Role Summary
We are seeking a Senior SoC Engineer with strong ARM CPU subsystem experience to serve as the technical bridge between Hardware and Firmware teams. This role focuses on firmware-driven validation, system bring-up, and complex HW-FW debug.
Core Responsibilities
- Act as the primary interface (POC) for the Firmware team.
- Debug firmware-driven issues, including boot failures, system hangs, and performance bottlenecks.
- Perform cross-layer debug (RTL/SoC/Firmware) and analyze logs, traces, and waveforms.
- Support pre-silicon validation and post-silicon bring-up.
Required Qualifications
- Architecture & SoC: Strong experience with ARM CPU subsystems (Cortex-A/R), cache hierarchy, coherency, MMU, and GIC.
- Protocols: Proficiency in AMBA protocols (AXI, ACE, CHI) and memory ordering.
- Firmware Debug: Hands-on experience in firmware-driven validation, bring-up, and debugging boot flows. Ability to read C/C++ and correlate FW execution with HW behavior.
- Tools: Experience with Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, Verdi, or SimVision.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with emulation (ZeBu/Palladium) or FPGA platforms.
- Exposure to ARM CoreSight, trace-based debug, and Linux/RTOS environments.
- Experience in multi-core, AI, or high-performance SoCs.
