Firmware Engineer

Join the leading chiplet startup! As an Eliyan FW Lead, you will be working at a fast-paced early stage startup creating technologies that fuel tomorrow’s chiplet based systems with best-in-class power, area, manufacturability, and design flexibility. You will be developing FW for best-in-class PHYs and Controllers. You will work with a cross-functional team of experts that operate from first principles, innovate and push the envelope to create high-volume and high-performance manufacturable products. We offer a fun work environment with excellent benefits.
