Firmware Engineer II

## About the role You will contribute to the architecture and design of various firmware components, including driver interfaces (PCIe, SPI, I2C, I3C), system libraries needed for SoC bring-up, protocol and feature development of low-level hardware. You will be contributing to all phases of product development, from design through manufacturing and productization. Perform system-level debugging and troubleshooting to identify and resolve complex hardware/firmware-related issues. Collaborate with cross-functional teams including hardware architects and engineers, software developers, validation & integration and product managers to define firmware requirements and specifications. Stay up to date with industry trends and advancements in cloud firmware technologies and provide recommendations for improvement. ## Requirements * Bachelors or higher in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or similar. * 4+ years of professional experience in firmware development or embedded software development in a multicore environment. * Solid understanding of computer architectures including processors, buses, and memories. * Demonstrated experience of hardware and firmware architecture, design, and coding for solutions at scale. * Experience with SoC bring-up, platform initialization, board support package development, peripherals such as PCIe, I2C, SPI, USB, UART, OS primitives, memory management, scheduling, interrupts and multi-threading. * Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills. * Experience working with multiple teams on Root cause analysis, troubleshooting, and debugging skills resulting into solving complex Hardware/Firmware interface issues. * Self-motivated and able to work independently. * Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams. * Experience with working from early concept of Platform Architecture & design. ## Nice to have * Prior experience of working in one or more of the following areas: * Hardware accelerator software design and development * CPU Execution modes, security model, cache, coherency * Memory management and protection * Interrupt controller * Virtualization * Other related concepts * Platform initialization, board support package Development & integration * Low level drivers for peripherals such as I2C, I3C, eMMC, SPI, USB, UARTs etc * RAS, Debug, Logging (RT)OS * Scheduling and firmware development in multithreading SMP as well as in heterogeneous computing environment
