**Responsibilities**:

- Writing hardware abstraction layer drivers for communication peripherals common in automotive systems, especially Ethernet, SPI, CAN and LIN.
- Writing firmware for handling data and control traffic over UDP, TCP and PTP protocols commonly used in automotive Ethernet.
- Implementing memory-efficient light-weight RTOS such as FreeRTOS on ARM Cortex M and R series processors.
- Prototyping firmware systems in pre-silicon stages using FPGA or simulation platforms to have code ready for silicon bring up on day 1.
- Perform integration of DSP firmware modules in SoC platforms
- Implement IPC mechanisms between different processors
- Familiarize with different DSP processors to efficiently implement algorithms based in architecture-specific intrinsic and/or compiler auto vectorization
- Understand customer requirements and translate them into development specifications
- Writing software documentation, and presenting it to peers and management cogently.

**Job Requirements**:
With us, you must love being part of an organization where everyone makes a difference and contributes to the company's success. **Creativity**, **Ownership **and **Excellence **are what we value.
