What You Will Be Doing

Everpure is seeking a full-time Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer to join our device firmware team. You will be responsible for developing high-fidelity virtual platforms that abstract complex hardware behaviors to accelerate SSD firmware development. In this role, you will be responsible for:

  • Developing and maintaining comprehensive firmware simulation environments (e.g., QEMU) to enable shift-left testing, reducing dependency on physical hardware and accelerating time-to-market.
  • Creating accurate, high-fidelity hardware models to abstract controller logic, communication interfaces (PCIe, NVMe), and NAND media behaviors within Pure Storage’s DirectFlash™ SSD Modules.
  • Designing and implementing instrumentation tools to profile performance and analyze failures within the simulated environment.
  • Automating CI/CD pipelines to seamlessly integrate simulation and virtual platforms into our firmware release and validation processes.
  • Partnering closely with ASIC vendors to validate firmware behaviors against RTL and digital logic designs before physical silicon is available.

What You Bring to the Team

  • 5+ years of experience building and scaling complex embedded, firmware, or hardware-software systems.
  • Expert-level proficiency in C/C++ (object oriented design and C++ 11 and onwards) and strong Python skills for both firmware and modeling development.
  • Deep understanding of firmware-hardware interaction, including the ability to translate complex schematics and data sheets into abstract software models.
  • Solid Linux (kernel, bootloaders) understanding and ability to root‑cause across HW/FW boundaries.
  • Strong knowledge of high-performance storage protocols such as PCIe and NVMe.
  • Experience with embedded software development, RTOS and SoC and hardware bring-up.
  • Good verbal communication & collaboration skills.
  • Must be willing and able to work onsite in an open office and team environment.
