TL;DR · Embedded Real Time Critical Control Firmware Engineer

As an Embedded Firmware Engineer at the senior level within a dynamic silicon design group, you will play a pivotal role in developing and productizing advanced cellular SoCs for 5G/4G/multimode applications. Your responsibilities include designing highly optimized algorithms with strict real-time constraints, building validation frameworks, and contributing to pre-silicon emulation systems. You will leverage AI/ML tools to enhance productivity and work on system architectures that integrate these principles effectively. Essential skills encompass expertise in C and C++, knowledge of build and source code control tools, understanding of computer architecture, and familiarity with mainstream OS development and scripting languages like Python or Perl. Additionally, foundational knowledge in machine learning and deep learning is crucial for this role, which operates at the intersection of hardware and software interfaces in high-speed communication systems.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement highly optimized algorithms for power gating and tracking loops.
  • Develop validation frameworks to ensure the correctness of implemented firmware algorithms.
  • Assist in creating pre-silicon emulation systems for early-stage hardware verification.
  • Evaluate and integrate advanced tools for formal verification and testing processes.
  • Utilize AI/ML principles to enhance productivity and system architecture design.

What we're looking for

  • Proficient in designing and implementing highly optimized bare metal control firmware.
  • Experience in architecting system-level features for real-time critical control environments.
  • Strong understanding of computer architecture, especially HW/SW interfaces for high-speed communication subsystems.
  • Expertise in C and C++, compilers, build tools, and source code management systems.
  • Knowledge of AI/ML algorithms and deep learning architectures (CNNs, RNNs, Transformers).
  • Familiarity with using generative AI as a tool for design and implementation productivity.
