Embedded Software Engineer RTOS Post-Silicon Validation (Automotive Real-Time MCU)
Location: Pune / Bangalore India

Join the RISC-V Revolution!

Introduction:

We are looking for talented Embedded Software Engineers to join our Automotive MCU Platform Team, with a focus on RTOS-based Software Development and Application Verification Validation (AVV). You will be part of a growing team building MIPS RISC-V-based real-time processors and their associated software stack shaping the future of embedded control systems for automotive applications like EVs, ADAS, powertrain, and domain controllers.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute across the full silicon-to-software lifecycle, combining software engineering with post-silicon validation to ensure high-quality, safety-critical SoC solutions.

Here s what you can expect from us:

At MIPS now GlobalFoundries you ll be a member of a quick-growing team of technologists that are creating the industry s highest performance RISC-V processors. Small teams that are part of a non-compartmentalized structure you ll be able to understand and have an impact on the bigger picture. A great deal of autonomy, with support from some of the industry s most experienced CPU engineers. An unlimited growth path with the right skills, you can decide where you want to expand and grow in your role at MIPS. The opportunity to learn a great deal about the blossoming RISC-V architecture in cutting edge applications with industry leading customers.

What You ll Do:

- Develop embedded software components for RTOS-based SDKs, including:

- Low-Level Drivers (LLDs), HALs, RTOS abstraction layers, and BSPs





- Example/demo applications to showcase peripheral functionality and performance

- Support post-silicon validation (AVV) by:

- Creating validation test apps that reuse RTOS SDK components

- Bringing up first silicon and validating critical peripherals (ADC, PWM, CAN, LIN, watchdogs, etc.)

- Supporting automation of lab and CI-based test execution

- Collaborate across teams work closely with architecture, hardware, safety, and tools teams to align software with silicon capabilities and roadmap

- Contribute to reference software and tooling to aid customers in bootstrapping their own designs

- Analyse and debug complex issues using emulators, silicon, and debug tools like OpenOCD, J-Link, or Lauterbach

- Provide feedback into next-gen MCU architecture, based on software validation findings

- Contribute to the wider RISC-V software ecosystem, helping to ensure support for the architecture in various open-source projects

You Should Have:

- 3 6 years of hands-on experience in embedded systems software development

- Strong skills in C/C++ programming, with basic familiarity in assembly

- Good understanding of RTOS concepts (task scheduling, ISRs, semaphores, etc.)

- Experience debugging complex multicore systems, experience with debugging tools (OpenOCD, Segger J-Link, Lauterbach)





- Experience porting or developing on FreeRTOS, Zephyr, AUTOSAR OS, or similar platforms

- Familiarity with bare-metal development, memory-mapped IO, and driver development

- Experience in bring-up and debugging on real silicon or FPGA platforms

- Knowledge of automotive interfaces and protocols: CAN, LIN, SPI, I2C, UART

- Practical exposure to test automation, scripting (Python/bash), and version control (git)

Bonus Points for:

- Exposure to ASIL-D software development, ISO 26262 process, or safety validation

- Prior involvement in post-silicon AVV or hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test setups

- Familiarity with RISC-V architecture, instruction sets, and toolchains

- Experience developing or validating motor control, powertrain, or safety-critical firmware

- Knowledge of bootloaders, secure update, or system startup firmware

What You ll Get:

- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge RISC-V platforms with real industry adoption

- A fast-paced, engineering-driven environment with minimal red tape

- Mentorship from veteran CPU and embedded software engineers

- Direct involvement in building safety-critical systems from the ground up

- Exposure to a full-stack SoC development lifecycle: from pre-silicon to production-ready

- Flexible growth path whether you want to specialize deeply or lead in the future
