SoC Embedded Software Engineer (Factory Support)

Quick Facts

• Role: SoC Embedded Software Engineer (Factory Support)

Description

Design, implement, and validate embedded firmware for SoC bring-up and testing in a production boot loader environment for Apple silicon. Identify and root-cause factory SoC failures, create diagnostic and stress test cases, and support functional test for device characterization, failure analysis, and mass production. Maintain and enhance debug/development environments, tools, and methodologies while collaborating with Product Engineering teams.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement firmware for SoC bring-up, validation, and test

• Identify, analyze, and root-cause SoC failures in the factory

• Enhance and maintain development and debug environments, tools, and methodologies

• Support functional test environment for device characterization, failure analysis, and mass production

• Generate post-silicon directed diagnostic and stress test cases and debug failure cases using multiple hardware and low-level software platforms

• Collaborate across teams using a data-driven approach for multi-team discussions and decision-making

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or related field

• 3+ years of software development/validation experience

• Embedded software experience, including debugging and characterization (preferred)

• Embedded C programming experience (preferred)

• SoC silicon bring-up/power-up experience (preferred)

• Problem solving and delivery of high-volume, high-quality software (preferred)

• Debugging boot loader experience (plus)

• Experience using laboratory equipment such as logic analyzer and digital oscilloscope (plus)

• Strong communication skills
