Functions & Responsibilities

• You will design embedded software architectures for new electronic products ranging from microcontroller-based solutions to heterogeneous application processing systems.
• You will work with open source communities such as Linux and Zephyr to integrate low level drivers, firmware, and other embedded enablement into these open source communities.
• You will participate in hardware/software co-design activities for new device development
• You will create/define the appropriate API’s and abstraction layers that allow the software architecture to scale across a wide portfolio of products.
• You will collaborate with team members, including hardware designers, to identify software related requirements and develop corresponding software design strategies or architecture that meets those requirements.
• You will participate in the bring-up of new custom embedded processor hardware with support from hardware designers.

Job Requirements

• You must have worked with silicon HW architects to define software programming interfaces down to the register level
• You must have demonstrated skill in developing original designs with C/C++ in embedded environments including bare-metal, multi-threaded RTOS, and embedded operating systems.
• You must have experience with microcontroller and/or embedded processing platforms such as ARM and RISC-V. Experience with DSP and/or FPGA based SoCs is a plus.  Experience with analog components is a plus.
• You must have a strong understanding of embedded software design and architectural concepts as well as the integration between firmware and hardware.
• You must have experience in open source software development with communities such as Linux, Zephyr, and FreeRTOS, and are comfortable participating and contributing in these communities
• You must have a strong understanding of software development tools and methodologies used in the context of embedded systems. Familiarity with source control via established systems such as Git.
• You must have demonstrated skill in independently using electronics lab equipment to develop/troubleshoot low-level drivers and hardware integration for interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, USB, etc.
• You must possess good interpersonal skills and have the ability to work between multiple teams such as digital design teams and business units.

Educational Requirements

• A 4-year degree or equivalent experience in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or a related engineering discipline.
• A minimum of 10 years of embedded software focused development or equivalent experience
