• AI accelerator software stack.
• Python.
Education
• B.E. / B.Tech / M.E. / M.Tech in Computer Science, Electronics, or related discipline.
Project Experience
• Hands-on BSP/firmware/driver development against a virtual platform or VDK ahead of silicon availability.
Soft Skills
• Comfort operating in ambiguity before silicon/hardware is final.
• Strong hardware/software debugging mindset and close collaboration with the platform architecture team.
Valuable to Have
• Experience bringing up boot flows entirely on a virtual platform (Virtualizer/VDK) before first silicon.
• ARM or RISC-V bootloader development experience.
Expected Deliverables
• BSP, low-level firmware, and device drivers running on the virtual platform.
•Validated boot flows and software workloads executed against the VDK/VP.
Documented hardware/software interaction issues and debug findings.
