Contribute to advanced AI/ML algorithm development to improve power efficiency and reliability in the datacenter.
Develop Python-based tools to support firmware, configuration of IPs, and data collection.
Validate firmware behaviour on simulation environments and FPGAs before tapeout.
Build automation infrastructure to deliver custom releases and host binaries to customers.
Support post-silicon bring-up.
Participate in/lead design reviews with peers and stakeholders.
Work closely with hardware engineers to identify peripheral programming issues, root cause analysis, and areas of improvement.
Review code developed by other team members and provide feedback to ensure best practices.
Debug and resolve system issues, improve code quality, implement maintainable software practices.

BS, MS, or PhD in Computer/Electrical Engineering or related technical field.
3+ years of experience in an Embedded Systems or Firmware role.
Proficiency in C, C++ and Python.
Experience with Linux kernel driver development.
Familiar with RISC-V and ARM architectures.
Familiarity with hardware & software co-verification/emulation platforms.
Strong experience with build tools (Bazel, Make) and leveraging containers.
Solid debugging, troubleshooting, and performance optimization skills.
You rely on metrics to continuously assess and improve software quality and operational health.
You love learning new technologies and to continuously challenge yourself by finding new and better ways to solve problems.
Flexibility to adjust to the dynamic nature of a startup.
Ability to give and process constructive feedback.
Level will be determined based on experience and the interview process.

Preferred Experience

Experience with SystemC/functional device models.
Experience with QEMU.
Experience developing software telemetry tools that enable visibility, analysis, and optimization across embedded systems.
Knowledge of AMBA and JTAG protocols.

What We Offer

A dedicated ambitious team with a vast range of talent across software and hardware.
Become part of a growing startup in the chip-making hardware industry.
Offices in Markham - Canada, Ann Arbor - Michigan, and San Jose - California. Hybrid working model for all offices.
