Senior Embedded Software/Firmware Engineer

Role Description

You will be responsible for Ethernovia’s Networking devices software stack development which will include:

• Embedded Firmware
• Kernel/user mode device drivers
• Stack extensions
• Debug and test utilities
• Automated unit/system testing

The drivers will integrate with the Communication Stack of a Linux and AUTOSAR Stack. The device drivers will allow the User application, Middleware, and Operating system to take full advantage of the feature-rich hardware. As for the firmware, it configures, controls, and monitors the communication device and interacts with the host system via device drivers to expose hardware features of the devices. Firmware code may also run as a standalone library within the device driver itself.

As a part of the Software team, you will be responsible for:

• Architecture
• Design
• Implementation
• Testing
• Integration of the device drivers rolled into Ethernovia’s SDK

These drivers are built ground-up for safety-critical automotive applications. Also, we build products with strict adherence to Functional Safety and hence every team member is required to fit into a culture of safety and best development practices.

Qualifications

• Bachelors or Master’s degree in Computer Science/Software or related field
• 6+ years of work experience
• Strong understanding of Software Development lifecycle including Architecture, Implementation, and Testing fundamentals
• Proficient in C/C++ Programming Language; experience in Python is a plus
• Experience with Software Device Drivers, preferably for communication devices like Ethernet
• Deep understanding of Operating Systems, Kernel, Platform/Device drivers, preferably Linux Operating System, QNX or Real Time Operating System
• Experience with integration and testing with Operating System Device Driver Interfaces
• Hands-on experience with Hardware, preferably communication devices

Requirements

• For Firmware role:
• Experience with Firmware, preferably for communication devices like Ethernet
• Experience with integration and testing of firmware and low-level code
• Hands-on experience with Hardware and embedded processors, preferably for communication devices
• Expertise in efficient code practices for code footprint and performance
• Nice to Have:
• Experience with AUTOSAR Communication Stack
• MCAL
• Experience with simulation and emulation platforms
• GNU or similar compiler, debugging suite
• Embedded programming, preferably with communication devices and hardware buses like I2C, SPI, Ethernet, USB
• Building Automotive or other safety critical systems using qualification methods/processes like MISRA, ASPICE and ISO26262
• Communication/networking protocols like: Ethernet MAC, PHY, Switching, TCP/IP, Security, Serdes, PCIe, NTB, and SR-IOV
• Video processing standards and protocols
• Code Version Control and Review tools/processes like Perforce/Git, Swarm
• Build systems like Yocto
• High performance drivers and test tools preferably networking and communications
• Virtualization and virtualized device drivers
• Mixed Signal systems - Analog, Digital, Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
• ARM family of processors or similar embedded processors
• Bootloaders like uboot or similar

Benefits

• Technology depth and breadth expansion that can’t be found in a large company
• Opportunity to grow your career as the company grows
• Pre IPO stock options
• Cutting edge technology
• World class team
• Competitive base salary
