• Strong programming experience in C/C++ and low-level embedded software development.
• Experience developing bootloaders, ROM code, board-support software, device drivers, or low-level firmware.
• Strong understanding of embedded processor architectures, memory maps, interrupts, peripherals, and hardware/software interfaces.
• Experience debugging embedded systems using tools such as JTAG, trace, logic analyzers, or equivalent debugging environments.
• Experience with embedded security concepts such as secure boot, root of trust, cryptographic key management, device identity, or secure firmware updates.
• Ability to work closely with ASIC and hardware teams during pre-silicon development and silicon bring-up.

Responsibilities

• Develop ROM code, bootloaders, and runtime firmware for secure enclaves within custom ASICs.
• Design and implement firmware supporting secure boot, device attestation, and root-of-trust functionality.
• Develop firmware infrastructure for OTA updates, recovery, and secure firmware lifecycle management.
• Support manufacturing provisioning, including device identity, keys, credentials, and secure configuration.
• Develop and support secure debug, telemetry, tamper monitoring, and device recovery mechanisms.
• Work closely with ASIC, security, software, and system teams to define hardware/software interfaces and security requirements.
• Support pre-silicon firmware development and validation using simulation, emulation, FPGA, or other available development platforms.
• Support silicon bring-up, debugging, validation, and production deployment of secure-enclave firmware.
• Develop high-quality, maintainable embedded software with appropriate unit testing, code review, and documentation.
