About the role
- The role focuses on high-accuracy, low-power sensing platforms, including firmware for mixed-signal sensing SoCs with on-chip ADCs, proximity, touch and gesture recognition.
Responsibilities
- Define, develop, verify and optimize embedded firmware for low-power mixed-signal circuits.
- Design embedded firmware functions, sub and full systems, from specification definition to support to production.
- Develop and deploy rule-based and ML-based inference firmware, leveraging AI-assisted development tools and workflows.
- Implement testability and diagnosis features to support hardware testing.
- Generate technical documentation and drive design reviews.
- Define and implement pre-silicon simulation validation, unit and regression testing, debug, emulation, and FPGA prototyping. Support top verification.
- Specify and implement system-level and hardware-firmware architectures, from top-level specification analysis to system and firmware optimization.
- Support silicon lab evaluation, performance characterization and debug. Provide comprehensive post-silicon customer technical support, RMA analysis and field issue resolution.
- Technical support to test, product and application engineers.
- The Senior Embedded Firmware Design Engineer is responsible for designing, developing and validating a variety of firmware-based systems and functions.
Requirements
- 8-10 years of industry experience in embedded firmware for mixed-signal integrated circuits
- Experience with bare-metal firmware development.
- Experience with configurations, version control, release management, integration, unit and regression testing
- Experience with standard hardware protocols (I2C, I3C, SPI, MIPI, JTAG, PCIe)
- Hands-on experience with development boards, FPGAs, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, supplies, multimeters and the associated measurement methods
- Knowledge of system-level aspects: signal processing, mixed-signal, digital hardware, analog, modelling, test and application
- Experience with system/digital design methods & tools, Matlab, SV/Verilog/VHDL etc.
- Experience with consumer, industrial, or automotive market circuit developments
- Incumbents may be required to perform job-related tasks other than those specifically included in this description.
Compensation
- A reasonable estimate of the pay range for this position is $116K - $200K.
