Kandou AI

Pune District, Maharashtra, India

Title: Staff Engineer – Embedded SoC Firmware – DDR Memory controller

Location: Pune

About Company:

We are redeﬁning the economics of AI infrastructure. Our mission is to democratise AI by signiﬁcantly reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of hardware systems — a critical barrier to scalable adoption.

Our proprietary MIMO-over-copper technology powers a high-performance, chiplet-based AI memory fabric that is both scalable and energy-efficient. Unlike traditional interconnects, our solution reduces power consumption signiﬁcantly while preserving high bandwidth and ultra-low latency — unlocking unprecedented efficiency for AI training and inference at scale.

Our architecture is not just an incremental improvement — it’s a foundational shift in how AI hardware is built for the future.

JOB DESCRIPTION:

The responsibility of this role is to develop firmware modules and services for Kandou’s Memory fabrics products with DDR interfaces

Firmware is responsible for implementing and supporting the major differentiating features of Kandou’ products.

Basic qualification

Strong academic and technical background in Electronics & Computer engineering. At a minimum, a Bachelor’s in EE or Computer Science is required, and a Master’s is preferred.
Experience developing firmware (Bare metal/RTOS) for DRAM/DDR controllers
Minimum 8-15 years’ experience developing firmware for Server, Memory controllers and DDR PHY programmingRequired experience
Hands-on experience designing and developing embedded firmware for DDR memory controller/PCIe/NVME protocols with proficiency in C (preferred) or C++, including development of C-based SDKs.
Experience with Bare-metal and RTOS/Zephyr OS firmware development and enablement
Familiar with SoC interfaces to common IP blocks such as PCIe Controllers, NVME Controllers, DDR controllers, AMBA/AHB interfaces, on-chip memory interfaces, and other similar interfaces
Work with various cross-functional groups such as architect, other development teams, QA/validation, product management and customer teams across various sitesPreferred experience
Experience with storage or SSD firmware, including NVMe, PCIe, CXL or flash management concepts.
