Job description

Job Summary:

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 Contribute to internal and external open-source projects, managing the full development lifecycle from forking to merging Triage issues, review pull requests, and maintain code quality in public repositories

Key Challenges:

• The 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:

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:

• BS/MS Degree in EE or Computer Engineering with embedded software focus, or equivalent experience MS with 3 years of experience or BS with 5 years of experience in the related field is required
