With a global manufacturing footprint spanning three continents, GlobalFoundries makes possible the technologies and systems that transform industries and give customers the power to shape their markets. For more information, visit www.gf.com\nJoin the RISC-V Revolution!\nWe are looking for hands-on embedded software engineers to develop and enable Zephyr RTOS on MIPS RISC-V based MCU and embedded compute platforms. You will work across board and SoC bring-up, kernel and driver integration, SDK content, testing, and upstream ecosystem contribution.\nWhat You'll Do\nPort and enable Zephyr RTOS on new MIPS RISC-V processors, SoCs, FPGA platforms, and virtual development platforms. \nDevelop and maintain board support packages, device-tree descriptions, startup code, interrupt and timer support, and SoC integration layers. \nDevelop or integrate Zephyr device drivers for interfaces and peripherals such as UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO, timers, watchdogs, Ethernet, CAN, and storage. \nCreate reference applications, samples, tests, and SDK documentation that help internal teams and customers adopt the platform. \nDebug kernel, driver, boot, memory, interrupt, concurrency, and performance issues using emulators, FPGA or silicon platforms. \nContribute automated tests to Zephyr test infrastructure and integrate builds and regression execution into CI pipelines. \nCollaborate with CPU architecture, SoC, FPGA, tools, validation, and customer-facing teams to align software with hardware capabilities. \nContribute fixes and features upstream to Zephyr and related open-source projects where appropriate. \nYou Should Have\n4-6 years of hands-on embedded software development experience. \nStrong C programming skills, with working knowledge of C++ and embedded assembly. \nPractical Zephyr RTOS development experience, including kernel configuration, Kconfig, devicetree, west/CMake builds, boards, SoCs, and device drivers. \nSolid understanding of RTOS concepts: threads, scheduling, interrupts, synchronization, timers, memory management, and inter-process communication. \nExperience with bare-metal firmware, memory-mapped I/O, low-level drivers, BSPs, and hardware bring-up. \nExperience using Git and debugging tools such as GDB, OpenOCD, Segger J-Link, or Lauterbach. \nPython or shell scripting experience for build, test, and validation automation. \nAbility to read processor, SoC, and peripheral technical documentation and translate it into reliable software. \nGood to Have\nRISC-V architecture, privilege levels, interrupts, timers, and toolchains. \nZephyr upstream contribution or open-source community participation. \nExperience with networking stacks, Ethernet, TCP/IP, device management, secure boot, firmware update, or MCUboot. \nExperience with FPGA, pre-silicon models, post-silicon bring-up, or embedded validation. \nExposure to functional safety, security, or automotive/industrial embedded systems. \nWhat You'll Get\nDirect impact on a new RISC-V software platform and its Zephyr ecosystem. \nClose collaboration with CPU architects, SoC teams, toolchain engineers, and experienced embedded developers. \nEnd-to-end ownership spanning platform bring-up, SDK delivery, validation, and open-source enablement. \nA flexible growth path toward deep technical specialization or technical leadership. \nGlobalFoundries is an equal opportunity employer, cultivating a diverse and inclusive workforce.
