New Yesterday

Austin preferred, will also consider candidates in California, Austin, Boston, Oregon
The Person: Will have strong analytical/problem-solving skills and pronounced attention to details. Must be a self-starter, and able to independently drive tasks to completion. Will have strong interpersonal and communication skills
The Role:
The Memory IO team is looking for a passionate and experienced Firmware designers for the pre/post-silicon development of high-speed LPDDR, DDR and inter-chip IO IPs. Be a part of the definition, design and development and productization phase of industry-leading Memory PHYs and interface IP. This opportunity includes enabling of new PHY designs at the microarchitecture, firmware/hardware co-design, and algorithm design level.
Be a part of a team that delivers Industry leading IP and help our experts in RTL, FW, circuit and architecture teams develop leading edge Memory interfaces.
RESPONSIBILITIES: • Firmware design and development of DDR PHY & DRAM Training steps • Firmware development of DDR PHY for ATE Testing, IP Char & SoC Power • Pre-silicon FW coding and simulation against Architectural and RTL models • Post-silicon lab bring-up and optimization of DDR Init and Run Time FW • Post-silicon DDR Training enhancements to enable robust links for higher reliability / higher frequency margin • Working with SoC/Product firmware teams to define features and specs
Preference & Skill Sets : • +5 years' experience as firmware engineer. • Excellent knowledge of C, C++ and any scripting language, such as Python. • Good Knowledge of Verilog/SystemVerilog and digital simulation debug. • Ability to adapt learn new toolsets and frameworks is required. • Strong understanding of synchronization techniques (handshakes, message passing); knowledge of hardware level clocking and synchronization is a plus • Post-silicon experience developing firmware on real hardware is required. Experience with SERDES, DDR, Memory Controller Design experience is preferred • Strong understanding of computer organization/architecture. • Laboratory experience, including the use of equipment: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc. • Experience with low level, physical phenomena-oriented logic design is an asset (dealing with IO, clocking, voltage control, etc.)
EDUCATION: • Bachelor's degree in electrical or computer engineering is strongly desired. Master's or PhD degree is a plus.
