Senior Embedded Graphics Software Engineer

As the Senior Embedded Graphics Software Engineer, you will support the development and testing of SDK on SoC devices and emulation platforms, focusing on the graphics processing unit (GPU) Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and the graphics stack for mainstream and next-generation MCU.

This role works within global MCU software development team and will work closely with more senior graphics software development team members, focusing on MCU graphics software development and test activities.

The successful candidate should be a fast-learning, result-driven, and self-motivated team player with an always learning mindset. He should have an inquiring spirit and be comfortable in a lab environment and in executing hands-on debugging for embedded systems.

The person in this role will be responsible for maintaining the current platform and extending the GPU HAL and software stack of the graphics SDK to new platforms as well as enhancing its features and content. The candidate will be involved in the extension of the SDK to cover new MCU members of the family as they become available.

Responsibilities

Collaborate with software senior graphics software developers to implement the HAL and graphics API for the embedded GPU on MCUs.

Design, implement and maintain the graphics API and the underlying graphics software stack, including the GPU and Display HAL layers.

Develop and maintain example applications and test cases to demonstrate and validate graphics features.

Play a key role in GPU-focused pre-silicon verification on FPGA platforms, as well as post-silicon bring-up, system validation, and debugging.

Provide support to Design Verification (DV), system validation teams, field engineers, and key customers as needed.

Qualifications

MS in ECE or Computer Science and 4+ years of experience or BS ECE/CS with 6+ years of experience.

Expertise in at least one embedded GPU IP, with a solid understanding of the full graphics pipeline and hands-on experience developing HAL and graphics software stacks.

Experience with OpenGL ES or other 3D graphics APIs.

Experience with graphics frameworks such as LVGL is preferred

Experience with vector graphics acceleration or software libraries is preferred.

Experience with embedded system display interfaces, such as MIPI DSI, DBI, DPI, or Memory-In-Pixel.

In-depth knowledge of ARM architecture, with a preference for M-profile (Cortex-M) cores preferred.

Strong understanding of embedded RTOS concepts experience with Zephyr and FreeRTOS is preferred.

Experience with developing embedded MCU code in C and assembly language on Arm Cortex-M Processors, with at least one MCU IDE from ARM, Keil, IAR, Eclipse, O-zone or other.

Good hands-on experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers etc. for debugging issues.

Experience with Jira, Confluence and collaboration tools.

Experience with source code control systems (git) required.

Understanding software testing and test automation principles.

Excellent problem-solving skills dealing with complex system level issues related to HW/SW debug.

Experience with scripting languages required and python experience is desirable.

Strong communication and documentation skills.
