring, analytical, and independent task-completion skills.
Benefits
