Required Staff Firmware & Validation Engineer
Job Description:
The mission of this role is to architect and develop firmware and microcontroller subsystems for our SoC and systems products. Firmware engineer is responsible for implementing and validating the major differentiating features of our products. As such, firmware is considered equally important to the hardware, and the firmware team is often customer-facing accordingly to ensure the needs of the customer are fully comprehended.
Basic qualifications:
Strong academic and technical background in electrical engineering. At a minimum, a Bachelors in EE or Computer Science is required, and a Masters is preferred.
Minimum 5 years experience supporting or developing complex SoC/silicon products for Server, Storage, and/or Networking applications.
Experience developing & validating firmware to execute in on-chip microcontrollers as well as C-language software development kits (SDKs) to execute on system management controllers (e.g. BMC).
Experience working with logic designers to architect and verify HW-SW interfaces on complex SoCs.
Professional attitude with the ability to prioritize a dynamic list of multiple tasks, to plan and prepare for customer meetings in advance, and to work with minimal guidance and supervision.
Experience validating firmware for complex SoCs
Entrepreneurial, open-mind behavior and can-do attitude. Think and act fast with the customer in mind!
Authorized to work in Israel and start immediately.
