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

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree.
  • 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 (preferred).
