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 at the assembly‑la
