About the project

Your responsibilities

• Technically lead embedded software design, development, integration and debug activities for complex SoC and ASIC platforms
• Define software and firmware architectures for next-generation connectivity and video transport solutions
• Drive silicon bring-up activities from FPGA prototypes through first-silicon validation and production release
• Develop low-level firmware, platform software, boot flows, device drivers and hardware abstraction layers
• Work closely with FPGA, ASIC, hardware, validation and systems teams to define hardware/software interfaces
• Debug complex system-level issues spanning hardware, FPGA, silicon, firmware and software
• Design and implement features supporting USB2/3/4, DisplayPort, HDMI and related technologies
• Analyze performance, latency, power and reliability of embedded systems
• Champion quality through unit testing, static analysis, code coverage, and CI/CD practices
• Participate in code reviews, champion quality, reliability, and security
• Participate in requirements decomposition and allocation across hardware, FPGA, firmware, software, and validation teams
