Sr. Sustaining Firmware Engineer
Serve Robotics- Full Time
- Senior (5 to 8 years)
Candidates should possess a Bachelor’s degree in Electronics/Electrical/Computer Science engineering, with a Master’s degree preferred, and a minimum of 5 years’ experience supporting or developing complex SoC/silicon products for Server, Storage, and/or Networking applications. Strong academic and technical background is required, along with experience developing firmware to execute in on-chip microcontrollers as well as C-language software development kits (SDKs) to execute on system management controllers (e.g. BMC). Experience working with logic designers to architect and verify HW-SW interfaces on complex SoCs, and familiarity with SoC interfaces to common IP blocks such as PCIe Controllers, DDR Controllers, NVME Controllers, AMBA/AHB interfaces, and on-chip memory interfaces is also required. Experience with MQX RTOS or ThreadX Development or enablement is necessary.
The Senior Firmware Engineer at Astera Labs will architect and develop firmware and microcontroller subsystems for Astera Labs’ SoC and systems products, ensuring firmware implements the major differentiating features of the products and is equally important as the hardware. They will monitor and interpret changes in employment legislation across North America and develop HR policies to ensure compliance, conduct audits, deliver training, and advise management on HR-related risk mitigation strategies, and work with minimal guidance and supervision. The role involves prioritizing a dynamic list of multiple tasks, planning and preparing for customer meetings, and collaborating with customer-facing teams to fully comprehend customer needs, as well as working with entrepreneurs with a can-do attitude and thinking and acting fast with the customer in mind.
