Your Role and ResponsibilitiesThe India System design team is responsible to own and deliver System design milestones for IBM POWER and mainframe platforms. The team collaborates with Global System design & development teams and stakeholders. As a Firmware Engineer, candidate will develop firmware for micro-controllers for the power/thermal subsystem of IBMs zSystems Servers. These micros perform functions such as monitoring temperatures and pressures, communicating with higher level processors, shutting down failing hardware and identifying failures.
Responsibilities
As Firmware Engineer, the responsibilities include- Design, Develop, and Test firmware and/or internal tools for power/thermal subsystem micro-controllers.
- Support the firmware and/or internal tools from conception through delivery to the field and to end of service.
Required Technical and Professional Expertise
- 4 – 8 years of relevant industry experience
- Understanding of micro-controllers and typical communication mechanisms such as UART and/or I2C.
- Around 2-5 years of total experience developing firmware or other low-level applications (device drivers, robotics, IoT, etc).
- Experience developing in memory restricted environments is a plus.
- Experience developing in an RTOS Environment (such as ThreadX) is a plus.
- Experience in C and an object-oriented language.
- Experience in generating test cases for embedded devices.
- Bachelor of Science in Computer Science or Electrical engineering
Preferred Technical and Professional Expertise
