Overview
TetraMem is a fast-growing well-funded startup company working on the next generation of
computing platforms with unique ReRAM-based in-memory computing technologies. In this role
you will be part of a world-class IC design team responsible for the development and
deployment of software solutions for a revolutionary computing system, which will reduce the
energy consumption of AI processing by two orders of magnitude over conventional digital
solutions. This will completely disrupt the AI IoT landscape. It is based on our unique computing
memory device with multi-bit-level capacity per cell, which is nonvolatile with excellent
retention and endurance.
We offer a very competitive compensation, commensurate with experience, and a full
benefits package including medical, professional PTO, 401k, and other perks.
Responsibilities:
- Testing and silicon debug, including writing the necessary testing code, testing platform setup, and silicon screening and debugging
- Design, develop, and maintain embedded software, including drivers and application code, to support device functionality and performance benchmarks
- Identify and document test scenarios and conditions for the functional testing of embedded software, ensuring comprehensive evaluation of both firmware and hardware interfaces
- Contribute to testing methodology and setup including probe card, packaged chip, and PCB testing
- Analysis of signal integrity, noise, power, and other design issues
- Record and document results, compare them with expected outcomes, and log defects in the defect tracking system
- Reproduce and isolate issues within embedded systems, providing detailed documentation for troubleshooting and resolution
- Work closely with the hardware and design teams to verify embedded system features and to help debug issues at the firmware and driver levels
- Help with product demo setup and running different demo benchmark/showroom projects as needed
- Hardware development on circuit board, system and user interface
Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- Strong background in embedded programming with proficiency in C/C++ for driver and firmware development
- Solid programming skills in Python and familiarity with MATLAB for test automation and analysis
- Understanding of basic I/O protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, GPIO) and experience with
- DMA and interrupt handling in embedded systems
- Working knowledge of microcontrollers (Arduino, Raspberry Pi) and/or FPGA (Xilinx or Intel)
- Working knowledge of testing instruments such as oscilloscopes, digital multimeter, function generator
- Basic knowledge of electronic circuits and semiconductor technology.
- Ability to work in a startup environment and to work both independently and as a team player
- Familiarity with test management and defect tracking tools (e.g., JIRA, Bugzilla)
- Proficiency in version control (Git, BitBucket)
Experience in one or more of the following areas is considered a strong plus:
- Working knowledge of in-memory computing and non-volatile memory
- Experience with RISC-V CPUs and related embedded architectures.
- Working knowledge of machine learning and neural networks
- Working knowledge of data converter systems (DAC, ADC)
- Working knowledge of analog circuits (OpAmps, bandgap, temperature sensors)
