Firmware Architecture & Process Improvements

  • Participate in firmware architecture reviews, ensuring quality and reliability considerations are incorporated into design (aligned with internal FW Architecture Review practices).
  • Advocate and enforce coding standards, testability guidelines, and quality processes across firmware teams.
  • Identify opportunities for simplification, refactoring, or architectural improvements to enhance stability and resilience.
  • Collaborate with FW architects on quality initiatives (e.g., error‑code frameworks, BCR processes, customer‑centric diagnostics).

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with hardware engineers, firmware developers, QA, sustaining teams, ODM partners, and integration teams.
  • Provide quality feedback in design reviews, program meetings, and cross‑partner syncs.
  • Support bring‑up, validation, platform qualification, and key program milestones.
  • Mentor engineers on debugging techniques, quality practices, and reliability analysis.

Risk Management & Compliance

  • Ensure firmware processes comply with internal governance, standards, and security guidelines.
  • Identify risks early and drive mitigation plans.
  • Support audits, internal reviews, and quality assessments.


Education & Experience Recommended

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent.
  • 7-10 years of experience in embedded firmware, quality engineering, hardware/firmware debugging, or reliability engineering.
  • Background in embedded systems, microcontrollers, low‑level debugging, and system architecture.

Technical Skills

  • Strong understanding of embedded firmware development (C/C++), driver development, bootloaders, EC/BIOS/UEFI fundamentals.
  • Proficiency in test automation, scripting (Python, Perl, PowerShell, etc.), and testing tools.
  • Ability to analyze failures across hardware, firmware, and system boundaries.
  • Experience with JTAG/SWD, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other debug tools.
  • Familiarity with continuous integration, version control, and quality workflows.
