Silicon Firmware Engineer

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Embedded Software Engineer to design, develop, and optimize low-level software with a strong emphasis on software/hardware co-operation. The role involves working closely with hardware engineers to shape firmware architecture, drive hardware bring-up, and ensure seamless integration across the full embedded stack -- from BSP and firmware drivers through RTOS services and platform-level software.

What you will do:

• Core Responsibilities

  · Embedded Software Development: Plan, implement, and verify low-level software for embedded systems, including BSP, firmware drivers, and ROM code.

  · RTOS Application and Driver Development: Develop device drivers for accelerators and heterogeneous multi-processor platform applications, as well as system services for operating systems such as Zephyr RTOS or FreeRTOS.

  · Software/Hardware Co-design: Plan hardware accelerator usage models and software interfaces, including register definitions, task orchestration, and data flows.

  · System Verification: Perform verification tasks related to firmware and hardware interactions, such as data flow profiling and hardware benchmarking.

  · Embedded Security: Design and implement security mechanisms at the firmware level, including secure boot, trusted execution environments (TEE), and control flow integrity to ensure robust protection across the platform.

  Testing and Automation

  · Hardware Simulation and Emulation: Verify software functionality and hardware interactions using simulation and emulation environments, including Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) setups and hardware debugging tools.

  · Continuous Integration and Test Frameworks: Develop and maintain test frameworks and test vectors for embedded systems; integrate automated testing pipelines with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps.
