Software Engineer

at  lowRISC CIC

SOFTWARE ENGINEER

We are looking for an experienced software engineer to join us in Cambridge to work on the groundbreaking OpenTitan project. The goal of OpenTitan is to make it possible to create high quality Root of Trust (RoT) chips using open source designs. As an open source software engineer at lowRISC you will work closely with our partners to develop the code that makes that vision a reality.

The software team at lowRISC works on a wide range of projects:

• RISC-V firmware, drivers and tests
• software hardening and security tools
• embedded operating systems (Tock, an OS written in Rust, and FreeRTOS)
• compilers and code generators
• device simulators (including fault injection)
• electronic design automation (EDA) tools
• performance and code size analysis
• cloud based infrastructure (such as continuous integration pipelines)
• hardware and software build systems (Bazel)

We write code in a variety of different programming languages. Our core languages are Rust, C and Python but the role may also include C++, Go, Haskell and even SystemVerilog development.
Open source is fundamental to everything we do at lowRISC and our team believes passionately in an open and collaborative approach to engineering. If that appeals to you and you have a track record of tackling challenging projects then we strongly encourage you to apply!

REQUIREMENTS

Our work is highly technical and a degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience is required. Relevant industrial experience, higher degree levels and academic research experience are also highly valued. A high standard of written and spoken English is essential.
