Semiconductor Software Engineer
About The Position
Bright Vision Technologies is hiring a full-time Semiconductor Software Engineer for a 100% remote position in the United States. The role focuses on developing software, firmware, infrastructure, and tooling for semiconductor design, verification, and validation workflows. The engineer will work across the software-hardware boundary with hardware engineers and silicon design teams, while helping improve performance, scalability, documentation, and team capabilities. The position is listed with a salary range of $100,000–$160,000 annually and requires substantial software engineering experience in semiconductor environments. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States; the company does not sponsor new H-1B visa petitions, though H-1B transfer candidates are encouraged to apply.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Six or more years of software engineering experience, with significant experience in semiconductor environments.
- Strong programming skills in C, C++, and Python.
- Hands-on experience with EDA, verification, or post-silicon validation workflows.
- Solid understanding of low-level hardware-software interaction.
- Experience building large-scale compute infrastructure, such as grid, cloud, or HPC.
- Strong scripting and automation skills.
- Experience with data pipelines for design or characterization data.
- Excellent debugging and troubleshooting skills.
- Strong communication and documentation skills.
Nice To Haves
- Exposure to SystemVerilog or other HDLs.
- Familiarity with UVM-based verification workflows.
- Experience with cloud-based EDA workflows.
- Hands-on experience applying machine learning to silicon design.
- Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
Responsibilities
- Design and build software tooling to accelerate semiconductor design and verification workflows.
- Develop firmware and low-level software that interacts with silicon, including drivers and BSPs.
- Build infrastructure for large-scale EDA tool execution on compute farms and cloud platforms.
- Develop post-silicon validation tooling, including high-throughput test orchestration, programmable stimulus generation, and result aggregation systems.
- Build data pipelines for design, verification, and characterization data to support analytics and machine learning.
- Implement debug tooling and diagnostic infrastructure for hardware bring-up and silicon characterization.
- Work with hardware engineers to translate hardware requirements into software designs.
- Optimize software performance and scalability in compute-intensive semiconductor workflows.
- Lead architecture and code reviews across software and hardware domains.
- Contribute to internal libraries and tooling shared across silicon design teams.
- Maintain technical documentation, including architecture diagrams, design decisions, configuration references, runbooks, and operational procedures.
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through reviews, pair programming, and knowledge sharing.
- Evaluate emerging hardware platforms and toolchains and recommend whether to adopt, pilot, or defer them.
