- 8+ years of professional firmware development experience on complex SoC/ASIC platforms.
- Strong proficiency in C/C++ (C11 or later) with a solid understanding of low-level hardware interaction and system programming.
- Experience with real-time operating systems such as FreeRTOS, Zephyr, VxWorks, or ThreadX.
- Hands-on experience with high-speed interfaces like PCIe, DDR, SerDes, and Ethernet.
Responsibilities
- Design, implement, and maintain firmware across the product stack including bootloader, drivers, RTOS, and system services.
- Develop firmware specifications and define clear interface behaviors across system components.
- Profile, optimize, and validate latency-critical code paths to ensure strong performance and reliability.
- Collaborate with hardware, silicon, system software, and AI teams to define interfaces and support system integration.
- Debug and resolve complex system-level issues involving firmware and hardware interactions.
