Job Description

Responsibilities:

• Testing and silicon debug, including writing the necessary testing code, testing platform setup, and silicon screening and debugging
• Design, develop, and maintain embedded software, including drivers and application code, to support device functionality and performance benchmarks.
• Identify and document test scenarios and conditions for the functional testing of embedded software, ensuring comprehensive evaluation of both firmware and hardware interfaces.
• Contribute to testing methodology and setup including probe card, packaged chip, and PCB testing
• Analysis of signal integrity, noise, power, and other design issues
• Record and document results, compare them with expected outcomes, and log defects in the defect tracking system
• Reproduce and isolate issues within embedded systems, providing detailed documentation for troubleshooting and resolution
• Work closely with the hardware and design teams to verify embedded system features and to help debug issues at the firmware and driver levels
• Help with product demo setup and running different demo benchmark/showroom projects as needed
• Hardware development on circuit board, system and user interface

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• Strong background in embedded programming with proficiency in C/C++ for driver and firmware development
• Solid programming skills in Python and familiarity with MATLAB for test automation and analysis
• Understanding of basic I/O protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, GPIO) and experience with DMA and interrupt handling in embedded systems
• Working knowledge of microcontrollers (Arduino, Raspberry Pi) and/or FPGA (Xilinx or Intel)
• Working knowledge of testing instruments such as oscilloscopes, digital multimeter, function generator
• Basic knowledge of electronic circuits and semiconductor technology
• Ability to work in a startup environment and to work both independently and as a team player
• Familiarity with test management and defect tracking tools (e.g., JIRA, Bugzilla)
• Proficiency in version control (Git, BitBucket)

Experience in one or more of the following areas is considered a strong plus:

• Working knowledge of in-memory computing and non-volatile memory
• Experience with RISC-V CPUs and related embedded architectures
