Job description

Responsibilities

• Development of HAL and Peripheral device drivers for MCX, Crossover RT and i.MX family of devices, such as I2C Master/Slave, SPI Master/Slave, UART, USB, etc., to work in standalone bare metal, ROM and RTOS environments.
• Deliver high quality, well documented and tested code for customers’ reference and use.
• Verify ROM code and other software deliverables on pre-silicon test and debug environments such as RTL and Emulation platforms.
• Actively support key customers.
• Analyze, investigate and resolve system level issues together with other teams globally.
• Development of ROM code in the absence of silicon.
• Verification and debugging issues in pre-silicon environments, meeting close to 100% test coverage.
• Hardening of the critical sections of the code to ensure ROM code is not vulnerable to physical or logical attacks.
• Meeting required security and safety standards.

Cross Functional Aspects

• Development of ROM code involves interactions with several teams working on the SOC, Marketing, Systems Architects, SOC Design, Verification and Validation leads, Documentation, Software and other team leads.
• Mentoring will be provided by senior members of the system ROM team with over 10 years of experience in ROM development and architecture.

Job Qualifications
