TL;DR · Wireless SOC FW Engineer

As a Wireless SoC Firmware Engineer, you will join our dynamic and vertically integrated engineering team responsible for developing cutting-edge, energy-efficient wireless silicon solutions. Your role involves working closely with the firmware and software teams to ensure high-quality bring-up and testing of System on a Chip (SoC) devices. Day-to-day responsibilities include crafting system-level APIs and firmware functionality, resolving issues during product and interoperability testing, implementing new features in protocol stacks and device drivers, and supporting initial chip and product bring-up efforts. You will need expertise in embedded software development using C and assembly languages, familiarity with ARM CPUs and RTOS, experience with low-level driver implementation on FPGA and SoC platforms, and knowledge of wireless communication standards like Bluetooth, WLAN, or UWB at the MAC/PHY level.

What you'll do

  • Develop system-level API and firmware functionality to meet product requirements.
  • Resolve issues during product and interoperability testing with test and protocol stack teams.
  • Implement new features in wireless protocol stacks, device drivers, and diagnostics.
  • Support SoC design team for initial chip and product bring-up efforts.
  • Collaborate with the Software Engineering team to ensure firmware quality for manufacturability.

What we're looking for

  • Strong background in embedded software development using C and assembly languages.
  • Experience in low-level driver development and hardware bring-up on FPGA and SoC platforms.
  • Familiarity with ARM CPUs and real-time operating systems (RTOS).
  • Knowledge of wireless communication standards like Bluetooth, WLAN, or UWB at MAC/PHY levels.
  • Ability to write diagnostics, manufacturing tests, and protocol compliance test software.
  • Experience in power optimization implementation and debugging in firmware.
