Top Preferred Skills

SystemC TLM or QEMU
Modern C++
ARM Architecture (CPU, GIC, CoreSight Debug) 4. Firmware and/or Device Driver Development and Debug
Git Revision Control


Technologies: Virtual Platform, SoC Architecture, CPU Firmware, Software Engineer

Principal Duties And Responsibilities

Leverage advanced software/hardware systems knowledge and experience to design, develop, create, and modify virtual models.
Define software requirements to develop complex SoC TLM models.
Design and implement TLM models for complex, large-scale products and systems.
Lead design, coding, and testing efforts to ensure that projects are completed to specifications and schedules.
Perform code reviews and regression tests, as well as triage and fix issues to ensure the quality of code.
Collaborate with individuals outside the software function (e.g., hardware, systems, and test engineers) to increase leverage and design solutions that work with other components of a specific project.


Level Of Responsibility

Works independently with minimal supervision.
Provides supervision/guidance to other team members.
Decision-making is critical in nature and highly impacts program, product, or project success.
Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey complex information. May require negotiation, influence, tact, etc.
Has a moderate amount of influence over key organizational decisions (e.g., is consulted by senior leadership to make key decisions).
Tasks often require multiple steps which can be performed in various orders; extensive planning, problem-solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
