About the role
Everpure (NYSE: P) has evolved from storage pioneer to data platform, closing fiscal 2026 with $3.7 billion in revenue, its first billion-dollar quarter, and accelerating growth into FY27. Our strategic agenda spans the companies defining the next era of technology - hyperscalers, AI labs, the AI hardware supply chain, data platform providers, and the broader AI ecosystem.
This type of work—work that changes the world—is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us.
The Role
You will join Everpure’s Datastore team to design, develop, and validate embedded firmware for our DirectFlash™ modules. In this role, you will work across firmware and hardware boundaries to build reliable, high-performance storage solutions, while also developing virtual platforms and tooling that accelerate development, debugging, and validation. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering teams to solve complex system-level problems and help deliver innovative products to market. Comment end
What You Will Be Doing
Everpure is seeking a full-time Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer to join our device firmware team. You will be responsible for developing high-fidelity virtual platforms that abstract complex hardware behaviors to accelerate SSD firmware development. In this role, you will be responsible for:
- Developing and maintaining comprehensive firmware simulation environments (e.g., QEMU) to enable shift-left testing, reducing dependency on physical hardware and accelerating time-to-market.
- Creating accurate, high-fidelity hardware models to abstract controller logic, communication interfaces (PCIe, NVMe), and NAND media behaviors within Pure Storage’s DirectFlash™ SSD Modules.
- Designing and implementing instrumentation tools to profile performance and analyze failures within the simulated environment.
- Automating CI/CD pipelines to seamlessly integrate simulation and virtual platforms into our firmware release and validation processes.
- Partnering closely with ASIC vendors to validate firmware behaviors against RTL and digital logic designs before physical silicon is available.
What You Bring to the Team
- 5+ years of experience building and scaling complex embedded, firmware, or hardware-software systems.
- Expert-level proficiency in C/C++ (object oriented design and C++ 11 and onwards) and strong Python skills for both firmware and modeling development.
- Deep understanding of firmware-hardware interaction, including the ability to translate complex schematics and data sheets into abstract software models.
- Solid Linux (kernel, bootloaders) understanding and ability to root‑cause across HW/FW boundaries.
- Strong knowledge of high-performance storage protocols such as PCIe and NVMe.
- Experience with embedded software development, RTOS and SoC and hardware bring-up.
