Qualifikationen

• 12+ overall years of experience in embedded firmware, system software, or low-level platform software.
• 7+ years of engineering leadership experience, including leading managers or distributed teams.
• Proven success delivering complex CPU or SoC firmware from architecture through production.
• Deep understanding of CPUs, multicore systems, caches, coherency, memory, interrupts, power management, and hardware-software interfaces.
• Strong knowledge of bare-metal or real-time firmware, bootloaders, embedded operating systems, Linux internals, and hardware bring-up.
• Experience with heterogeneous SoCs containing CPUs, GPUs, accelerators, security processors, or system-control microcontrollers.
• Experience with pre-silicon development, post-silicon debugging, failure analysis, and in-field diagnostic processes.
• Strong understanding of firmware quality, reliability, secure development, and product lifecycle management.
• Excellent technical judgment, communication, and cross-functional leadership skills.

Aufgaben

• Lead and grow globally distributed firmware teams and engineering managers.
• Own delivery from architecture and pre-silicon development through bring-up, production, and long-term support.
• Direct development of CPU boot, memory and coherency initialization, multicore startup, power-state transitions, confidential compute, and OS handoff.
• Partner with CPU, SoC, hardware, verification, OS, DRIVE OS, safety, security, and product teams on integrated platform delivery.
• Drive pre-silicon readiness, silicon bring-up, fault injection, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and development automation.
• Lead firmware execution for automotive and industrial programs aligned with ISO 26262, IEC 61508, ISO/SAE 21434, and applicable certification requirements.
• Oversee safety and security activities such as requirements traceability, FMEA, FTA, threat analysis, secure design reviews, verification evidence, and assessor engagement.
• Work with OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, industrial customers, and ecosystem partners to resolve technical and delivery challenges.
