SOC Firmware Engineer

Company Background

Luxor specializes in the physical delivery of hashrate (compute power). Over the past four years, we have been acting as a buyer of hashrate, purchasing and mining over $500mm worth. We currently have 140,000 machines that sell us their hashrate daily.

We believe that proof-of-work is the future of decentralized blockchains and we want to help build the underlying infrastructure to support it. We are building a suite of products around compute power as an asset class. Our new venture is custom-firmware for cryptocurrency mining ASICs, a valuable and demanded product in the market.

This role will report directly to the CPO. This position is remote within the US/Canada with the possibility of hybrid depending on location.

Job Requirements:

• Experience with Xilinx Zync SOC embedded Linux programming
• Experience with creating firmware images using Xilinx Vivado and Petalinux for Xilinx Zynq SOC
• Verilog programming experience, especially test benches
• Rust programming experience
• Reverse engineering experience, especially for the ARM platform used by the Xilinx Zynq SOC
• English language proficiency
• Bachelors in Engineering or 4 years of relevant experience

Responsibilities:

• At the core of this position, you will be building releases of firmwares for an embedded system consisting of some ASICs and a Xilinx SOC.
• We do have a working firmware and what we need is an engineer that can take responsibility for building, testing and maintaining the releases.
• We also will be adding features to this firmware, so finding and fixing bugs as well as feature additions are another thing you will do.
• The firmware will be updatable using a remote GUI. You will work closely with the programmer of this GUI to support and implement this process.
