Full job description

About the Role

We are seeking Principal DSP Firmware Engineer to lead the architecture, development, and validation of firmware supporting advanced DSP algorithms on next‑generation silicon platforms. You will play a critical role in defining DSP firmware strategy, owning pre‑silicon development, and leading silicon bring‑up, while mentoring engineers across the team.

This role is ideal for a senior technologist who can own end‑to‑end DSP firmware subsystems and drive technical decisions from architecture through deployment.

Locations Available: Ottawa, ON – Córdoba, Argentina – Irvine, CA

Key Responsibilities:

Lead the architecture, design, and implementation of DSP firmware subsystems

Define FW control interfaces, configuration parameters, and runtime debug controls and diagnostics

Drive collaboration with system architects and DSP designers on algorithm partitioning, FSM design, and firmware controls
- Design finite state machines governing DSP acquisition and tracking control loops
- Optimize firmware for real‑time operation, latency, throughput, and resource usage to meet FW specifications

Own pre‑silicon test‑driven development framework for DSP firmware

Hardware Abstraction Layer generation and integration with simulation, emulation platforms
Collaborate with verification teams to align firmware validation strategy with regression infrastructure

Drive regression strategy, automation, and test reusability, including customer release automation using Jenkins pipelines
Debug complex firmware, DSP, and system‑level issues

Own bring-up of DSP acquisition flows
Analyze issues using firmware logs, traces, and instrumentation
Support regression testing teams by identifying root causes and improving test coverage

Enforce firmware coding standards, test coverage and best practices

Mentor and guide junior firmware engineers
Contribute to defining development workflows, and long‑term maintainability

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
6–10 years of experience in embedded/firmware development.
Strong background in DSP theory and algorithm implementation

Optimizing FFT algorithms and FFT‑based resampling (preferably on SiFive processors)

Deep experience architecting DSP‑centric firmware systems and expert‑level programming skills in C/C++

Familiar with emulation testing frameworks and firmware‑level mocking strategies

Experience with pre‑silicon development, silicon bring‑up, and system‑level debugging

Familiar with UVM based verification environments and SystemVerilog test methodologies
Familiar with FPGA and emulation platforms for pre silicon validation

Experience with silicon bring-up, board bring-up, and complex firmware debugging.
Ability to work cross‑functionally with systems, DSP, verification, and hardware teams
Strong technical leadership and mentoring skills

Preferred Qualifications

Knowledge of
- CMIS (Common Management Interface Specification) standards for optical modules
- RISC V architecture (SiFive or similar)
Familiarity with
- Operating environments: Embedded Linux or RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, VxWorks)
- Boot architecture: U‑Boot, custom multi‑stage boot flows
- Low‑level SoC and hardware interfaces: PCIe, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART

Salary Range for US

$150,000 - $250,000 Base Annually
The final offer will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, and location.
