Staff Firmware Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Staff Firmware Engineer

Description

You will develop and troubleshoot embedded firmware in C for non-volatile storage systems, with a focus on NAND flash back-end I/O datapath and error handling. The role requires advanced debugging using JTAG and NAND logic signal analyzers, plus strong scripting and tooling skills (e.g., Python). You will collaborate across functions and may lead junior engineers.

Responsibilities

• Develop embedded firmware in C for storage/NAND-related systems
• Diagnose and resolve NAND issues using JTAG-based debugging and NAND logic signal analysis
• Implement and validate I/O datapath logic, including NAND error handling
• Use programming tools/scripting (Python) to accelerate debugging and development
• Work effectively in cross-functional teams and under competing priorities

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field
• 8+ years of firmware development experience
• In-depth embedded firmware development expertise in C
• Strong NAND/non-volatile storage knowledge and back-end I/O datapath error handling
• Extensive JTAG debugging experience
• Experience using NAND logic signal analyzer for NAND-related issues
• Storage interface knowledge (ideally PCIe/NVMe, SATA, or SAS)
• Ability to work independently with minimal day-to-day supervision
• Experience leading/supervising junior engineers/technicians
• Ability to operate in multi-functional teams under multiple priorities

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision plan options
• Income protection benefits for illness/injury
• Paid family leave
• Robust paid time-off program and paid holidays
