System Software Engineer - DDR/LPDDR Protocols

Overview

Job Title : System Software Engineer

Experience : 8+ Years

Location : Hyderabad (On-site)

Skill Set : DDR (Double Data Rate), LPDDR (Low Power DDR), Memory Controller, Embedded Systems

Job Description

We are seeking an experienced System Software Engineer with strong expertise in memory subsystem design and embedded system development. The ideal candidate will have an in-depth understanding of DDR/LPDDR technologies, memory controllers, and low-level embedded software. This role requires hands-on experience in system-level architecture, performance optimization, and debugging complex hardware/software interactions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimize system software for memory subsystems including DDR and LPDDR.
• Work closely with hardware, firmware, and architecture teams to integrate and validate memory controller features.
• Analyze system performance, identify bottlenecks, and implement solutions to improve reliability and efficiency.
• Develop low-level drivers, boot code, and board support packages (BSPs) for embedded platforms.
• Perform debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG tools, and other hardware debugging instruments.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams for system bring-up, validation, and release.
• Document design specifications, test plans, and technical reports.
• Participate in design reviews, architecture discussions, and continuous improvement activities.
  
  

• Strong knowledge of DDR/LPDDR protocols, timing concepts, and memory subsystem architecture.
• Hands-on experience with Memory Controller programming, tuning, and validation.
• Proficiency in Embedded C/C++, low-level programming, and hardware interaction.
• Solid understanding of SoC architecture, microcontrollers, and embedded operating systems.
• Experience with hardware debugging tools (oscilloscopes, analyzers, JTAG).
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced development environment.
  
  

• Experience with ARM-based platforms, firmware development, or BSP development.
• Exposure to performance tuning, power optimization, and system stability analysis.
• Familiarity with UEFI, bootloaders, Linux kernel internals, or RTOS.
• Knowledge of scripting languages such as Python or Shell for automation.
