• Develop and evolve embedded software and infrastructure for multicore systems using modern C++.
• Design reusable software components and abstractions that enable DSP and DNN processing.
• Translate requirements into robust software designs and contribute to architecture and code reviews.
• Collaborate on custom ASIC verification, bring-up and hardware/software integration.
• Optimize system performance, resource utilization and power efficiency.
• Drive software quality through testing, debugging, automation and continuous improvement.

More about you:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• 3+ years of software development experience, including 2+ years in embedded software.
• Strong programming skills in modern C++ and C, with experience developing and debugging close to hardware.
• Experience with Git and development tools such as CMake and GDB.
• Good understanding of embedded software design, testing and hardware/software interaction.
• Experience with or willingness to use AI-assisted development tools as part of a modern software development workflow, with a thoughtful and critical approach.
• DSP/audio processing, digital audio interfaces (e.g. I2S), ASIC integration, Python, TFLM, MATLAB/Simulink or CI experience is an advantage.
• Good written and spoken English.
