Senior Member of Technical Staff, Firmware Engineer (SoC/RTOS)

Lumotive is pioneering the era of programmable optics. As a Senior Member of Technical Staff, Firmware Engineer (SoC/RTOS), you will lead architecture and development of firmware across multi-processor embedded subsystems integrated into ASIC/SoC platforms.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
• 8+ years as a firmware/HW/SoC architect or senior embedded firmware engineer.
• Proven experience with multiple embedded processor subsystems and integration into ASIC/SoC.
• Solid grasp of computer architecture and OS principles (memory, concurrency, scheduling, interrupts, caches).
• RTOS selection and bring-up (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX) including BSPs, bootloaders, and startup code.
• Firmware-controlled low-power design and measurement.
• Multiple firmware boot modes, including secure boot, signing, key management, and recovery.
• Driver development and HW module interfacing (USB, JTAG, I2C, SPI, UART, DMA).
• Firmware and driver development for Windows and Linux environments.
• Schematic/layout literacy for effective HW/FW co-debug.
• Proficiency with lab/debug tools: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD, and network/protocol analyzers.
• TDD experience and ability to implement robust unit/integration test frameworks; CI with Git-based workflows.
• Experience defining HW datapath engines tightly coupled with firmware control loops.
• Automotive/functional safety (e.g., ISO 26262) or similar safety-critical domain experience.
• Secure manufacturing/provisioning, OTA/update strategies, and rollback.
• Performance/power profiling and optimization on constrained systems.
• Python/CMake/Yocto or build/test tooling for automation and HIL rigs.
• Compliance practices (MISRA-C/CERT C), static analysis, and coverage tools.
