SoC Software Engineer

About the Role

We are looking for a New College Graduate SoC Software Engineer to help shape the future of accelerated computing within SOC/Data Center/Automotive/Embedded. Your work will span hardware, firmware, operating systems, and applications as you help bring sophisticated products from early silicon through deployment. This is an opportunity to learn from some of the best engineers in the world while solving meaningful system-level challenges.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop SoC software, validation solutions, and test frameworks for CPU, SoC, and GPU-based platforms. Your work may span user space, the kernel, firmware, and SoC boot software.
• Build next-generation system validation and reliability software that supports 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 our platforms.
• Explore emerging technologies and industry standards, then apply what you learn to solve real-world engineering problems.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Pursuing or recently completed a BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field—or equivalent experience.
• Strong C or C++ programming skills and an understanding of object-oriented design.
• Familiarity with low-level systems software, device drivers, and understanding of OS and computer architecture.
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, with curiosity about how hardware and software work together.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively in a team environment.

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.
