Job summary

Bright Vision Technologies is seeking a seasoned Semiconductor Software Engineer to design and build tooling, firmware, and infrastructure that support silicon design, verification, manufacturing, and post-silicon validation. You will partner with hardware engineers and EDA teams to accelerate silicon development cycles, improve yield, and scale data pipelines across cloud and on-prem HPC environments.

The ideal candidate combines software fundamentals with hardware collaboration experience and

Qualifications

• Six or more years of software engineering experience in semiconductor environments.
• Strong programming skills in C, C++, and Python.
• Hands-on experience with EDA, verification, or post-silicon validation workflows.
• Deep 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 that abstractions, interfaces, and constraints between the two domains are well-understood and respected across the team.
• Contribute to internal libraries and tooling shared across silicon design teams.
• Maintain comprehensive, current technical documentation — including architecture diagrams, design decisions, configuration references, runbooks, and operational procedures — so that the system remains supportable, auditable, and easy to onboard new engineers over time.
• Mentor and coach junior and mid-level engineers through code review, design review, pair programming, and structured knowledge sharing, helping the broader team grow in technical maturity and confidence over time.
• Continuously evaluate emerging hardware platforms and toolchains, assessing maturity, fit for purpose, and total cost of ownership, and make grounded recommendations on which to adopt, pilot, or defer based on real engineering needs.
