Job description

Join our firmware team to develop and support embedded software for next-generation Mixed signal ASIC/SoC for Optical circuit switching platform. This role is ideal for recent graduates or engineers with up to one year of experience who want hands-on exposure to embedded systems, firmware development, RTOS environments, and hardware bring-up. You will work closely with experienced engineers across hardware, software, and system teams to develop production-quality firmware and gain practical experience with embedded platforms.

Job responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain embedded firmware modules for processor-based systems and ASIC/SoC platforms.
  • Assist in implementation, integration, and debugging of firmware features under guidance from senior engineers.
  • Support development and validation of drivers and interfaces for embedded peripherals such as I²C, SPI, UART, GPIO, DMA, and related hardware modules.
  • Participate in RTOS-based firmware development activities including task creation, scheduling, and debugging.
  • Support board bring-up activities and system-level integration and validation.
  • Collaborate with hardware and software teams to integrate firmware components into the overall system architecture.
  • Assist in debugging firmware and hardware interaction issues.
  • Write unit tests and participate in system-level testing and validation activities.

Job requirements

  • Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
  • 0–1 year of experience in embedded systems or firmware development (internships, research work, and academic projects are acceptable).
  • Basic understanding of C/C++ programming for embedded systems.
  • Understanding of computer architecture concepts including memory systems, interrupts, and processor fundamentals.
  • Basic understanding of embedded systems and microcontroller-based design.
  • Familiarity with communication protocols such as I²C, SPI, UART, GPIO, Ethernet or similar interfaces.
  • Familiarity with software development tools and version control systems such as Git.
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
