You will play a key role in the development of embedded driver firmware for custom silicon devices, as well as supporting verification, bring-up and validation activities. The position offers a mix of hands-on technical work, cross-team collaboration and problem-solving within a highly skilled engineering group.
Key Responsibilities - Senior Embedded Software Engineer - Device Driver
Develop and maintain embedded firmware drivers for proprietary silicon.
Build and support automated pre-silicon and silicon verification environments for firmware testing.
Contribute to chip bring-up, debugging, regression testing and performance analysis.
Create and run validation test suites to verify electrical performance and functionality.
Work closely with silicon, electronics and control engineers throughout development.
Skills, Experience & Qualifications - Senior Embedded Software Engineer - Device Driver
Essential:
Degree in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, or related discipline.
Strong experience in real-time embedded firmware development.
Commercial experience in C programming for device drivers / embedded systems.
Commercial Python programming experience.
