You will work closely with Cadence R&D engineering, marketing, partners, and customers. This position requires prior experience in embedded software development.

Responsibilities:

• Develop reference applications to showcase Cadence IP and subsystems. Typical applications address Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Automotive, and Audio verticals.
• Develop reference designs on different hardware targets, collateral, and training material for CSG system customers. Participate in trade shows and customer meetings as required.
• Port and integrate CSG software components for reference systems and platforms and create development SDK for partners and customers.
• Develop at all levels of device software for IO interfaces like HDMI, PCIe, and UCIe on embedded systems with and without OSes.
• Coordinate with partners to integrate 3rd party components and applications with CSG systems.

Requirements:

• BS in EE/CS.
• 0-1 years experience in a related field.
