Entry Level Assembly Language Programmer information

What is the difference between Entry Level Assembly Language Programmer vs Embedded Systems Programmer?

AspectEntry Level Assembly Language ProgrammerEmbedded Systems Programmer
Required CredentialsAssociate degree or relevant certification, basic programming skillsBachelor's degree in computer engineering or related field, knowledge of embedded systems
Work EnvironmentSoftware development labs, electronics manufacturing facilitiesEmbedded device environments, hardware integration settings
Industry UsageConsumer electronics, automotive, industrial equipmentMedical devices, IoT devices, aerospace

While both roles involve programming close to hardware, an Entry Level Assembly Language Programmer primarily focuses on writing low-level code in assembly for specific hardware, whereas an Embedded Systems Programmer develops software for embedded devices, often using higher-level languages alongside assembly. The former is more specialized in assembly language, while the latter combines hardware knowledge with software development for embedded applications.

Job description

Silicon Engineering Group, you'll help design and manufacture our next-generation, high-performance, power-efficient processor, system-on-chip (SoC) solutions. You'll enable Apple products by ensuring Apple Silicon SoCs can seamlessly and efficiently handle the tasks that make them beloved by millions. Joining this group means you'll be responsible for crafting and building the technology that fuels all Apple devices. Together, we will enable our customers to do the things they love with their devices.
Joining Apple a SoC Embedded Software Engineer, you will craft and implement embedded software for System on a Chip (SoC) bringup and test. You will write software for Apple silicon in a bare metal environment, working closely with cross functional teams such as chip design, silicon validation, and product engineering, to bringup new silicon and ensure the quality and performance of every device manufactured.
Description
As a SoC Embedded Software Engineer you will design, develop, and support high quality, scalable software implementations that enable rapid device test and characterization of Apple Silicon SoCs in an RTOS runtime environment. You will engage with new Apple Silicon SoCs from pre-silicon bringup to mass production and beyond. You will write software to exercise and stress test various IP blocks and subsystems for Apple SoCs within a resource constrained environment. Focus areas could include the DRAM interface, CPU cores and caches, digital media blocks, graphics and compute accelerators, or I/O interfaces such as USB, PCIE, or SPI. A ideal candidate will have experience with SoC bringup, validation, and reliability testing along with familiarity with at least one of these SoC functional blocks. Knowledge of SoC test strategies for DRAM or Burn-in would be helpful. You will also have the opportunity to collaborate cross-functionally with all phases of operations teams from the wafer fab all the product assembly and final test. You will have a direct impact on Apple's future products by ensuring world-class solutions to demanding test and engineering challenges.
Activities include:
-Participating in SoC bringup, validation, and test
-Development of targeted SoC functional tests to screen for defects
-Support for test program deployment, failure analysis, and device characterization
-Use of soft skills and data driven approach to effectively collaborate and participate in multi-team discussions and decision-making.
Minimum Qualifications
A minimum of a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or related field with 3 years of experience.
Preferred Qualifications
2-3 years of embedded software development experience
Expert embedded C programmer
Experience debugging code on embedded devices
Experience working with an RTOS based software environment
Proven ability in problem solving and debugging complex issues
Excellent communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate complex technical concepts and issues
Experience delivering high volume, production quality software
Exposure to SoC bringup and bare metal programming
Experience with DRAM initialization, calibration, and test methodologies
Experience with digital video processing for example JPEG, MPEG, H.264
Experience with board level I/O for example USB, I2C, SPI, MIPI, DisplayPort
Experience with RTOS internals implementation and operation
Exposure to modern processor designs including caches, virtual memory, and instruction pipelines
Experience reading and writing ARM assembly language code
Experience with multi-core processors and thread synchronization
Experience with computational accelerators such as for vector or matrix math operations
Experience using laboratory equipment such as logic analyzers and oscilloscopes
Experience working with board schematics and debugging at the hardware level.
