Job summary

OLIX Computing Ltd. in London is seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to own a component of the DX-1 platform firmware end to end, from simulation through FPGA prototypes and first silicon into production.

The Embedded team builds the software that makes the platform bootable, manageable and observable: boot and update, platform management on the BMC, embedded Linux on the platform processors, real-time firmware on resource-constrained cores, and register-level control of the ASIC.

Qualifications

• Strong C on bare metal and C/C++ on Linux.
• Systems fundamentals: interrupts, memory ordering, cache maintenance and DMA.
• Shipped firmware on real hardware; debugged with oscilloscope, logic analyser, JTAG and serial console.
• Embedded Linux platform work: Yocto/OpenEmbedded, U-Boot/UEFI and device tree.
• Update flow recovery and pre-silicon bring-up are advantageous.

Responsibilities

• Own a subsystem end to end from design to production.
• Work across the stack: boot firmware, Linux kernel/drivers, management-plane services, and bare-metal code in C/C++/Python.
• Test what you build: firmware tests in hardware-in-the-loop, bench scripts, and device models.
• Anticipate problems and complete work to be in use.
• Lead initiatives requiring collaboration across FPGA or Systems Software teams.
