You will work within an Agile Scrum team, contributing to innovation, design, implementation, testing, and debugging of data path processing, software algorithms, device drivers, and performance-critical features for high-reliability storage systems.
Key Responsibilities :
Firmware Development & Integration :
- Design, implement, and optimize embedded firmware in C/C++ for enterprise storage products across FPGA, simulator, and hardware test environments.
- Develop and integrate low-level drivers, device communication protocols, and real-time data path algorithms for SAS, SATA, and PCIe interfaces.
- Implement object-oriented design principles, data structures, and efficient algorithms to meet performance, reliability, and scalability goals.
Agile Development & Collaboration :
- Participate in Agile Scrum ceremonies sprint planning, daily stand-ups, retrospectives ensuring timely delivery of assigned stories and tasks.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, validation, system engineering) to ensure smooth firmware-hardware integration.
Documentation & Lifecycle Management :
- Create detailed design documents, interface specifications, and technical notes for different firmware development phases.
- Support end-to-end product lifecycle from concept, prototype, production, to sustaining engineering.
Debugging & Optimization :
- Perform root cause analysis and resolve complex issues in embedded systems.
- Optimize firmware for low-latency operations, power efficiency, and high throughput.
Required Qualifications & Skills :
- Education : Bachelors in CS, CE or equivalent (minimum CGPA 7.5 preferred).
