About The Position

Join a highly collaborative Memory Subsystem team focused on delivering high‑performance DDR/LPDDR solutions used across a wide range of server and client products. As a BIOS / Firmware Development Engineer, you’ll work at the intersection of hardware and software, developing and validating critical memory firmware that directly impacts system performance and reliability. This role offers exposure across the full product lifecycle—from early architecture and simulation through silicon bring‑up and production—giving you the opportunity to influence quality early and see your work come to life in real products. You’ll partner closely with hardware design, validation, and system teams, troubleshooting complex system‑level challenges and driving scalable firmware solutions in a fast-paced, engineering-driven environment. If you enjoy working close to the hardware, solving deep technical problems, and collaborating across disciplines, this is a great opportunity to grow in a highly visible and impactful area.

Requirements

Strong programming skills in C and C++ for low-level or BIOS/firmware development
Experience with BIOS or SoC firmware, including initialization and runtime configuration
Exposure to integrating firmware within larger system software stacks
Experience debugging firmware in collaboration with hardware and validation teams
Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., git-based workflows)
Experience with DDR or JEDEC-based memory technologies and memory subsystems
Exposure to pre-silicon environments (simulation, emulation, or architectural modeling)
Understanding of SoC architecture and firmware-to-hardware interaction
Experience with silicon bring‑up, lab debug, or post-silicon validation
Familiarity with early-stage firmware validation prior to hardware availability
Additional exposure to SystemVerilog, SystemC, Python, or UVM
Experience with simulation or emulation platforms
Understanding of hardware initialization concepts (clocking, reset sequencing, handshakes)
Experience debugging issues across firmware, hardware design, and validation
Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
