Staff Engineer, Software Development Engineering - Firmware Engineering (Simulation AND Modeling)

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• As part of the HDD modelling team, the candidate will work on developing, maintaining and testing the SoC models using C#. The SoC models capture the register accurate functionality of the controller chip which manages the HDD/NAND storage. These models help in shortening our clients' SDLC and in facilitating the shift left paradigm.
• Understand SoC and Memory Architecture and develop C# based model for the same
• Understand new HW IPs / features and implement it in the model
• Debug and fix the issues in Co-Simulation Environment
• Debug failures and root-cause it by interacting with other teams/groups.
• Continuous Interaction with Design/Verification teams
• Partner with firmware development which is done in embedded C++ on multiple environments using latest standards C++14/17: FPGA, Simulator, eHDD (Enterprise Hard Disk Drive) product.
• We use SAFe(Scale Agile Framework for enterprise) for our software development. Participate in SCRUM/Agile processes.
• Deliver on cutting-edge storage products with interfaces like SAS, SATA, PCIe.
• Work with cross functional teams to develop HDD products.
• Understand end to end product lifecycle.
