Skills you'll use

What you'll do

• IP Block Software Ownership: Own the software perspective for assigned IP blocks end-to-end -- from initial definition through implementation review and pre-silicon validation.
• HW/SW Interface Definition: Work directly with HW engineers to co-define register maps, control/status interfaces, interrupt schemes, and data path configurations that are efficient and straightforward to program.
• Virtual Platform Implementation: Work with the SystemC modeling team to deliver firmware or driver prototypes against virtual platforms to validate IP block designs and catch usability or performance issues early.
• Design Review Participation: Review RTL specifications and micro-architecture documents, providing actionable feedback from a software integration perspective before RTL is committed.
• Driver & Firmware Prototyping: Develop early driver code and firmware prototypes that exercise IP block functionality, proving out programming models and identifying gaps.
• Debuggability Assessment: Evaluate and influence the debug and observability features of each IP block, ensuring software has adequate visibility during bringup and in the field.
• Documentation & Handoff: Produce clear programming guides, register descriptions, and usage examples that downstream software teams can use to build production drivers and SDKs.
• Cross-Block Integration: Collaborate with peers owning adjacent IP blocks to ensure consistent interfaces, shared conventions, and smooth data flow between blocks.
• Required Qualifications
• 5+ years of experience in embedded software, firmware development, or SoC platform software

Who can apply

• 5+ years of experience in embedded software, firmware development, or SoC platform software
• Proficiency in C/C++ with hands-on experience writing device drivers, HALs, or register-level firmware
• Strong understanding of hardware/software interfaces: register maps, memory-mapped I/O, interrupt handling, DMA, and bus protocols (AXI/AHB/APB)
• Ability to read and interpret RTL (Verilog/SystemVerilog) or hardware specification documents
• Experience collaborating directly with hardware design engineers during IP or SoC development
• Familiarity with SystemC (TLM 2.0) or willingness to develop proficiency quickly for virtual platform work
• Attention to detail -- able to identify subtle interface issues, race conditions, or ambiguities in hardware specifications
• Strong interpersonal skills -- able to work side-by-side with HW engineers for extended periods, negotiate trade-offs constructively, and build trust
