Job Description:

As a Firmware Architect on the HBM Architecture team, you will define, architect, and guide the development of firmware and embedded software that enables next-generation Custom High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) products. You will play a critical technical leadership role defining firmware requirements, influencing IP selection, and supporting design implementation and verification. This role spans firmware architecture, hard-software co-design, and system-level enablement, working closely with HBM architecture, design, verification, and key customers to ensure robust, scalable, and performant firmware solutions for future HBM products.

Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Define firmware architecture based on design, system, and customer requirements including partitioning, initialization, training, test, repair, telemetry, RAS, and debug capabilities.

• Architect and guiding firmware solutions that meet HBM requirements for performance, power, reliability, testability, and manufacturability.

• Collaborate closely with HBM architecture, design, and verification teams to co-optimize firmware, RTL, hardware features, and IP selections, ensuring clean interfaces and long-term scalability.

• Provide technical leadership from early concept and architectural pathfinding through silicon bring-up, qualification, customer enablement, and product sustainment.

• Drive technical discussions with internal and external collaborators to clarify and align on key requirements and features.

• Drive innovation into the future Memory generation with dynamic work environment.

Successful candidates for this position will have

• Strong experience in embedded systems or firmware development, including low‑level programming and system control.

• Proven ability to architect complex firmware systems, interfaces, and system‑level enablement features for GPUs/CPUs/TPUs in large‑scale AI datacenter environments.

• Background in memory technologies such as DRAM, HBM, NAND, or related subsystem architectures.

• Hands‑on experience with low‑level firmware, hardware bring‑up, and silicon debug workflows.

• Exposure to RAS, diagnostics, telemetry, testing, or reliability‑focused firmware.

• Familiarity with high‑speed interfaces and protocols, including memory controllers, PHY interaction, or SoC‑level firmware integration.

• Experience working in cross‑functional silicon development teams and collaborating across hardware, firmware, and architecture groups.

• Understanding of DRAM operation and JEDEC standards—preferably HBM—and exposure to AI/ML workloads or datacenter‑scale memory systems, with strong communication skills.

Required Experience

• BSEE or greater

• 10+ years of relevant Engineering or Design Engineering experience
