Firmware engineer

Firmware Fa EngineerRequired skills:Proficiency in SSD firmware design using assembly, C, and C++ programming, Python scripting.Proficiency in object-oriented design and architecture for re-useAbility to define and document sound architectural documents and models.Knowledge of storage systems, Flash memory, and device drivers (preferred)Knowledge of storage interfaces such as ONFI, NVMe, PCIe.Proficiency in debugging in an embedded firmware application.Proficiency in using development tool chains targeted for embedded processor.Roles and responsibilities:As a Firmware FA Engineer in the Solid State Drives (SSD) group, you will develop firmware functional integration activities that ensures the firmware subsystem meets the quality, functional, and performance requirements required at each integration landmark in the product development lifecycle, develop and deliver a functional integrity test process that is capable of continuously improving pre-integration firmware quality, perform failure analysis on Firmware issues and determine root cause for Enterprise Solid State Drives products.This role also involves designing automated solutions to exercise firmware functionality, verify reliability, endurance, and performance requirements of Solid State Drives for the enterprise market.You can expect to work closely with fellow firmware test engineers, firmware developers, system hardware design engineers, product engineers, Flash memory design engineers, and production engineers to solve cross-functional design issues. As needed, you will verify design using a variety of verification methods, including simulation, FPGA prototyping, and product testing.Your focus will be on firmware quality in the system and the target application, develop new test tools and methods.Using analysis equipment or software, you will demonstrate the effective analysis of functional or performance issues with the firmware and hardware in test environments or target host systems.
