The Sr. Embedded Firmware Design Engineer is responsible for designing, developing and validating a variety of firmware-based systems and functions. Ahead of detailed design, the Sr. Embedded Firmware Design Engineer will actively participate in the definition of the chip, systems, and blocks including interactions with application, system, digital hardware, analog, and cross functional teams. The role also includes innovation & technical leadership, mentoring and supervision of junior engineers, pre-silicon and post-silicon validations or their supervision, support to application and production test engineers, and definition of test methodology.

Define, develop, verify and optimize embedded firmware for low-power mixed-signal circuits. Design embedded firmware functions, sub and full systems, from specification definition to support to production. Implement testability and diagnosis features to support hardware testing. Generate technical documentation and drive design reviews.
Define and implement pre-silicon simulation validation, unit and regression testing, debug, emulation, and FPGA prototyping. Support top verification.
Specify and implement systems and digital hardware-firmware architectures, from top-level specification analysis to system and firmware optimization. Evaluate and specify CPU/micro-controller selection and ROM/RAM memory sizing based on system requirements and constraints.
Support silicon lab evaluation, performance characterization and debug. Provide comprehensive post-silicon customer technical support, RMA analysis and field issue resolution.
Interface with system, digital hardware, analog, verification and cross functional teams.
Mentor and supervise junior engineers.
Technical support to test, product and application engineers.

10+ years of industry experience in embedded firmware for mixed-signal integrated circuits
B.S. or M.S. in Electrical or Computer Engineering
Strong analytical, synthesis and problem solving skills
In-depth knowledge and experience in firmware development for mixed-signal ICs, HW-SW architectures and co-design, real-time embedded systems, data path, signal processing, system trade-offs (power, speed, hardware resources, area)
Strong background with MCU based systems (ARM, RISC-V, PIC, STM32), architecture, and instruction set
Proficiency in C/C++ and assembly language programming, scripting languages (Python), debugging capabilities, and industry leading embedded software suites (IDE)
Experience with bare-metal firmware development and real-time embedded systems.
Design for test experience including implementation of testability and diagnostic features.
Experience with configurations, version control, release management, integration, unit and regression testing
Demonstration of technical leadership and innovation
Experience with standard hardware protocols (I2C, I3C, SPI, MIPI, JTAG, PCIe)
Hands-on experience with development boards, FPGAs, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, supplies, multimeters and the associated measurement methods
Independent, self-motivated, rigorous, innovating, team player and able to follow through
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Knowledge of system-level aspects: signal processing, mixed-signal, digital hardware, analog, modelling, test and application

Experience with system/digital design methods & tools, Matlab, SV/Verilog/VHDL etc.
Experience with consumer and/or ITA market circuit developments

A reasonable estimate of the pay range for this position is $130,000 - $183,206.
