• Debug cross-domain issues across hardware, firmware, and PHY behavior
• Enable rapid iteration of initialization, configuration, and recovery flows
• Drive root-cause analysis for system-level failures

Validation Automation & Framework Integration

• Integrate RISC-V firmware into existing PHY validation automation framework
• Enable unified validation across simulation, emulation/FPGA, and silicon
• Develop firmware-driven test scenarios replacing or complementing external stimulus
• Build infrastructure for automated test execution and result collection

Validation Strategy & Coverage Expansion

• Transition validation methodology from directed external tests to software-driven closed-loop validation
• Define and implement coverage for:
  • Functional PHY behavior
  • Corner cases and stress conditions
  • Recovery and error handling scenarios
• Ensure reusability of validation content across programs and platforms

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with RTL teams on SoC integration and interface definitions
• Work with validation teams to align firmware-driven test strategies

Infrastructure & Toolchain Ownership

• Maintain RISC-V toolchain environment (GCC, linker scripts, startup code)
• Support debug infrastructure (JTAG, OpenOCD, GDB workflows)
• Drive automation for firmware build, deployment, and regression execution

What We're Looking For

Must Have

• 8+ years of experience in embedded systems, firmware, or SoC development
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ with bare-metal programming
• Experience with low-level system development:
  • Boot flows, startup code, linker scripts
  • Memory-mapped I/O and register-level programming
  • Interrupt handling and real-time constraints
• Hands-on experience debugging HW/SW integration issues (silicon, FPGA, or RTL simulation)
• Solid understanding of computer architecture fundamentals (CPU, memory hierarchy, buses)

Expected Base Pay Range (USD)

131,010 - 196,300, $ per annum

The successful candidate's starting base pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location and market conditions. The expected base pay range for this role may be modified based on market conditions.
