Position Overview
Develop low- (BIOS, firmware, device drivers) and mid-level software (emulation, simulation, and virtualization) to enable the use of OpenChip’s novel hardware features and accelerators, bringing visible improvements to end users.
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.

Interaction with ICs and Other Projects
- 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 fixes, rotations).

Required Qualifications
- Bachelor or Master’s degree in a relevant field.
- Experience in the relevant field (3‑5 yr).
- Solid knowledge about computer architecture (CPU, cache and memory hierarchy, buses).
- Good understanding of pre‑boot and boot process, and Linux kernel internals.
- 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
