SoC System Software Engineer (ARM/RISC-V Architectures)

Rebellions is seeking an SoC System Software Engineer to design, implement, and optimize production-grade system software, bootloaders, secure services, and device drivers for ARM Cortex-A/M and RISC-V architectures. The role involves owning the Board Support Package (BSP), leading silicon product enablement, and driving software quality and performance initiatives. Candidates should have a minimum of 6 years of experience in system-level software development with expertise in ARM/RISC-V CPU architectures and low-level system software using C/C++.

Must Have

• Design, implement, and optimize production-grade system software, bootloaders, secure services, and device drivers for ARM Cortex-A/M and RISC-V architectures.
• Architect, maintain, and deliver the Board Support Package (BSP).
• Lead pre-silicon and post-silicon bring-up activities for Rebellions’ SoCs.
• Drive initiatives to enhance performance, robustness, and usability of delivered software.
• Minimum of 6 years of experience in system-level software development.
• Proven experience and solid understanding of ARM and/or RISC-V CPU architectures (ISA, MMU, caches, cores).
• Extensive hands-on experience developing low-level system software (device drivers, kernel modules, bootloaders) on Linux or RTOS-based systems.
• Deep expertise in C/C++ and advanced debugging techniques in constrained system environments.

Good to Have

• Experience in BSP and bootloader productization (e.g., TF-A) and system-level power management.
• Familiarity with Application Processor (AP) and Microcontroller (MCU) integration.
• Experience with SoC bring-up or hardware/software co-validation environments.

Responsibilities and Opportunities

• Production System Code Development: Design, implement, and optimize production-grade system software, bootloaders, secure services, and device drivers for multiple execution environments (Linux, RTOS, bare-metal) targeting ARM Cortex-A/M and RISC-V (RV32/64) architectures
• Core Software (BSP) Ownership: Architect, maintain, and deliver the Board Support Package (BSP) as the core software foundation that accelerates development throughout the product lifecycle
• Silicon Product Enablement: Lead pre-silicon and post-silicon bring-up activities, ensuring successful initialization, configuration, and validation of Rebellions’ SoCs for subsequent development phases
• Software Quality and Performance: Drive initiatives to enhance performance, robustness, and usability of delivered software, setting standards for validation, thermal/power characterization, and manufacturing screening processes

Key Qualifications

• Minimum of 6 years of experience in system-level software development
• Proven experience and solid understanding of ARM and/or RISC-V CPU architectures (ISA, MMU, caches, cores) in the context of commercial SoC products
• Extensive hands-on experience developing low-level system software (device drivers, kernel modules, bootloaders) on Linux or RTOS-based systems, with a strong focus on code quality and production readiness
• Deep expertise in C/C++ and advanced debugging techniques in constrained system environments

Ideal Qualifications

• Experience in BSP and bootloader productization (e.g., TF-A) and system-level power management
• Familiarity with Application Processor (AP) and Microcontroller (MCU) integration
• Experience with SoC bring-up or hardware/software co-validation environments
