What You'll Do
- Team Leadership Build and lead a cross-functional software team spanning Linux BSP/SDK , platform drivers , and validation (AVV) .
- Define execution plans, milestones, and quality metrics for baseline SDK (APL) and advanced features ramp (post-APL).
- Mentor engineers and tech leads; drive design reviews, coding standards, and end-to-end delivery ownership.
- Platform SDK Development (Linux + RTOS) Own the architecture and delivery of the baseline Linux platform SDK (APL) , including BSP bring-up, device drivers, foundational middleware, build systems, and release packaging.
- Ensure a modular, maintainable software architecture enabling reuse across internal validation and customer deliverables; drive upstream-quality practices for Linux components (kernel, drivers, and tooling).
- Deliver reference applications, enablement guides, and application frameworks (e.g., vision/compute frameworks such as OpenVX where applicable) aligned to target markets.
- Lead enablement for key subsystems: low-power/PRCM , DDR , high-speed peripherals (PCIe/USB/HDMI) , networking/TSN , multimedia , and industrial connectivity (e.g., EtherCAT/ProfiNET/EtherNet/IP) .
- Post-Silicon AVV Define and execute software-centric AVV strategy for post-silicon validation.
- Validate key MPU platform subsystems: DDR , high-speed IO (PCIe/USB/HDMI) , networking/TSN , power management/PRCM , and foundational Linux enablement.
- Lead first-silicon bring-up , deep debug, and regression closure in close collaboration with RTL/DV/PD teams; drive issue triage and silicon readiness decisions.
- Implement platform and use-case validation covering functional, performance, power, and stability behaviours for key workloads (vision, cockpit/HMI, Edge AI, industrial).
- Establish release gates for software-based validation (ABV-style): test plans, coverage, and sign-off criteria to enable hardware readiness and SDK quality milestones.
- Build automation infrastructure for pre/post-silicon validation labs and CI pipelines (smoke, regression, performance, and stability testing).
- Cross-Functional Collaboration Drive VDK/SoC model enablement (digital twin) to accelerate early software bring-up and HMI/use-case development ahead of silicon availability.
- Work closely with system architects, hardware, DV/PD, and bring-up teams.
- Provide software-driven feedback to system architects and hardware teams on memory/IO subsystems, performance/power trade-offs, and driver/OS requirements.
- Align roadmaps and execution with internal stakeholders and external partners (IP vendors, driver providers, ecosystem collaborators) to meet SDK and silicon milestones.
- Customer & Ecosystem Engagement Collaborate with customers and ecosystem partners on bring-up, integration, and adoption of the MPU baseline SDK and advanced feature packages.
- Contribute to relevant ecosystems where appropriate (e.g., Linux kernel/drivers, toolchains, RTOS, validation tooling) to improve long-term maintainability and adoption.
Nice to Have
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in Embedded Systems, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering. 15+ years of experience in embedded/low-level software and platform bring-up/validation, with 2+ years in a technical leadership role.
- Strong expertise in Linux (kernel, device drivers, BSP bring-up) including board bring-up and low-level debugging.
- Hands-on experience with SoC bring-up and debug (JTAG, trace, emulation), and validation of complex subsystems such as DDR , PCIe , USB , HDMI/Display , and power management .
- Strong knowledge of networking and connectivity stacks: Ethernet/Linux networking, TSN concepts, plus common embedded interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO).
- Strong scripting/automation skills (Python, Bash) and familiarity with CI/CD practices for build, test, and validation pipelines.
- Good to have: Experience maintaining or upstreaming Linux kernel/device-driver code and working with build systems (Yocto/Buildroot or similar) is a plus.
- Experience enabling high-speed peripherals (PCIe/USB), multimedia/display pipelines (HDMI/MIPI), or vision/AI software stacks.
- Familiarity with industrial Ethernet/protocol ecosystems (e.g., EtherCAT, ProfiNET, EtherNet/IP) and/or real-time networking.
- Experience with virtual platforms/VDKs, SoC modeling, or digital-twin workflows to accelerate pre-silicon software development. More about us: MIPS is well-known as a microprocessor pioneer, having led the way in RISC-based computing to enable faster and more power efficient semiconductors for a wide range of applications from consumer electronics to networking and communications.
- More than 30 years after the introduction of the original MIPS RISC architecture, MIPS processors have shipped into billions of consumer and enterprise products.
- Today, MIPS is once again leading a RISC revolution as we build on our deep roots to accelerate the RISC-V architecture for high-performance applications.
- We are focused on delivering our first RISC-V products: the MIPS eVocore processors, which provide a new level of scalability for high-performance heterogeneous computing.
- Because of our RISC heritage, deep engineering expertise, and proven technologies, MIPS can accelerate development and deployment of RISC-V based solutions.
- We believe having a multicultural workplace enhances productivity, efficiency and innovation whilst our employees feel truly respected, valued and heard.
- As an affirmative employer, all qualified applicants are considered for employment regardless of age, ethnicity, marital status, citizenship, race, religion, political affiliation, gender, sexual orientation and medical and/or physical abilities.
- All offers of employment with GlobalFoundries are conditioned upon the successful completion of background checks, medical screenings as applicable and subject to the respective local laws and regulations.
