About the Role
Senior Principal Firmware Engineer. 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, as applied to Die-2_die and Chiplet Interconnects. The successful candidate will ideally be a highly motivated self-starter who is able to work independently to complete assigned tasks and can also contribute to project leadership. It is expected that the candidate will contribute during all phases of firmware development for high speed Die-2-Die, UCIe IPs from firmware architecture development to implementation, verification, testing and cust
omer deployment.
Responsibilities
Work closely with UCIe PHY digital and mixed signal architects to figure out the details of FW func
tions and sequences.Contribute during firmware architecture development and implementation of the define
d firmware features.Help to build system level prototype control software to develop/validate adaptation, equalization, and control algorithms for
high speed UCIe IPs.Validate the developed firmware in Emulation based models
and in Simulations.Implement assigned FW features and work closely with verification [simulation] and validation team to ensure the functionality and robustness of the i
mplemented features.Support of Validation team during electrical and system characterization during p
ost-silicon testing.Identify any FW and HW related functionality and performance issues and implement any necessary FW improvement and work around codes to a
ddress these issues.Support Product Engineering, System Validation and Design team to debug IP issues during customer deployment of the IP an
d provide hot fixes.Create and maintain comprehensive documentation related to firmware design, development, bug fixes and
compliance tes
ting.
Required Skills
B.Tech with 10yrs or M.Tech with 9yrs in Electrical/
Electronics Engineering.Solid programming knowle
dge in C/C++ and Python.Understanding of wireline communication principles and digital signal process
ing techniques are must.Strong problem solving a
nd communication skills.Hands on Proven experience in developing for Hardware based D
SP acceleration engines.Experience with silicon validation proc
ess and debug is a plus.Experience with digital verification environm
ent and tools is a plus.Code development and debug expertise, co
de profiling using IDEs.
