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.
