As a Prototyping Design Software Engineer at Specs Inc., you will join the SoC prototyping team as a senior-level engineer, responsible for porting complex SoC RTL onto FPGA, HAPS, and ZeBu platforms to enable early firmware software development. Your daily tasks include building pre-silicon platforms that support key interfaces like eMMC, LPDDR, PCIe, and more, while also developing low-level embedded software for bring-up and validation. You will debug hardware/software issues across multiple targets and collaborate with RTL, verification, system software, and infrastructure teams to ensure seamless integration. Proficiency in C/C++, familiarity with ARM Cortex architectures, and experience with FPGA prototyping platforms like HAPS and ZeBu are essential. This role demands strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment, contributing to the development of cutting-edge SoC validation tests at pre-tapeout stages.
