Remote Embedded Semiconductor Engineer: Firmware & Tooling

Bright Vision Technologies; Woodbury (MN); Remote; USD 120,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Bright Vision Technologies is seeking an experienced Embedded Semiconductor Engineer to design and build software tooling, firmware, and infrastructure that support semiconductor design, verification, manufacturing, and post-silicon validation.

In this role you will partner with hardware engineers and EDA teams to build software that accelerates silicon development cycles and improves yield, performance, and quality.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Six or more years of software engineering experience, with significant time in semiconductor environments.
• Strong programming skills in C, C++, and Python.
• Hands-on experience with EDA, verification, or post-silicon validation workflows.
• Solid understanding of hardware-software interaction at a low level.
• Experience building large-scale compute infrastructure (grid, cloud, HPC).
• Strong scripting and automation skills.
• Experience with data pipelines for design or characterization data.
• Excellent debugging and troubleshooting skills.
• Strong communication and documentation skills.

Responsibilities

• Design and build software tooling that accelerates semiconductor design and verification workflows.
• Develop firmware and low-level software interacting directly with silicon, including drivers and BSPs.
• Build infrastructure to support large-scale EDA tool execution on compute farms and cloud platforms.
• Develop post-silicon validation tooling, including high-throughput test orchestration, programmable stimulus generation, and result aggregation systems that scale across many parts and many test environments.
• Build data pipelines for design, verification, and characterization data, supporting downstream analytics and ML.
• Implement debug tooling and diagnostic infrastructure for hardware bring-up and silicon characterization, giving engineers fast feedback loops on the silicon-software interface during critical validation windows.
• Partner with hardware engineers to translate hardware-specific requirements into clean software designs.
• Optimize software for performance and scalability in compute-intensive semiconductor workflows.
• Lead architecture and code reviews that span the software-hardware boundary, ensuring abstractions and interfaces are well-understood.
• Contribute to internal libraries and tooling shared across silicon design teams.
• Maintain comprehensive, current technical documentation and runbooks for onboarding and support.
