Position Overview

We are seeking a Firmware Engineer to join our Dallas Design Center. In this role, you will perform all the software development cycle for wireless communications firmware on advanced ASIC and SoC platforms. You will mentor junior engineers, influence architectural decisions, and collaborate across disciplines to deliver high-performance, low-power embedded solutions. You will work with a diverse set of software and hardware engineers from various backgrounds on all stages of development from definition to development and customer support.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, design, and implement embedded firmware for custom ASICs and SoCs, using the C programming language at the physical layer and application layer of the wireless stack.
• Software development including RTOS integration (including Zephyr OS), device drivers, and system-level software.
• Collaborate with hardware, systems, and applications teams to define software requirements and ensure seamless integration.
• Drive debugging and bring-up of new silicon platforms using JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
• Optimize software for performance, power efficiency, and memory usage.
• Conduct code reviews, mentor junior developers, and promote best practices in software engineering.
• Contribute to project planning, risk assessment, and technical documentation.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

• Proven track record of debugging complex embedded systems and working closely with hardware teams
• Proficient with electrical lab equipment (oscilloscope, multi-meter, power supply), familiar with embedded system PCB schematics.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with wireless communication protocols (e.g., BLE, Zigbee, Wi-Fi).
• Hands-on experience with Zephyr OS in real-world embedded applications.
• Familiarity with secure boot, firmware update mechanisms, and embedded security.
• Exposure to ASIC/FPGA development environments and simulation tools.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and version control systems (e.g., Git, Jenkins).
