Firmware Engineer II

About This Role

• Design Engineer II This is an opportunity to join a dynamic and growing team of experienced engineers developing physical layer IP’s for industry-standard high-speed serial-link protocols.
• The successful candidate will ideally be a highly motivated self-starter who can work independently to complete assigned tasks and collaborate with other members to achieve project milestones.
• It is expected that the candidate will contribute during all phases of firmware development for high speed SERDES - from architecture development to implementation, verification, testing and customer deployment.
• Responsibilities Work closely with PHY digital and mixed signal architects to figure out the details of FW functions and sequences.
• Contribute during firmware architecture development and implementation of the defined firmware features.
• Help to build system level prototype control software to develop/validate adaptation, equalization, and control algorithms for high speed SERDES.
• Implement assigned FW features and work closely with verification[simulation] and validation team to ensure the functionality and robustness of the implemented features.
• Support FuSa compliant firmware development.
• Work closely with verification and validation team to develop and execute test plans for FuSa compliant firmware.
• Support of Validation team during electrical and system characterization during post-silicon testing.
• Identify any FW and HW related functionality and performance issues and implement any necessary FW improvements to address these issues.
• Support Product Engineering, System Validation and Design team to debug IP issues during customer deployment of the IP and provide hot fixes.
• Create and maintain comprehensive documentation related to firmware design, development, bug fixes and compliance testing.
• Desired Skills B.Tech with 4yrs or M.Tech with 2 yrs in Electrical/Electronics Engineering Solid programming knowledge in C/C++ and Python Strong problem-solving and communication skills Understanding of wireline communication principles and digital signal processing techniques is a plus Knowledge in mixed signal circuit design is a plus Experience with silicon validation process and debug is a plus Experience with digital verification environment and tools is a plus Understanding of FuSa compliance is a plus We’re doing work that matters.
• Help us solve what others can’t.
