We are looking for a Lead Embedded Engineer who will manage the day-to-day responsibilities of our embedded team, guiding application development for the world's most energy-efficient programmable processor. They will collaborate across all teams, gathering requirements and information to successfully bring up new silicon. Further they will work closely with the compiler team to implement customer requirements and build optimized libraries and firmware. This position is a unique opportunity to develop applications for cutting-edge hardware as part of a highly interdisciplinary team, helping to demonstrate the value of the clients breakthrough technology. If you are an engineer who wants to play an integral role on an intensely skilled team and wants to have an immediate impact building the next generation of energy-efficient embedded applications, this is for you!
Key Responsibilities
- Manage the day-to-day responsibilities of the embedded engineering team, including:
- Leading the planning of sprints
- Creating, rescoping, and keeping track of tasks
- Assisting in debugging to unblock engineers
- Develop embedded applications for the clients processor using customer requirements, specifications, and existing code
- Develop a board support package (BSP) for the clients processor and maintain a set of standard libraries
- Build out the clients software ecosystem, including optimized libraries for embedded TinyML, standard DSP kernels, and other common operations
- Assist in the bring-up and characterization of a new processor by
- Helping to write chip documentation
- Optimizing code to efficiently target the processor
- Working with customers to understand how their code performs
- Profiling the power consumption of application code
- Work closely with compiler team to test and refine compiler feature set
Required Qualifications & Experience Requirements
- Must be an excellent embedded engineer with 5+ years of post-graduate experience OR similar experience with a PhD
- Bachelor's degree in CS, Engineering or related field required; Master's degree or PhD preferred.
- Deep knowledge of at least one embedded platform, such as MSP430, STM32, Ambiq Apollo, PIC32, or similar
- Experience developing and deploying sophisticated applications under resource constraints
- Experience using non-standard build environments and compiler toolchains, especially for embedded systems
- Experience using industry standard development and debugging tools for embedded development
- Strong attention to detail, good work ethic, ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously, and good communication skills
- Good problem solving skills; ability to develop solutions and ideas when faced with problems or issues.
Desired Qualifications & Experience Requirements
- Experience building TinyML models and deploying models under severe resource constraints (e.g. limited memory)
- Experience bringing up new silicon or working on new silicon.
- Experience writing optimized BLAS and DSP kernels.
- Experience with compiler development, including LLVM and/or MLIR
- Experience with PCB board design using industry standard CAD tools like Altium or similar
- Knowledge of computer architecture
- Work performed for government contract customers may at times require U.S. Citizenship.
