At a minimum, a Bachelor’s in EE or Computer Science is required. Minimum 5 years' experience supporting or developing complex SoC/silicon products for Server, Storage, and/or Networking applications. Experience developing firmware to execute with on-chip microcontrollers and C-language software development kits (SDKs) to execute on system host CPUs and embedded microprocessors. Experience working with logic designers to implement and test HW-SW interfaces on complex SoCs. Professional attitude with the ability to prioritize a dynamic list of multiple tasks, and to work with minimal guidance and supervision. Entrepreneurial, open-minded behavior and can-do attitude. Think and act fast with the customer in mind! Can start immediately. ### Required experience High level of proficiency in C (preferred) or C++, including development of C-based SDKs and firmware. Proficient in Python for scripting. Ability to design, implement, and write unit-level tests. Working knowledge of software build environments, gcc/make. Experience with developer workflows, SCM (preferably git), code reviews, CI. Hands-on experience with Server, Storage, and/or Networking equipment. Familiarity with SoC interfaces to various HW blocks, on-chip memory interfaces, and other similar interfaces that are common to chip design. ### Preferred experience Firmware development experience using RTOS. Experience developing boot-ROM and familiarity working in pre-Silicon environments (Simulation and emulation). Experience with secure boot flows (authentication, attestation & standards like DICE, Caliptra) is an asset. We know that creativity and innovation happen more often when teams include diverse ideas, backgrounds, and experiences, and we actively encourage everyone with relevant experience to apply, including people of color, LGBTQ+ and non-binary people, veterans, parents, and individuals with disabilities. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Oct 20, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 25, 2026 - Last checked: Nov 8, 2026 - Listed for: 19 days - Location: San Jose[Apply on Astera Labs’s careers site →](https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/asteralabs/jobs/4745535005) ## Hiring at Astera Labs - Open jobs: 179 - New in the last 7 days: After two weekly collections - Tracked since: Jul 12, 2026 [All Astera Labs jobs](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/astera-labs/) · [Weekly hiring report](/reports/hiring/) ## More jobs at Astera Labs ### [Firmware Engineer Tech Lead](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/astera-labs/jobs/3429730493dbb45e1286/) San Jose ### [Formal Verification and RTL Design Software Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/astera-labs/jobs/86a7090fdb2d8635b862/) San Jose ### [Senior Embedded Software Engineer - Ethernet Retimers](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/astera-labs/jobs/5f0383cb1520019b50e0/) San Jose ### [Sr. Software Engineer - Manufacturing Data & Test Infrastructure](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/astera-labs/jobs/15e6fa4b298019f4f87f/) San Jose ### [Tech Lead Software Engineer, Internal Apps](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/astera-labs/jobs/9518b1256b1a3c6fd6a8/) San Jose ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Senior Staff Firmware Engineer, Firmware Engineering](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/sandisk/jobs/87c7578491bc6b5b905f/) Sandisk ### [Firmware Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/accenture/jobs/1d088fa4c73a9e59de0b/) Accenture ### [Firmware Engineer lll](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/totalenergies/jobs/3a86d5e7b50407cc63fe/) TotalEnergies ### [Camera Firmware Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/qualcomm/jobs/9424f2cdbb0655457275/) Qualcomm · Hyderabad, Telangāna, India ### [Firmware Engineer, Staff](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/qualcomm/jobs/b3d0e93081d96fb0ce6f/) Qualcomm · Toronto, Ontario, Canada [Software Engineering jobs](/functions/software-engineering/) OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
