Provide feature additions and bug fixes on current and prior chips.
A day in the life
A typical day moves between writing and reviewing C++ for the HAL, pairing with a teammate on a tricky bug, and learning how a hardware block works from its spec or from the engineer who designed it. You might add a feature to a driver, write tests for it, and work through code-review feedback, then dig into a failure that spans software and silicon. Your teammates are the HAL engineers you build alongside; the hardware design, verification, and firmware teams are close partners you will learn from; and your customers are the internal software teams that rely on the HAL to boot, configure, and debug the chip.
About the team
Annapurna Labs designs and deploys some of the largest custom silicon in the world, including the Trainium and Inferentia machine learning accelerators. Our SoC HAL team builds the low-level software that boots, configures, and manages these chips, sitting between the hardware and the system software that runs the server. We are a small team that works closely with hardware, holds a high engineering bar, and invests in helping engineers grow. Based in Cupertino, CA, we value mentorship, clear written design, and software that outlasts any single chip.
