Key Responsibilities

Firmware Development:

Design, implement, debug, and modify firmware for enterprise SSD and eHDD products using C/C++ in various environments (FPGA, simulator, real hardware).

Algorithm and Driver Implementation:

Design and implement software algorithms, data structures, and hardware interface drivers (e.g., for NAND flash, memory interfaces, I/O, power management).

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Work closely with hardware architects, ASIC, flash media, validation, and other cross-functional teams to define system architecture, ensure seamless integration, and support failure analysis.

Testing and Validation:

Develop and integrate white box and gray box tests, create unit tests, and use debugging tools like JTAG, Lauterbach TRACE32, and protocol analyzers.

Performance and Reliability:

Take ownership of the performance and reliability of the drive, designing robust error handling and recovery mechanisms.

Documentation and Processes:

Create design documents and follow Agile/SCRUM methodologies in the development lifecycle.
We are known for our extraordinary people who make the impossible possible every day. Questians are driven by hunger, humility, and aspiration.
