About the Role

Develop and verify embedded firmware for AMD's mixed-signal power management IP, and contribute to the RTL design and verification of the controlling hardware.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain bare-metal embedded firmware in C/C++ for mixed-signal power management ICs.
• Own firmware architecture for boot and reset sequencing, interrupt handling, communication, and fault detection/response.
• Develop and maintain the firmware/hardware interface, including register map and programming model definition.
• Optimize firmware for ROM footprint, RAM usage, and real-time response constraints.
• Define and execute firmware verification strategy, including unit testing, firmware/RTL co-simulation, and regression automation.
• Debug firmware running against RTL in simulation and emulation environments, identifying root causes across the hardware/software boundary.
• Ensure firmware code quality and release readiness before ROM freeze, considering limited post-tape-out patching capabilities.
• Support post-silicon bring-up, debug, and firmware validation on silicon.
• Contribute to SystemVerilog RTL design and verification for team projects.
• Partner with the verification team to review test plans and ensure firmware-driven scenarios are covered at block and system levels.
• Work across Analog, RTL Design, Systems Engineering, Architecture, and Product Engineering teams.
• Contribute to design and code reviews, and mentor engineers on embedded firmware practices.

Requirements

• Passion for low-level embedded software and its associated hardware.
• Comfort working at the firmware and RTL boundary, with a focus on debugging cross-domain issues.
• Team player with excellent communication skills.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving ability.
• Judgment to ensure firmware accuracy in ROM-based designs.
• Experience developing firmware against hardware register interfaces, including bring-up on pre-silicon models and on silicon.
• Demonstrated ability to debug across the firmware/hardware boundary.
• Firmware development experience for ROM-based or non-patchable targets.
• Post-silicon bring-up and debug experience.
