As a Senior Firmware Engineer in Microsoft Azure’s Firmware Center of Excellence (FW CoE), you will design and implement SystemC-based SoC models alongside the firmware that runs on them, accelerating bring-up, validation, and system integration for next-generation custom silicon. Your daily tasks include integrating hardware models into larger SOC simulations, writing low-level firmware and validation software, and debugging complex interactions using tools like GDB and simulation trace infrastructure. This role requires expertise in C, C++, Python, and SystemC, as well as knowledge of operating systems and scripting languages such as PowerShell. You will collaborate with experts across architecture, firmware, and validation teams to shape the future of cloud-scale custom silicon development at Azure.
