Software Engineer – Board Bring-up & Diagnostics

Bring-up software is used by Hardware designers early in the development cycle (proto stage) to accelerate the delivery of good working boards to the software development team. The team’s work includes the development and integration of low-level device drivers, own developed utilities as well as 3rd party Software components into a scripting environment. Close collaboration with the HW and SW teams is necessary to ensure maximum test coverage and code re-use. The diags SW will verify and stress the product in a lab environment as part of the DVT (Design Verification Tests) in accordance with product specifications. Diagnostics leverage subsets of the bring-up software to create test code that is embedded in the factory test. Diags are a key component of the production E2E test strategy; they help drive the best possible test coverage and debug capability while reducing the cost of test.

• Design and develop HW bring-up software for a current designed product out of the ION high speed data program
• Evolve bring-up SW towards diagnostics tools
• Develop regression tests to verify the diags tools
• Contribute to the E2E re-use from HW bring-up towards production diagnostics
• Documentation of the coded diags tools

You Have:

• Masters or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering, or Computer Engineering with 2+ years of related up to date experience; open to new graduates too
• Experience in C/C++ and Pyhon in a Linux Environment is essential as well as a solid understanding Object Oriented Analysis and Design Patterns
• Deep understanding of writing code on low level direct hardware access using device data sheets for accessing embedded controller and their peripherals and associated low level interface protocols is mandatory
• Well-organized, methodical, organizational and a proven ability to work with a variety of diverse people over multiple time zones to achieve a common goal

Nice To Have:

• Familiarity with SW development Environment (Jenkins, docker, …) and version-control tools like Git/GitLab
• Knowledge of real time OS and embedded Linux and using its debug capabilities
• Comfortable reading product hardware schematics and performing digital circuit analysis. Experienced in analyzing and debugging failures
• Detail-oriented person with an ability to develop comprehensive code to thoroughly exercise HW functionality of an assigned product
• Flexible, creative individual who can debug product problems in an environment where debug tools are not always well-developed
