System Firmware Lead (AI Memory Fabrics) – CXL/PCIe Memory fabric controller

The responsibility of this role is to architect and develop firmware for Kandou’s Memory fabrics products

Firmware is responsible for implementing and supporting the major differentiating features of Kandou’ products.

Basic qualification

• Strong academic and technical background in Electronics & Computer engineering. At a minimum, a Bachelor’s in EE or Computer Science is required, and a Master’s is preferred.

• Experience developing firmware (Bare metal/RTOS) to execute in on-chip microcontrollers/processors

• Minimum 15+ years’ (Lead/Architect) experience supporting/developing complex SoC/Silicon products for Server, Storage, and/or Networking applications

Required experience

• Hands-on experience designing and developing embedded firmware for PCIe/CXL/NVME protocols with proficiency in C (preferred) or C++, including development of C-based SDKs.

• Experience with RTOS/Zephyr OS firmware development and enablement

• Deep understanding of SoC interfaces to common IP blocks such as PCIe Controllers, NVME Controllers, DDR controllers, AMBA/AHB interfaces, on-chip memory interfaces, and other similar interfaces

• Work with various cross-functional groups such as architect, other development teams, QA/validation, product management and customer teams across various sites

• Experience in mentoring and train the team

Preferred experience

• Experience with storage or SSD firmware, including NVMe, PCIe, CXL or flash management concepts.

• Experience with industry forums and collaboration workgroups such as OCP and OpenBMC

• Hands-on experience with simulation or virtual platform–based development (e.g., Renode, QEMU, or similar)The responsibility of this role is to architect and develop firmware for Kandou’s Memory fabrics products
