From there, we create the core operating system and driver components and follow this through to finished silicon and SDK packages that we provide to application teams. Our goal is to address all the elements the processor controls and simplify the task of using these parts in a wide range of designs.

Your role will be as an embedded firmware designer as part of this design group, writing, testing, and debugging code for embedded processors on our SoCs.
