Design and implement low-level SoC firmware and silicon firmware libraries. Own firmware for one or more IPs/subsystems from architecture through production. Work with silicon architects to define firmware/HW interfaces and initialization flows. Develop reusable, modular firmware APIs and frameworks. Develop and debug boot, initialization, reset, error handling and recovery flows. Participate in pre-silicon validation and first-silicon bring-up. Perform system-level debugging across firmware, hardware and software boundaries. Analyze complex failures using logs, telemetry, register state and hardware debug tools. Work closely with architecture, RTL/DV, validation, security, platform firmware and driver teams. Drive issues independently from reproduction through RCA and resolution. Improve firmware quality through unit tests, validation automation and reusable test infrastructure. Mentor engineers and influence technical design within the feature/subsystem area. Doctorate in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 1+ year(s) technical engineering experience OR Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 4+ years technical engineering experience OR Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 5+ years technical engineering experience OR equivalent experience. 7-10 years of industry experience in firmware design, development and productization, preferably including several years on server-class platforms. Strong understanding of SoC architecture, particularly server-class SoCs. Experience implementing microarchitecture (Arm and x86), firmware design and design verification. Deep expertise in one or more of these domains: management and user cores, security IPs and flows, boot sequences, and IP-level silicon firmware library development. Strong experience in pre-silicon validation using simulation and emulation platforms such as FPGA, ZeBu and Palladium. Hands-on experience with silicon bring-up and post-silicon validation. Strong SoC debug expertise, including required hands-on experience with tools such as JTAG, Arm Development Studio (Arm DS) and Lauterbach TRACE32. Experience in ATE (automated test equipment) environments and initial wafer bring-up. Knowledge of platform and security firmware, such as Arm TrustZone. Good understanding of operating system driver development for Linux and Windows. Experience leading a small team of engineers.
