Job Purpose and Accountabilities
We are seeking an experienced Staff Software Engineer with people‑management capabilities to lead the design, development, and optimization of low‑level software and firmware components. The ideal candidate will play a key role in system architecture, performance tuning, and silicon bring‑up for next‑generation platforms.
Responsibilities
* Develop and validate firmware across pre‑silicon platforms (virtual platforms, FPGA, and emulators) to bring up in silicon.
* Collaborate with hardware, validation, and system teams to ensure seamless integration.
* Optimize system performance, including latency, bandwidth, and power efficiency.
* Debug complex system‑level issues across hardware‑software boundaries.
* Line‑manage 3–5 engineers, including goal setting and performance evaluation.
* Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership across teams in their domain.
Required Skills and Experience
* Solid industry experience building complex system software, combined with demonstrated leadership or mentoring and a strong track record of delivery.
* Background in firmware development on pre‑silicon and silicon platforms (preferably on Arm‑based systems), demonstrated through ownership, review, and guidance of complex technical designs.
* Sound technical judgement, including assessing trade‑offs, managing technical risk, and sustaining long‑term software quality.
* System software experience with Infra‑scale platforms and one or more of the associated features like RAS, virtualization, power management, BMC, telemetry, debug, diagnostics, etc.
* Strong communication skills and a track record of effective collaboration across teams and sites.
Nice to Have
* Experience working on server or infrastructure platforms, including customer‑ or production‑facing environments.
* Understanding of system architecture (preferably Arm), OS fundamentals, bootloaders, and device drivers.
* Experience working with open‑source software or upstream communities like Linux, edk2, TF‑A, TF‑M, etc.
* Understanding of software development standard processes, including testing strategies, CI, and release considerations.
* Experience working in globally distributed teams.
