Embedded Firmware Engineer

Job Description:

Role Overview:

We are looking for a talented Embedded Firmware Engineer to design and develop embedded solutions for intelligent storage systems and PCIe switch controllers. This role involves translating complex customer requirements into reliable, standards-compliant product features, working with protocols such as NVMe, PCIe, I2C, and DMTF (MCTP/PLDM/SPDM).

The ideal candidate is highly skilled in embedded system design, proficient in C/C++, and experienced in low-level development and debugging using industry-standard tools. Strong communication and collaboration skills are essential for cross-functional teamwork and documentation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware in C/C++.
• Develop automated test scripts and tools using Python.
• Implement features based on customer needs and technical specifications aligned with industry protocols (NVMe, PCIe, I2C, DMTF).
• Work closely with system processors, PCIe components, peripherals, and resident operating systems.
• Perform debugging and validation using software debuggers, in-circuit emulators (ICE), protocol analyzers, and logic analyzers.
• Create and maintain detailed design documentation and collaborate effectively with internal teams and external stakeholders.
  
  
  

Required Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
• Experience: 1–4 years in embedded firmware development using C/C++.
• Technical Skills:
• Solid understanding of embedded systems architecture and microprocessor-based design.
• Hands-on experience with NVMe, PCIe, I2C, and DMTF protocols.
• Familiarity with MCTP over PCIe/I2C and BMC out-of-band communication.
• Tools & Debugging:
• Proficient with tools like protocol analyzers, logic analyzers, in-circuit emulators, ARM/Greenhills debug tools.
• Soft Skills:
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to thrive in a globally distributed team across different time zones.
  
  
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with RTOS-based development.
• Additional proficiency in Python and low-level programming languages.
• Exposure to FPGA or ASIC development environments.
• Understanding of secure firmware practices (encryption, authentication).
• Knowledge of hardware-software co-design for scalable embedded solutions.
• Familiarity with virtualization concepts, including IOMMU and virtual machine environments.
