Project Role : Silicon Firmware & Embedded Engineer
Project Role Description : Write the software that powers and operates a silicon chip. Develop pre-silicon firmware and software with a direct interface to hardware. Integrate and develop C tests/APIs and software build flow. Perform design and code reviews. Test and validate product implementations.
Must have skills : Embedded C
Valuable to have skills : NA
Minimum 5 year(s) of experience is required
Educational Qualification : 15 years full time education

Summary:
As a Silicon Firmware and Embedded Engineer, a typical day involves writing and developing software that directly controls and operates silicon chips. This role includes creating firmware before silicon fabrication, integrating tests and application programming interfaces, and managing the software build process. The engineer actively participates in design and code reviews to ensure quality and collaborates closely with hardware teams. Testing and validating product implementations are key activities,



ensuring that the software functions seamlessly with the underlying hardware components throughout the development lifecycle.
