This role is key to supporting multiple concurrent releases of complex silicon IP and system-level platforms, enabling engineers and partners to effectively integrate, configure, and deploy SoC-based solutions.
Job Overview:
You will be producing developer-focused documentation for hardware blocks, RTL interfaces, firmware, build-systems, and system-integration workflows. You will work closely with the various engineering teams to gather relevant technical knowledge and deliver content that supports silicon bring-up, firmware development, and system integration.
Your work will directly contribute to the success of silicon tape-outs, internal validation, and customer enablement!
Responsibilities:
- Develop and maintain documentation for SoC-level hardware and software components, including reference manuals, integration guides, configuration descriptions, register maps, and build instructions.
- Manage multiple documentation tracks across concurrent IP, subsystem, and solution releases.
- Collaborate with hardware design, verification, embedded software, and systems teams to extract and validate technical information.
- Define, improve, and implement documentation standards, review processes, content structure, terminology, and reuse models for scalable documentation sets.
- Use structured authoring tools and version control systems to create and maintain modular, source-driven documentation.
Required Skills and Experience:
- 4+ years of experience as a Technical Writer/Information Developer.
- Demonstrated ability to lead complex documentation across multiple projects and release cycles.

- Passion for learning about new technologies and standards, and adaptability to change.
- Strong collaboration, communication, and organizational skills in cross-functional engineering environments.
“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience:
- Experience documenting low-level software and/or hardware in a SoC or semiconductor environment, and/or non-UI software such as firmware, board support packages (BSP), boot flows, and system configuration.
- Understanding of hardware design principles, RTL/IP integration, chip-level validation, bring-up workflows, FPGA prototyping platforms, or embedded software development.
- A degree or postgraduate qualification in a related area. For example: Computer science, Physics, or Maths or English, Linguistics, or Law
In Return:
- Work alongside world-class engineers on ground breaking SoC platforms and integration flows.
- Enjoy competitive compensation, flexible working arrangements, and opportunities for career growth in a technically challenging environment.
