THE ROLE:
The Memory IO team is looking for a passionate and experienced Firmware designers for the pre/post-silicon development of high-speed LPDDR, DDR and inter-chip IO IPs. Be a part of the definition, design and development and productization phase of industry-leading Memory PHYs and interface IP. This opportunity includes enabling of new PHY designs at the microarchitecture, firmware/hardware co-design, and algorithm design level.
Be a part of a team that delivers Industry leading IP and help our experts in RTL, FW, circuit and architecture teams develop leading edge Memory interfaces.
THE PERSON:
Will have strong analytical/problem-solving skills and pronounced attention to details. Must be a self-starter, and able to independently drive tasks to completion. Will have strong interpersonal and communication skills
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Firmware design and development of DDR PHY & DRAM Training steps
- Firmware development of DDR PHY for ATE Testing, IP Char & SoC Power
- Pre-silicon FW coding and simulation against Architectural and RTL models
- Post-silicon lab bring-up and optimization of DDR Init and Run Time FW
- Post-silicon DDR Training enhancements to enable robust links for higher reliability / higher frequency margin
- Working with SoC/Product firmware teams to define features and spec
PREFERRED SKILLS:
- Excellent knowledge of C, C++ and any scripting language, such as Python.
- Good Knowledge of Verilog/SystemVerilog and digital simulation debug.
- Ability to adapt learn new toolsets and frameworks is required.
- Strong understanding of synchronization techniques (handshakes, message passing); knowledge of hardware level clocking and synchronization is a plus
- Post-silicon experience developing firmware on real hardware is required. Experience with SERDES, DDR, Memory Controller Design experience is preferred
- Strong understanding of computer organization/architecture.
- Laboratory experience, including the use of equipment: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, etc.
- Experience with low level, physical phenomena-oriented logic design is an asset (dealing with IO, clocking, voltage control, etc.)
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical or Computer engineering is strongly desired. Master's or PhD degree is a plus.
