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, and network stack support. 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 API functionality. Your daily work involves implementing new features for wireless protocol stacks, device drivers, and diagnostics, as well as supporting the SoC design team during initial chip and product bring-up efforts. The role requires proficiency in C and assembly languages, familiarity with ARM CPUs and RTOS, and experience with Python, Perl, or Tcl scripts. You will work on technical challenges involving power optimization, manufacturing tests, and wireless communication standards such as Bluetooth, WLAN, or UWB at the MAC/PHY level.

What you'll do

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

What we're looking for

  • Strong background in embedded software development using C and assembly languages.
  • Familiarity with ARM CPUs and RTOS.
  • Experience performing low-level drivers, hardware bring-up, and validation on FPGA and SoC Silicon platforms.
  • Experience writing scripts in Python, Perl, or Tcl.
  • Experience implementing diagnostics, manufacturing tests, and protocol compliance test software.
  • Experience with power optimization implementation and related debugging in firmware.
  • Experience with wireless communication standards such as Bluetooth, WLAN, or UWB at the MAC/PHY level.
  • Bachelor's degree.
