For more information, visit www.gf.com Join the RISC-V Revolution! We 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. What You'll Do Port and enable Zephyr RTOS on new MIPS RISC-V processors, SoCs, FPGA platforms, and virtual development platforms. Develop and maintain board support packages, device-tree descriptions, startup code, interrupt and timer support, and SoC integration layers. Develop or integrate Zephyr device drivers for interfaces and peripherals such as UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO, timers, watchdogs, Ethernet, CAN, and storage. Create reference applications, samples, tests, and SDK documentation that help internal teams and customers adopt the platform. Debug kernel, driver, boot, memory, interrupt, concurrency, and performance issues using emulators, FPGA or silicon platforms. Contribute automated tests to Zephyr test infrastructure and integrate builds and regression execution into CI pipelines. Collaborate with CPU architecture, SoC, FPGA, tools, validation, and customer-facing teams to align software with hardware capabilities. Contribute fixes and features upstream to Zephyr and related open-source projects where appropriate. You Should Have 4-6 years of hands-on embedded software development experience. Strong C programming skills, with working knowledge of C++ and embedded assembly. Practical Zephyr RTOS development experience, including kernel configuration, Kconfig, devicetree, west/CMake builds, boards, SoCs, and device drivers. Solid understanding of RTOS concepts: threads, scheduling, interrupts, synchronization, timers, memory management, and inter-process communication. Experience with bare-metal firmware, memory-mapped I/O, low-level drivers, BSPs, and hardware bring-up. Experience using Git and debugging tools such as GDB, OpenOCD, Segger J-Link, or Lauterbach. Python or shell scripting experience for build, test, and validation automation. Ability to read processor, SoC, and peripheral technical documentation and translate it into reliable software. Good to Have RISC-V architecture, privilege levels, interrupts, timers, and toolchains. Zephyr upstream contribution or open-source community participation. Experience with networking stacks, Ethernet, TCP/IP, device management, secure boot, firmware update, or MCUboot. Experience with FPGA, pre-silicon models, post-silicon bring-up, or embedded validation. Exposure to functional safety, security, or automotive/industrial embedded systems. What You'll Get Direct impact on a new RISC-V software platform and its Zephyr ecosystem. Close collaboration with CPU architects, SoC teams, toolchain engineers, and experienced embedded developers. End-to-end ownership spanning platform bring-up, SDK delivery, validation, and open-source enablement. A flexible growth path toward deep technical specialization or technical leadership.
