Company Overview Ambiq's mission is to enable intelligence everywhere by delivering the lowest power semiconductor solutions. Ambiq is a pioneer and a leading provider of ultra-low-power semiconductor solutions based on our proprietary and patented sub- and near-threshold technologies. With the increasing power requirements of artificial intelligence (AI) computing, our customers are relying on our solutions to deliver AI to edge environments. Our hardware and software innovations fundamentally deliver a multi-fold improvement in power consumption over traditional semiconductor designs without expensive process geometry scaling. We began in 2010 by addressing the power consumption challenges of battery-powered devices at the edge, where they were most pronounced. As of the beginning of 2025, we've shipped more than 280+ million units worldwide. Our innovative and fast-moving teams of design, research, development, production, marketing, sales, and operations are spread across several continents, including the US (Austin), Taiwan (Hsinchu), China (Shanghai and Shenzhen), and Singapore. We value relentless technology innovation, a deep commitment to customer success, collaborative problem-solving, and an enthusiastic pursuit of energy efficiency. We embrace candidates who also share these same values. The successful candidate must be self-motivated, creative, and comfortable learning and driving exciting new technologies. We encourage and nurture an environment that fosters growth and opportunities to work on complex, meaningful, and challenging projects, creating a lasting impact and shaping the future of technology. Join us on our quest to enable billions of intelligent devices. The intelligence everywhere revolution starts here.

  • Requirements analysis based on disparate and preliminary information from SoC hardware architecture team, product marketing, other software architects, and software development teams resulting in contributions to a software requirements specification for the device.
  • Working closely with our field, product marketing, and system test teams to understand our Alpha customer use cases and their impact on requirements and testability.
  • Engaging during the software implementation and test phases to review designs, test plans, code, and test case results as a SME for certain aspects of the SoC software architecture.
  • Support performance and power optimization of the areas for which you are responsible.
  • Define and enforce architectural standards, guidelines, and best practices.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align architectural decisions with overall business objectives.
  • Diagnose and resolve complex technical issues and recommend trade-offs between software and hardware implementations.
  • Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to achieve project goals.
  • Mentor and guide junior team members.
  • A Bachelor's of Science or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
  • 12+ years of experience developing embedded software for real-time environments (bare metal and RTOS).
  • Experienced in code development in C/C++ and assembly language for embedded targets using ARM Cortex-M processors.
  • Experience in writing software requirements specifications with an eye towards customer use cases, derived software requirements, and testability on FPGA-based emulation platforms, as well as full system reference designs.
  • Experience with asymmetric multicore systems and control/data plane interaction, including inter-processor communication via remote processor messaging frameworks (e.g., OpenAMP or RPMsg).
  • Experience with general purpose data movement engines, memory management units, memory protection, L1/L2 caches, shared memories, and dual-port memories.
  • Experience in power optimization for embedded systems is desirable. Familiarity with voltage and frequency scaling, clock gating, sleep/wake cycles, and low-power modes of processors and peripherals.
  • Familiarity with at least one MCU IDE on Windows from ARM/Keil, IAR, Eclipse, or others.
  • Familiarity with Trust Zone for M-Class microcontrollers and/or Trusted Firmware for microcontrollers is preferred.
  • Experience with Graphics, Display and Audio/Video processing in embedded systems preferred.
  • The candidate must be able to independently manage assigned tasks, prioritize workload, and meet deadlines with minimal supervision. Proactive problem-solving skills and the ability to seek clarification when needed are essential.
