Job Overview

Lead the development of bare-metal firmware that interfaces with chip subsystems (DSP/PHY-adjacent) and support bring-up/debug. This individual will serve as the technical lead / mentor to help make the Austin site “self-sustaining,” acting as a strong local technical resource and collaborating with the Israel & Boston team. Success in this role includes guiding others, leading the debugging strategy, and cross-site coordination.

  • Develop and debug bare-metal embedded firmware running on-chip, including interfaces to signal-processing blocks

  • Contribute to feature development and maintenance of DSP firmware and firmware infrastructure

  • Work closely with Digital and Analog engineering teams to integrate and validate end-to-end behavior

  • Support system debug and bring-up in pre-silicon and post-silicon environments.
