About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to develop low-level firmware and platform software for next-generation SoCs/ASICs. You will work across the product lifecycle, from pre-silicon enablement to post-silicon bring-up, collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality embedded software.

Key Responsibilities
Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware for SoCs/ASICs.
Develop bootloaders, BSPs, device drivers, and Hardware Abstraction Layers (HAL).
Develop pre-silicon firmware for simulation, emulation, and FPGA platforms.
Support silicon bring-up, board bring-up, hardware validation, debugging, and production enablement.
Develop and optimize firmware for performance, power, memory, and reliability.
Debug hardware/software issues using JTAG, GDB, Lauterbach, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
Collaborate with hardware, validation, verification, and architecture teams.
Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and technical documentation.
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to subsystem development.




Utilize AI-powered tools to improve development productivity and documentation.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
6–10+ years of embedded firmware/software development experience.
Strong programming skills in Embedded C and Python.
Experience with bootloaders, BSPs, device drivers, HAL, and RTOS (FreeRTOS/Zephyr).
Knowledge of ARM/RISC-V architectures and interfaces such as SPI, I2C, UART, USB, and Ethernet.
Robust debugging skills using JTAG, GDB, Lauterbach, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
Experience with silicon/board bring-up and hardware-software integration.
Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
Preferred
Experience with simulation, emulation, or FPGA-based development.
Familiarity with CI/CD, Git, and AI-powered development tools.
