About FuriosaAI
FuriosaAI builds high-performance, high-efficiency AI compute for the Inference Era. Founded in 2017 by veteran semiconductor and AI algorithm engineers, Furiosa operates globally with offices in Korea and Silicon Valley, along with a compiler-focused R&D lab in Lisbon.
Our vision is to make AI computing sustainable, enabling access to powerful AI for everyone on Earth. We solve the AI hardware energy and operational cost crisis at the architectural level, rather than through brute force, building the world's first truly AI-native compute platform to unlock the full potential of artificial intelligence for every enterprise.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and maintain ROM code and early system initialization software
Port and customize Arm Trusted Firmware (TF-A / TF-M)
Implement system trust primitives such as Secure Boot, firmware update, and RoT components
Collaborate closely with hardware teams to perform SoC bring-up, low-level debugging, and silicon validation
Design system-level software considering performance, reliability, and security requirements
Minimum Qualifications
Strong proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems
In-depth understanding of ROM code, bootloaders, and early boot flows
Knowledge of ARMv8-A/M architecture, MMU, cache subsystem, and low-level system behavior
Experience with JTAG, Lauterbach, serial consoles, and related debugging tools
Preferred Qualifications
Experience contributing to TF-A / TF-M upstream
Hands-on experience with Secure Boot, provisioning, and device security
Experience with SoC bring-up on first silicon or FPGA prototypes
Rust-based embedded firmware development experience
