Firmware Development Engineer

About This Role

• The Infrastructure Processing Unit (IPU), also known as Smart-NIC, is a PCIe-powered network interface card that significantly enhances traditional NIC capabilities by offloading tasks such as packet processing, traffic shaping, virtual switching, and more from the HOST CPU (Xeon).
• IPUs are the future of cloud processing and storage and are already being deployed in the data centers of the largest and most well-known cloud service providers.
• As an IPU Firmware Developer, you will be responsible for developing the firmware operational code.
• You will collaborate with architects, hardware designers, firmware developers, and silicon validation teams to ensure the FW is operational, working in a dynamic and innovative team environment.
• Your Key Responsibilities: Collaborate and communicate effectively with Architecture, Logic Design, and Validation teams.
• Analyze existing code, gather new requirements, develop new algorithms or necessary changes as needed, write the code, and debug on both pre-silicon and silicon platforms.
• Develop and integrate firmware for IPU systems, ensuring high performance and reliability.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex firmware issues promptly.
• Additionally, you will leverage AI tools to accelerate time to market and enhance development validation efficiency.
