TL;DR · Embedded Real Time Critical Control Firmware Engineer

As an Embedded Real Time Critical Control Firmware Engineer at the senior level within a 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, implementing power gating techniques, tracking loops, and physical layer procedures based on specifications. You will also build validation frameworks to ensure the reliability of your work and assist in creating pre-silicon emulation systems for firmware design and hardware verification. This role demands expertise in bare metal control firmware development, system architecture, and mainstream OS application-level programming with Python or Perl scripting. Additionally, a strong foundation in machine learning and deep learning is essential, including experience with AI/ML algorithms like CNNs, RNNs, and Transformers, as well as using generative AI to enhance design processes.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement highly optimized firmware algorithms for power gating, tracking loops, and physical layer procedures.
  • Develop validation frameworks to ensure the correctness of implemented real-time critical control algorithms.
  • Assist in creating pre-silicon emulation systems for firmware design and hardware verification.
  • Utilize AI/ML principles and tools to enhance productivity and system architecture development.
  • Lead feature delivery throughout the entire firmware/software lifecycle, ensuring timely productization.

What we're looking for

  • Experience designing and implementing bare metal control firmware optimized for cycles and memory.
  • Deep understanding of differences between software platform and highly constrained firmware environments.
  • Experience leading feature delivery throughout the entire firmware/software lifecycle.
  • Strong foundation in machine learning and deep learning, including ML algorithms and architectures.
  • Ability to use AI/ML as a tool for improved productivity and design implementation.
  • Familiarity with 5G and 4G 3GPP protocols and wireless communications preferred.
