About the Role
We are seeking a high-caliber Staff Embedded Systems Engineer with a specialization in the System-on-Chip (SoC) landscape. You aren't just a firmware developer; you are an architect of hardware-software integration who understands the nuances, pitfalls, and hidden costs of different silicon ecosystems.
As our SoC Expert, you will be the primary technical authority for evaluating and abstracting our software stack across various silicon platforms and will guide our product roadmap by leveraging your deep-seated opinions on vendor ecosystems, toolchains, and Board Support Packages (BSPs).
What You'll Do
- Lead Silicon Strategy & Selection: Lead the evaluation of application processors for next-generation products. Compare performance, power, thermals, and long-term support (LTS) across vendors like Qualcomm, TI, MediaTek, Rockchip, and Analog Devices and provide honest assessments of vendor offerings. You should be able to articulate why one vendor's SDK is superior for our specific use case, or why another's documentation makes them a risky choice.
- Lead Migration and Porting effort: Design, develop and maintain hardware abstraction layers (HALs) that minimize vendor lock-in, streamline future platform pivots, and enable the migration of existing applications and drivers from one vendor's BSP to another (e.g. porting a product from a MediaTek Genio base to a Qualcomm Snapdragon platform).
