Descripción de la vacante

Semidynamics, a Europe-based deep-tech semiconductor scale-up, seeks a Senior LPDDR5X Controller/PHY Bring-Up Engineer in Barcelona. You will support reconstruction, implementation and physical qualification of the LPDDR5X init and training flow, driving first-silicon execution.

Join a collaborative team in a hybrid setup: 4 days in the city center office and 1 day WFH, plus an option to work globally for a week.

Formación

• Demonstrable DDR/LPDDR post-silicon bring-up experience; LPDDR5/LPDDR5X experience is strongly preferred.
• Strong understanding of memory-controller and PHY initialization, DRAM mode registers, timing configuration and frequency operating points.
• Hands-on experience with PHY initialization firmware, mailbox/status flows, calibration and training procedures.
• Experience diagnosing training failures and separating controller, PHY, DRAM, clock, reset and board-level causes.
• Low-level C/C++ firmware development and direct MMIO/register access.
• Ability to translate ordered verification sequences into deterministic executable firmware with readback, polling and bounded timeout handling.
• Understanding of memory read/write sanity testing and the transition from training PASS to a usable memory configuration.
• Practical laboratory experience during physical first-silicon memory bring-up.

Responsabilidades

• Review existing DDR verification collateral and identify the authoritative initialization/training sequence.
• Help convert the sequence into maintainable low-level C/C++ code rather than a blind register replay.
• Define register access widths, masks, polling conditions and hardware-derived timeouts from authoritative specifications.
• Integrate PHY firmware loading and controlled training/status flows.
• Support first-silicon initialization, training, basic read/write and failure isolation.
• Capture a controlled known-good configuration and reproducible evidence.
• Support the transition to the first controlled CPU-visible read/write/copy bandwidth measurement.
