You will be responsible for hardware bring-up, BSP development, peripheral enablement, application optimization, and customer support. This role requires a strong understanding of embedded systems, real-time software, and MCU architectures, as well as the ability to troubleshoot complex hardware and software integration challenges.

Responsibilities

• Customer Enablement: Serve as the primary technical interface for customers, supporting MCU evaluation, design-in activities, and product deployment.
• Software Development: Develop and optimize firmware, board support packages (BSPs), device drivers, and middleware for MCU-based platforms.
• Hardware Bring-Up: Support board bring-up, bootloader integration, peripheral initialization, and system validation for new hardware platforms.
• Peripheral Integration: Enable and debug MCU peripherals including GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, LIN, Ethernet, USB, ADC, PWM, timers, and DMA controllers.
• RTOS & Embedded Software: Develop and optimize software solutions using RTOS frameworks and bare-metal environments to meet real-time application requirements.
• Performance Optimization: Analyze system performance, power consumption, memory utilization, and boot-time metrics to optimize end-product operation.
• Reference Designs & Demos: Create evaluation platforms, demonstration applications, and reference designs to accelerate customer adoption.
• Debug & Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve complex hardware, firmware, and system-level issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, and trace tools.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with silicon design, software, validation, product marketing, and applications teams to ensure successful product deployment.
• Documentation & Training: Develop application notes, software examples, technical documentation, and customer training materials.
• Product Feedback: Collect customer feedback and provide insights to architecture, software, and product teams to influence future MCU products and roadmap decisions.

Requirements

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field; Master's degree preferred.
• Experience: 5+ years of experience in embedded software development, applications engineering, or MCU platform development.
• MCU Expertise: Strong understanding of MCU architectures including ARM Cortex-M, RISC-V, or equivalent embedded processor platforms.
• Embedded Software: Hands-on experience with C/C++, embedded firmware development, bootloaders, BSPs, and device drivers.
• RTOS Knowledge: Experience with FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX, AUTOSAR, or similar real-time operating systems.
• Peripheral Interfaces: Proven experience working with UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, LIN, Ethernet, USB, GPIO, ADC, PWM, and timer subsystems.
• Debug Skills: Strong proficiency with JTAG, SWD, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, and software debugging tools.
