Software Engineering • Mid-Level

Who you are

You have a solid background in embedded software and system development — your experience includes working on hardware/software co-design and understanding the intricacies of chip design. You are proficient in programming languages such as C and C++, which are essential for writing bare-metal software. Your familiarity with embedded Linux allows you to navigate the complexities of system-level programming effectively.

You thrive in collaborative environments — working closely with architecture, design, and emulation teams is second nature to you. You understand the importance of cross-functional teamwork in delivering high-quality silicon functionality. Your problem-solving skills enable you to tackle challenges that arise during the development process, ensuring that the end-to-end functionality of the SoC is verified.

You are detail-oriented and committed to quality — your approach to software development emphasizes thorough testing and validation. You take pride in your ability to write clean, efficient code that meets the performance requirements of various subsystems within the SoC. Your passion for technology drives you to stay updated with the latest advancements in machine learning and hardware design.

Desirable

Experience with machine learning frameworks or tools would be a plus, as it aligns with the focus of the team. Familiarity with cloud computing concepts, particularly within AWS, can enhance your contributions to the team. A background in silicon design or architecture can also provide valuable insights into the development process.

What you'll do

As an SDE in the pre-silicon team, you will be responsible for driving the pre-silicon hardware/software co-development for our machine learning chips. You will collaborate with architecture, design, and emulation teams to build new silicon functionality. Your primary focus will be on writing bare-metal software to verify the end-to-end functionality of the SoC and the performance of different subsystems.

You will engage in the design and implementation of software solutions that facilitate the testing and validation of silicon designs. This includes developing test plans, executing tests, and analyzing results to ensure that the SoC meets its performance and functionality goals. Your role will require you to troubleshoot and debug issues that arise during the development process, working closely with hardware engineers to resolve any discrepancies.

You will also participate in design reviews and contribute to architectural discussions, providing insights based on your software development experience. Your ability to communicate effectively with cross-functional teams will be crucial in ensuring that all stakeholders are aligned on project goals and timelines.
