SW FW Tool Developer

Role: SW FW Tool Developer

Location: Mountainview, CA (Remote)

Duration: 12+ Months

The ideal candidate will have lots of experience in and around Windows OS running on ARM platform. The candidate must have Windows Application development using C# with .NET, Window application development using C++, WMI, MFC, WPF, Windows Internals and it's Security. They will also design, develop and test middleware applications that support the next generation of processor. This candidate will be porting stress test from pre-silicon test (ARM assembly language needed) to post-silicon. Such tests include SoC max power and Thermal stress test. Candidate will also be developing collateral to extract and process raw performance data (hardware counters in SoC) for application profiling. Candidate will be enhancing existing memory performance tools on ARM platform running Window OS for more extensive performance characterization. Candidate will be testing IO/PCIe performance using FPGA traffic generator test cards. Candidate will be developing overall platform stress test tools.
