• Proposing new features to the TEMU product to help out with software testing.
• Modelling of peripherals (e.g. interrupt controllers, Ethernet MACs, UARTs, SpaceWire controllers etc).
• Embedded Software Development (e.g. setting up embedded Linux, RTEMS or other systems to run in the emulator).

Relevant Skills:

• Experience with low level programming (e.g. OS kernel programming, bare metal programming).
• Good problem solving skills.
• Driver development and/or debugging
• Familiarity with hardware modelling / simulation in software.
• Familiarity with emulators and instruction set simulators.
• Solid understanding of computer architecture and how microprocessors and peripherals work.
• Familiarity with different instruction sets such as ARM, PowerPC, SPARC and RISC-V.
• Demonstrated ability to work with larger code bases (e.g. Linux Kernel, LLVM, GCC, etc).
• Ability to work with light weight markup languages such as AsciiDoc and Markdown.
• Ability to work with GIT

Programming Languages:

• Good knowledge of C and / or C++
• Assembler
• Ability to learn additional languages quickly (e.g. TableGen).
• Knowledge of other modern languages (such as for example Rust) is seen as an advantage.

Languages:

• Fluency in English required

The variety of the tasks and the scope of the systems to be supported require a high degree of autonomy and good analytical skills together with the ability to effectively cooperate within the team.
