Job responsibilities: Develop and maintain low-level software (BIOS and firmware) for novel hardware architectures. Develop and maintain device drivers for operating systems (mainly Linux) to expose novel hardware features (e.g., telemetry) and acceleration, as well as to support their emulation and virtualization. Provide monitoring, instrumentation, and telemetry to export system status and health metrics. Provide workload control and configuration, and API entry points to allow remote operation. Configure and extend emulation, simulation, and virtualization software. Interact with ICs from their and other projects to unblock themself, or to reach consensus on small technical topics. In particular: Work with hardware teams, influencing hardware/software co-design. Work with teams developing middleware, and/or contribute to middleware. Collaborate with colleagues through code reviews, bug triaging, design documents. Contribute to shared team responsibilities (CI failure triaging, documentation, code fixits, rotations).

Knowledge about compilation and linking process (toolchains, object file formats, binutils, dynamic loading). Solid knowledge of low-level development languages (C, Rust). Experience with assembly language (of any architecture). Experience with bare metal (without OS) development (e.g., embedded systems, microcontrollers). Experience with standard tools for source control (git), continuous integration, task management (Jira). Preferred qualifications: Experience with RISC-V development at the assembly-language level. Experience with kernel and/or device driver development. Experience with emulators and simulators (Qemu, Gem5, Spike). Experience with hypervisor technology (KVM, Xen). Experience with open source software development. Experience with system boot technology (UEFI/EDK2, ACPI, u-boot, devicetree).
