Jobbeschreibung

Minimum Qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent
• 5+ years of industry experience in embedded firmware development
• Strong C fundamentals and deep experience in bare-metal or RTOS firmware on ARM Cortex-A / AArch64
• Experience developing firmware for an FPGA-based SoC, ideally on Xilinx MPSoC or Versal platforms
• Proven experience owning board bring-up from the firmware side, including power and clock sequencing and incremental peripheral enablement
• Hands-on experience debugging targets over JTAG and writing boot images to eMMC, SD, or flash
• Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes and logic analyzers for probing PCB signals and debugging hardware/software interactions
• Strong desire to dive deep into system-level issues and drive problems to closure in a team environment
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills for working with internal teams and external design partners

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with the AMD/Xilinx Vitis toolchain, from hardware handoff (XSA) through BSP configuration to boot image
• Working proficiency with Vivado sufficient to navigate a block design, interpret an address map, and re-export a hardware handoff
• Experience bringing up a PCIe endpoint, including address translation and enumeration debugging
• Experience with QDMA or XDMA on Xilinx devices, including the host driver side
• Working knowledge of cache and coherency handling for DMA-accessible memory
• Ability to read Verilog or SystemVerilog and make small, contained modifications
• Effective use of AI-assisted development tools for navigating unfamiliar code and accelerating debugging

For this position we can only consider applicants with a Swiss work permit or a Swiss/EU passport.
