Role Posting Log in to save

The Firmware Memory Engineer joins the Memory IO team to support the pre-silicon and post-silicon development of high-speed LPDDR, DDR, and inter-chip IO IPs. This role involves the definition, design, and productization of Memory PHYs and interface IP, specifically focusing on microarchitecture, firmware/hardware co-design, and algorithm design. Key responsibilities include firmware design for DDR PHY and DRAM training steps, ATE testing, and SoC power. The engineer will perform pre-silicon coding against architectural models and conduct post-silicon lab bring-up and optimization. Required skills include proficiency in C, C++, and Python, along with knowledge of Verilog, SystemVerilog, and digital simulation. Candidates must understand computer architecture, synchronization techniques, and hardware clocking while utilizing laboratory equipment like oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.

What you'll do

  • Design and develop firmware for DDR PHY and DRAM training steps.
  • Develop firmware for DDR PHY to support ATE testing, IP characterization, and SoC power.
  • Write pre-silicon firmware code and perform simulations against architectural and RTL models.
  • Execute post-silicon lab bring-up and optimize DDR initialization and run-time firmware.
  • Enhance post-silicon DDR training to improve link reliability and frequency margins.
  • Define features and specifications in coordination with SoC and product firmware teams.

What we're looking for

  • Experience in firmware design and development for DDR PHY and DRAM training steps.
  • Experience in pre-silicon firmware coding and simulation against architectural and RTL models.
  • Experience in post-silicon lab bring-up and optimization of DDR init and run-time firmware.
  • Post-silicon experience developing firmware on real hardware.
  • Excellent knowledge of C, C++, and scripting languages like Python (preferred).
  • Good knowledge of Verilog/SystemVerilog and digital simulation debug (preferred).
  • Strong understanding of computer organization/architecture (preferred).
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering (strongly desired).
