Silicon Firmware Engineer

Join our team as a Silicon Firmware Engineer, where you will design, develop, and optimize low-level software for embedded systems. You will work closely with hardware engineers to shape firmware architecture, drive hardware bring-up, and ensure seamless integration across the full embedded stack. Your responsibilities will include embedded software development, RTOS application and driver development, software/hardware co-design, system verification, embedded security, testing and automation, collaboration and documentation. This is a fast-paced, high-impact environment that requires flexibility to occasionally work extended hours or weekends during critical periods.

• Plan, implement, and verify low-level software for embedded systems, including BSP, firmware drivers, and ROM code.
• Develop device drivers for accelerators and heterogeneous multi-processor platform applications, as well as system services for operating systems such as Zephyr RTOS or FreeRTOS.
• Design and implement security mechanisms at the firmware level, including secure boot, trusted execution environments (TEE), and control flow integrity to ensure robust protection across the platform.

• Embedded C Programming: Strong proficiency in C for embedded systems development; experience with Rust is a plus
• Automation Tools: Experience with CI/CD pipelines, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar tools
• Scripting: Practical experience with scripting tools and languages such as Bash, awk, Python, Makefiles, and Tcl
• Version Control: Expertise with Git or similar version control systems
• Embedded Architectures: Familiarity with ARM Corstone reference designs, ARM Cortex processors, and their associated toolchains
• Debugging Tools: Proficiency with debugging tools like JTAG, GDB, and serial debuggers
• Low Power Design: Understanding of low-power design principles, energy-efficient algorithms, and power profiling tools
• Experience with TrustedFirmware-M and MCUboot
• Familiarity with PSA certification processes and requirements
• Experience with secure firmware updates (OTA) and bootloader development
• Knowledge of AMBA interconnect protocols (AXI, AHB, APB)
• Knowledge of hardware protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, and GPIO
• Familiarity with hardware simulation tools and mock environments for testing
• Knowledge of embedded security and cryptographic algorithms, including Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)
• Familiarity with 3GPP network protocols
• Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
