• Develop and enhance firmware for DDR4/DDR5 memory subsystems.
• Drive both bug resolution and new feature development across firmware stacks.
• Contribute to long-term firmware architecture and system design decisions.
• Collaborate closely with hardware, validation, and system engineering teams.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to building a scalable engineering organization.
• Support development aligned with evolving JEDEC standards, including DDR5 advancements.

Requirements

• Experience: 4–12+ years in firmware development (Leveling available from Senior to Staff).
• Proficiency in C/C++ for low-level development.
• Python for scripting and automation.
• Deep understanding of DDR4/DDR5 memory systems.
