Firmware Developer

Role & responsibilities

• Develop, port, and debug 

  bare-metal and RTOS-based firmware

   for 

  pre-silicon FPGA/emulation platforms

   (HAPS, ZeBu, or equivalent).
• Perform 

  SoC bring-up

  , including 

  bootloader development

  , initialization, and 

  board-level debugging

  .
• Develop and integrate 

  low-speed IO drivers

   (SPI, QSPI, I2C, UART) and 

  high-speed interface drivers

   (PCIe, UFS, USB, eMMC, SD).
• Collaborate with 

  hardware, DV, and software teams

   to validate and debug pre-silicon system-level functionality.
• Use 

  JTAG

  , 

  debuggers

  , and 

  trace tools

   to identify and resolve firmware and driver issues.
• Implement and validate 

  firmware on RTOS environments

   such as 

  FreeRTOS

   or 

  Zephyr

  .
• Contribute to 

  boot flow debugging

  , 

  firmware optimization

  , and 

  platform stability

   in early hardware validation phases.
• Document debug findings, bring-up procedures, and firmware design specifications.

Preferred candidate profile

• Hands-on experience in 

  bare-metal firmware

   and 

  driver development

  .
• Proven experience working on 

  pre-silicon FPGA/emulation platforms

   (HAPS, Synopsys ZeBu, or equivalent).
• Strong background in 

  RTOS-based firmware development

   (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or similar).
• Excellent proficiency in 

  C programming

  , with solid debugging skills using 

  JTAG

   or equivalent tools.
• Experience in 

  bootloader bring-up

   from 

  QSPI/eMMC/UFS/USB/PCIe

   or other boot sources.
• Strong knowledge of 

  low-speed I/O interfaces

   (SPI, QSPI, I2C, UART).
• Hands-on experience with 

  high-speed I/O

   driver/firmware development (

  PCIe, UFS, USB, eMMC, SD

  ).
