TL;DR · Senior Systems Design Engineer

Sr. Systems Design Engineer joins the CGC-Tools team to develop and sustain advanced debug infrastructure for client, graphics, and custom product lines. This role involves designing and maintaining tools for JTAG hardware, Automated Debug Systems, memory bring-up, scan infrastructure, and microprocessor-based debug. The engineer will build Python libraries for data capture, create firmware specifications, manage QA automation via CI/CD pipelines, and develop Kubernetes containers to execute debug services. Key responsibilities include collaborating with IP and firmware teams to instrument debug data into mission mode firmware and ensuring secure data transport. The role requires expertise in JTAG, Python, C, Java, JavaScript, Linux, USB, and BIOS. This position solves critical technical challenges in silicon lifecycle management, including bring-up, validation, and customer debug for complex systems-on-chip across various product lines.

What you'll do

  • Design and maintain tools for JTAG hardware, memory bring-up, and scan infrastructure.
  • Develop Python libraries to capture debug data and evaluate the health of IP blocks.
  • Create firmware specifications for future silicon debug features and in-chip microcontrollers.
  • Build and monitor automated QA execution of debug tools using CI/CD pipelines.
  • Develop distributed applications for Automated Debug Systems (ADS) and containerized tools.
  • Collaborate with hardware and firmware teams to integrate debug data into mission mode firmware.
  • Support customer-facing debug workflows and ensure secure transport of debug data.
  • Develop software for JTAG devices and manage the release of external tool software.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
  • Expertise in software, firmware, or hardware debug systems.
  • Proficiency in Python, C, Java, and JavaScript programming languages.
  • Experience with JTAG hardware tools and system-level debugging methodologies.
  • Knowledge of x86 systems, SoC internal architecture, and BIOS.
  • Familiarity with Linux, USB protocols, and platform design.
  • Experience with Kubernetes containers and CI/CD pipelines for automated QA execution.
  • Strong analytical problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.
