Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Everpure•Santa Clara, CA

22h•Onsite

About The Position

Join Everpure’s Datastore team to design, develop, and validate embedded firmware for DirectFlash™ modules. Work across firmware and hardware boundaries to build reliable, high-performance storage solutions, while developing virtual platforms and tools that accelerate development, debugging, and validation. Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to solve complex system-level problems and help deliver innovative products to market. The role focuses on developing high-fidelity virtual platforms that model complex hardware behaviors and accelerate SSD firmware development. You will create and maintain firmware simulation environments, hardware models, instrumentation, and CI/CD integrations, and partner with ASIC vendors to validate firmware against RTL and digital logic before physical silicon is available.

Requirements

At least 5 years of experience building and scaling complex embedded, firmware, or hardware-software systems.
Expert proficiency in C/C++, including object-oriented design and C++11 or later.
Strong Python skills for firmware and modeling development.
Deep understanding of firmware-hardware interaction, including translating schematics and data sheets into abstract software models.
Solid understanding of Linux, including kernels and bootloaders, and ability to root-cause issues across hardware and firmware boundaries.
Strong knowledge of high-performance storage protocols such as PCIe and NVMe.
Experience with embedded software development, RTOS, SoCs, and hardware bring-up.
Good verbal communication and collaboration skills.
Willingness and ability to work onsite in an open-office, team environment.

Responsibilities

Develop and maintain comprehensive firmware simulation environments, such as QEMU, to enable shift-left testing, reduce reliance on physical hardware, and accelerate time to market.
Create high-fidelity hardware models that abstract controller logic, communication interfaces such as PCIe and NVMe, and NAND media behaviors in DirectFlash™ SSD modules.
Design and implement instrumentation tools to profile performance and analyze failures in simulated environments.
Automate CI/CD pipelines to integrate simulation and virtual platforms into firmware release and validation processes.
Partner with ASIC vendors to validate firmware behavior against RTL and digital logic designs before physical silicon is available.
Develop, debug, and validate embedded firmware and virtual platforms in collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams.
