Firmware Simulation Engineer

Who you are

• 5+ years of experience building and scaling high-fidelity simulation software for complex embedded, firmware, or hardware-software systems
• Expert-level proficiency in C/C++ and Python for both firmware and modeling development
• Extensive experience with simulation/emulation tools and methodologies (e.g., QEMU, SystemC, TLM, or instruction-set simulators)
• Deep understanding of firmware-hardware interaction, including the ability to translate complex schematics and data sheets into abstract software models
• Strong knowledge of high-performance storage protocols such as PCIe and NVMe
• Experience with embedded software development, SoC bring-up, and RTOS
• Experience with SoC, or hardware bring-up
• Good verbal communication & collaboration skills
• Must be willing and able to work onsite in an open office and team environment

What the job involves

• Everpure's System team powers the industry’s most innovative, high-performance, and highly available portfolio of products
• We build designs for the most demanding mission critical applications
• The team creates new products using an agile engineering environment to solve issues and deliver the right products that delight our customers
• Everpure is seeking a full-time Embedded Firmware Simulation 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

The application process

• There is no application deadline and we accept applications on an ongoing basis until the job is filled
