SoC Software Engineer

About the Role

• Join a world-class team building and maintaining software for complex heterogeneous computing systems.
• Work will span hardware, firmware, operating systems, and applications to bring sophisticated server products from early silicon through deployment.
• Opportunity to learn from experienced engineers while solving system-level challenges.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Design and develop SoC software, validation solutions, and test frameworks for CPU, SoC, and GPU-based platforms.
• Work may span user space, the kernel, firmware, and SoC boot software.
• Build next-generation system validation and reliability software supporting the journey from virtual prototypes and first silicon to production-ready hardware, large-scale deployment, and rapid failure resolution.
• Contribute to system software architecture and collaborate with internal teams to integrate new capabilities across the software stack.
• Work closely with architecture, ASIC, firmware, platform, and new product introduction teams to understand requirements and bring new computing platforms to life.
• Investigate challenging hardware and software issues, develop creative solutions, and improve the performance, reliability, power efficiency, and serviceability of platforms.
• Explore emerging technologies and industry standards, then apply learnings to solve real-world engineering problems.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Strong C or C++ programming skills.
• Understanding of object-oriented design.
• Familiarity with low-level systems software, device drivers, firmware, embedded software, or hardware-facing programming.
• Foundational understanding of processor and computer architecture, preferably ARM.
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.
• Curiosity about how hardware and software work together.
• Clear communication skills.
• Ability to collaborate effectively in a team environment.

Qualifications

• Pursuing or recently completed a BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field—or equivalent experience.

Ways To Stand Out

• Knowledge of Linux systems or kernel internals.
• Understanding of server, PC, embedded, or other complex computing architectures.
• Experience with SoC development, pre-silicon environments, silicon bring-up, or hardware validation through coursework, research, internships, or personal projects.
• Experience contributing to a team software project, open-source project, technical competition, or substantial personal project.
• Exposure to AI, automation, or data-driven techniques for accelerating validation, analyzing failures, or improving system reliability.
