TL;DR · Wireless SOC FW Engineer

As a Wireless SOC FW Engineer, you will join the wireless silicon development team to focus on hardware and system bring-up, drivers, network stacks, and supporting internal teams within the wireless SoC group. You will be responsible for crafting and implementing embedded software for System on a Chip bring up and test while collaborating with product software teams to provide system-level APIs and firmware functionality. Your daily work involves implementing new features for wireless protocol stacks, device drivers, and diagnostics, as well as assisting with initial chip and product bring-up efforts. The role requires expertise in C and assembly languages, ARM CPUs, RTOS, and scripting in Python, Perl, or Tcl. You will address technical challenges involving power optimization and industry standards such as Bluetooth, WLAN, or UWB at the MAC/PHY level.

What you'll do

  • Develop and implement embedded software for System on a Chip (SoC) bring-up and testing.
  • Create system-level APIs and firmware functionality to meet specific product requirements.
  • Implement new features for wireless protocol stacks, device drivers, and diagnostic tools.
  • Support the SoC design team during initial chip and product bring-up efforts.
  • Resolve technical issues arising from product and interoperability testing with protocol stack teams.
  • Ensure software quality for manufacturability in collaboration with the Software Engineering team.
  • Implement power optimization techniques and perform related debugging within the firmware.
  • Develop manufacturing tests and protocol compliance test software.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree and 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Strong background in embedded software development using C and assembly languages, familiarity with ARM CPUs and RTOS (preferred).
  • Experience performing low-level drivers and HW bring-up/validation on FPGA and SoC Silicon hardware platforms (preferred).
  • Experience writing scripts in Python, Perl, or Tcl (preferred).
  • Experience implementing diagnostics, manufacturing tests, and protocol compliance test software (preferred).
  • Experience with power optimization implementation and related debugging in firmware (preferred).
  • Experience with wireless communication standards like Bluetooth, WLAN, or UWB at MAC/PHY level and FW implementation (preferred).
