We lead, develop, and mentor some of the most outstanding people in their field! We assist in evaluating, crafting, building, bench testing, debugging, and failure analyzing firmware for new high-performance memory controllers and Solid State Drives that will increase performance, while reducing power, latency and SoC (System on Chip) complexity for the target markets. We work closely with firmware engineers, firmware test engineers, ASIC design engineers, system test engineers, systems failure analysis engineers, product engineers, firmware tools developers to solve multi-functional product development issues. Our work has a direct impact on the performance of global enterprise architecture. Come innovate with us!

Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to, the following:

·       Lead CXL-DDR firmware Architecture, design, development, and validation activities

·       Demonstrate proficiency in coding skills, failure analysis, and the use of tools that support these activities

·       Validate customer requirements and perform failure analysis on FW related issues

·       Develop structured source code targeting the embedded environment associated with state of the art memory

·       Perform design verification using a variety of verification methods, including simulation and product testing

·       Focus on firmware quality in the system and the target application

·       Participate in SCRUM/Agile processes and distributed code reviews

·       Develop new test tools and methods

·       Follow specific processes/procedures/work flows

·       Demonstrate the effective analysis of functional or performance issues with test environments or target host systems

·       Technical communications will be required between other teams and the firmware team (both verbal and written)

·       You will review, contribute to, and build clear documentation for work that must meet both internal specifications/standards and SSD industry standards and specifications

Successful candidate for this position will have:
