As a Firmware Engineer at Broadcom ECD, you will join our dynamic firmware team to design, develop, debug, and test embedded firmware for advanced networking and networked-storage products. Your daily tasks will include firmware implementation, testing, and error-recovery support for 64G FC/NVME HBA products, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams across multiple sites. You should have experience in C/Assembly programming, real-time OS environments, protocol analyzers, and storage/network protocol development in Linux. Ideal candidates possess strong debugging skills, particularly with In-Circuit Emulation (ICE) debuggers, and are proficient in ARM-based high-performance firmware development or eager to learn. Excellent communication and documentation skills are crucial for articulating test results to the team and OEM clients.
