We seek an experienced Firmware Engineer to lead the development of Embedded Controller (EC) firmware for notebooks, collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to design, implement, and deliver robust solutions. This role involves integrating EC firmware with other platform firmware, providing technical support to chip vendors and OEMs/ODMs, and working closely with hardware teams to review architecture and schematics. You will also develop test tools and automation alongside QA/Test architects and create documentation for partners. Ideal candidates hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science and have over five years of experience developing firmware in ARM Architecture and C/C++. Strong skills in low-level interfaces, Python scripting, and debugging embedded Linux environments are essential, along with expertise in Zephyr OS and Arm embedded architecture.
