Focus Areas:

Experience Required: 4 to 15 Years

• Development and maintenance of CPU subsystem validation infrastructure, involving both bare-metal and OS-based full-stack environments (such as TFA, Linux, hypervisor, TEE).
• Execution and debugging of functional validation for custom CPU features.
• Enablement and validation of low-power and DVFS (Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling) features for CPU domains.
• Debugging and profiling support across bare-metal and full-stack environments.

Required Skills:

• CPU Microarchitecture Knowledge:
• ARM v8/v9 architecture (preferred).
• Low-level firmware and architecture-specific code.
• Subsystem Fundamentals:
• Caches, MMU, interrupts, debug subsystems, and exception handling.
• Software-Hardware Stack Expertise:
• Experience with one or more of RTOS, Linux kernel, trusted firmware, hypervisors, and device drivers.
• Strong bring-up and debugging skills in complex environments.
