Job description
Structured overview of role & requirements
About This Role
- Design, develop, and maintain embedded software for Silicon Labs low-power wireless MCUs and SDKs, owning software support throughout the IC lifecycle.
- Develop and optimize low-level firmware components including device drivers, startup code, timing-sensitive system software, and radio control features for performance, reliability, power efficiency, and resource constraints.
- Debug complex hardware-software issues and collaborate with hardware, silicon, systems, and product teams to define requirements, support bring-up, and improve product quality through tooling and automation.
Minimum Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 7+ years of professional experience in embedded software or firmware development.
- Strong programming skills in Embedded C and/or C++ with experience in microcontroller software development in real-time, resource-constrained environments (bare metal and/or RTOS).
- Proven skills debugging at hardware/software boundary using tools like debuggers, JTAG/SWD, oscilloscopes, or logic analyzers.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Experienced embedded engineer familiar with low-level firmware such as device drivers, interrupts, peripheral interfaces, and timing-sensitive code operating in constrained, real-time systems.
- Comfortable owning software features from design through release and collaborating closely with cross-functional engineering teams including silicon and systems.
- Background or strong interest in wireless connectivity technologies and embedded systems optimization (power, performance, reliability) with capability to mentor others and contribute to engineering quality and tooling.
