Embedded Software Innovation Engineer

What you’ll do

We’re looking for an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to join our Embedded Software team and be part of realizing a whole new paradigm in semiconductors and microprocessor design.

The role will be within our Labs organization, where we work on cutting edge technologies and prepare them for rapid commercialization.

The scope of the work is broad, varied, and technically challenging.

• Develop and customize firmware, OS/RTOS and low-level libraries to support Codasip’s standard and customized embedded CPU cores. As well as supporting our standard RISC-V cores, this work can involve enhancing Linux to work with custom RISC-V extensions, such as our CHERI security technology, or even completely new processor architectures developed using our Studio EDA tool
• Support the processor design teams with software expertise to guide their microarchitectural design and optimization
• Explore novel compute architectures and technologies
• Work with the team to develop our Yocto-based Linux distribution
• Work with other internal teams to enhance Codasip’s Studio EDA tool and improve software developer support and integration
• Support silicon bring-up and verification/validation of Codasip IP
• Test software
• Write documentation

The role demands flexibility and lateral thinking. You’ll work on both short-term customer-driven projects, as well as longer-term strategic Codasip software products.

As this is a Codasip Labs position, you will also propose ideas for new software technologies and develop these to proof-of-concept and beyond.

What we need:

• Extensive experience in embedded software development
• C or C++ programming experience
• Knowledge of high-level hardware microarchitecture and its effects on software performance
• A flexible and adaptable attitude to work
• A desire to learn and also positively influence technical direction
• The ability to communicate effectively

What we’d love you to have:

• Experience with RISC-V technologies
• Experience with writing assembly language
• Experience with different hardware architectures
• Knowledge of hardware and software security mechanisms
• Experience of software innovation
• Programming experience with Rust
