Firmware Software Engineer

Summary

 

• The main function of a firmware software engineer is to apply the principles of computer science and mathematical analysis to the design, development, testing, and evaluation of the embedded software and systems that client devices work.
  
   

Job Responsibilities: 

 

• Analyze, design, develop, and debug firmware
• Develop, prepare, and support embedded SW for demos
• Understand and implement power-management, boot loaders, scheduling, and RTOS
• Collaborate in a team environment across multiple , product focused, research, and engineering disciplines
  
   

Skills: 

 

• Experience with software design and programming in C/C++ for development, debugging, testing and performance analysis
• Experience producing production quality, fail-safe firmware for low-power real-time system control
• Experience working with real-time operations systems such as Zephyr or FreeRTOS.
• Experience with embedded processors like ARM Cortex M0/M3/M4 architecture and boot mechanism, interrupt priorities and experience with configuring peripherals
• Experience with peripherals such as USB, SPI, MIPI CSI/DSI, I2C, UART, GPIO etc.
• Experience analyzing hardware and power consumption
• Experience with hardware, clock-level issues, bridges, delays, interrupts, clock gating, polling etc.
• Experience with instrumentation like oscilloscopes, logic/protocol analyzers for debugging embedded systems at HW level
• Experience with device documentation and translating that information into software solutions
• Experience with methods of designing experiments to diagnose embedded hardware and firmware problems
• Experience with cross multi-disciplinary boundaries to drive system solutions
  
   

Education/Experience: 

 

• B.S. degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
