As a Mixed-Signal IP Firmware Engineer, you will join a multifaceted group focused on developing firmware in C to implement critical features for IPs inside SOCs. Your daily responsibilities involve interpreting technical specifications to understand various IPs while supporting post-silicon bringup, validation, performance characterization, system integration, and debugging. The role requires proficiency in C and assembly language with ARM CPUs, alongside a solid understanding of computer architecture, MCUs, and ISR. Preferred skills include experience with real-time operating systems, version control tools like git or Perforce, mixed signal concepts, and familiarity with RTL or Verilog. You will solve complex technical challenges by ensuring the seamless integration of hardware components into the system architecture, specifically focusing on the firmware layer for mixed-signal integrated circuits within a sophisticated System on Chip environment.

What you'll do

  • Develop firmware in C to implement critical features for IPs inside the SoC.
  • Analyze and interpret technical specifications to understand complex IP functionalities.
  • Support post-silicon bringup and validation of hardware components.
  • Perform performance characterization for integrated systems.
  • Execute system integration tasks across multiple hardware modules.
  • Debug firmware issues during the development and production cycles.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree in a technical discipline.
  • Minimum 10 years of relevant experience.
  • Proven excellence in firmware development using C and assembly language with ARM CPUs (preferred).
  • Solid understanding of MCUs, ISR, and computer architecture (preferred).
  • Experience with version control tools like git or Perforce (preferred).
  • Experience with real-time operating systems (preferred).
  • Understanding of mixed signal concepts (preferred).
