Senior Design Lead

Job Summary

• Develop embedded software components for RTOS-based SDKs, including: 

• Low-Level Drivers (LLDs), HALs, RTOS abstraction layers, and BSPs 

• Example/demo applications to showcase peripheral functionality and performance 

• Support post-silicon validation (AVV) by: 

• Creating validation test apps that reuse RTOS SDK components 

• Bringing up first silicon and validating critical peripherals (ADC, PWM, CAN, LIN, watchdogs, etc.) 

• Supporting automation of lab and CI-based test execution 

• Collaborate across teams – work closely with architecture, hardware, safety, and tools teams to align software with silicon capabilities and roadmap 

• Contribute to reference software and tooling to aid customers in bootstrapping their own designs 

• Analyse and debug complex issues using emulators, silicon, and debug tools like OpenOCD, J-Link, or Lauterbach 

• Provide feedback into next-gen MCU architecture, based on software validation findings 

• Contribute to the wider RISC-V software ecosystem, helping to ensure support for the architecture in various open-source projects 

Key Responsibilities

• 3–6 years of hands-on experience in embedded systems software development 

• Strong skills in C/C++ programming, with basic familiarity in assembly 

• Good understanding of RTOS concepts (task scheduling, ISRs, semaphores, etc.) 

• Experience debugging complex multicore systems, experience with debugging tools (OpenOCD, Segger J-Link, Lauterbach)  

• Experience porting or developing on FreeRTOS, Zephyr, AUTOSAR OS, or similar platforms 

• Familiarity with bare-metal development, memory-mapped IO, and driver development 

• Experience in bring-up and debugging on real silicon or FPGA platforms 

• Knowledge of automotive interfaces and protocols: CAN, LIN, SPI, I2C, UART 

• Practical exposure to test automation, scripting (Python/bash), and version control (git) 

Skill Requirements

• Exposure to ASIL-D software development, ISO 26262 process, or safety validation 

• Prior involvement in post-silicon AVV or hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test setups 

• Familiarity with RISC-V architecture, instruction sets, and toolchains 

• Experience developing or validating motor control, powertrain, or safety-critical firmware 

• Knowledge of bootloaders, secure update, or system startup firmware
