• Master's degree in Science, Engineering, or related field and 1+ year of ASIC design, verification, validation, integration, or related work experience.
• PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field.

Responsabilidades

• Design, develop, and optimize validation tests for multi-processor systems with a focus on system level concurrency.
• Develop and maintain bare-metal software, including low-level hardware interfaces, register and interrupt programming, and clock and power management.
• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to define and validate system level software use cases.
• Debug and troubleshoot System-On-Chip with limited visibility, using development boards and lab equipment.
• Implement and optimize algorithms for performance, power efficiency, and memory footprint.
• Support pre-silicon validation efforts, working with simulation, emulation, and FPGAs.
• Conduct post-silicon bring-up, validation, system level use cases, and system integration.
