Job Description
The mission of this role is to architect and develop firmware and microcontroller subsystems for Astera Labs’ SoC and systems products.
Firmware is responsible for implementing the major differentiating features of Astera Labs’ products. As such, firmware is considered equally important to the hardware, and the firmware team is often customer-facing accordingly to ensure the needs of the customer are fully comprehended.
Basic qualifications
- At a minimum, a Bachelor’s in EE or Computer Science is required, and a Master’s is preferred.
- Minimum 5 years’ experience supporting or developing complex SoC / silicon products for Server, Storage, and / or Networking applications.
- Experience developing firmware to execute in on-chip microcontrollers as well as C-language software development kits (SDKs) to execute on system management controllers (e.g. BMC).
- Experience working with logic designers to architect and verify HW-SW interfaces on complex SoCs.
- Authorized to work in the US and start immediately.
Required experience
- High level of proficiency in C (preferred) or C++, including development of C-based SDKs.
- High level of proficiency in Python for automating pre-processors / post-processors and FW QC
