Introduction:

We are looking for talented

Embedded Software Engineers

to join our

Automotive MCU Platform Team

, with a focus on

RTOS-based Software Development

and

Application Verification & Validation (AVV)

. You will be part of a growing team building MIPS' RISC-V-based real-time processors and their associated software stack - shaping the future of embedded control systems for automotive applications like

EVs, ADAS, powertrain

, and

domain controllers

.


This is a unique opportunity to contribute across the full silicon-to-software lifecycle, combining

software engineering

with

post-silicon validation

to ensure high-quality, safety-critical SoC solutions.


Here's what you can expect from us:


At MIPS now GlobalFoundries you'll be a member of a fast-growing team of technologists that are creating the industry's highest performance RISC-V processors. Small teams that are part of a non-compartmentalized structure - you'll be able to understand and have an impact on the bigger picture. A great deal of autonomy, with support from some of the industry's most experienced CPU engineers. An unlimited growth path - with the right skills, you can decide where you want to expand and grow in your role at MIPS. The opportunity to learn a great deal about the blossoming RISC-V architecture in cutting edge applications with industry leading customers.

What You'll Do:

Develop embedded software

components for RTOS-based SDKs, including:


+ Low-Level Drivers (LLDs), HALs, RTOS abstraction layers, and BSPs
+ Example/demo applications to showcase peripheral functionality and performance

Support post-silicon validation (AVV)

by:


+ Creating validation test apps that reuse RTOS SDK components
+ Bringing up first silicon and validating critical peripherals (ADC, PWM, CAN, LIN, watchdogs, etc.)
+ Supporting automation of lab and CI-based test execution

Collaborate across teams

- work closely with architecture, hardware, safety, and tools teams to align software with silicon capabilities and roadmap Contribute to

reference software and tooling

to aid customers in bootstrapping their own designs Analyse and debug complex issues using

emulators, silicon, and debug tools

like OpenOCD, J-Link, or Lauterbach Provide feedback into next-gen

MCU architecture

, based on software validation findings Contribute to the wider RISC-V software ecosystem, helping to ensure support for the architecture in various open-source projects

You Should Have:

3-6 years of hands-on experience in

embedded systems software development

Strong skills in

C/C++ programming

, with basic familiarity in assembly Good understanding of

RTOS concepts

(task scheduling, ISRs, semaphores, etc.) Experience debugging complex multicore systems, experience with debugging tools (OpenOCD, Segger J-Link, Lauterbach) Experience porting or developing on

FreeRTOS, Zephyr, AUTOSAR OS

, or similar platforms Familiarity with

bare-metal development

, memory-mapped IO, and driver development Experience in bring-up and debugging on

real silicon or FPGA platforms

Knowledge of

automotive interfaces and protocols

: CAN, LIN, SPI, I2C, UART Practical exposure to

test automation

, scripting (Python/bash), and version control (git)

Bonus Points for:

Exposure to

ASIL-D software development

, ISO 26262 process, or safety validation Prior involvement in

post-silicon AVV

or

hardware-in-the-loop (HIL)

test setups Familiarity with

RISC-V architecture

, instruction sets, and toolchains Experience developing or validating

motor control

, powertrain, or safety-critical firmware Knowledge of

bootloaders, secure update

, or

system startup firmware

What You'll Get:

Opportunity to work on

cutting-edge RISC-V platforms

with real industry adoption A fast-paced, engineering-driven environment with

minimal red tape

Mentorship from

veteran CPU and embedded software engineers

Direct involvement in building

safety-critical systems

from the ground up Exposure to a full-stack SoC development lifecycle: from pre-silicon to production-ready Flexible growth path - whether you want to specialize deeply or lead in the future
