Noureddine Said is a Staff Embedded Software Engineer at SiFive with nine years of experience building bare-metal system software for RISC-V cores and SoCs. He combines a strong hardware/software co-design background with academic rigor from a PhD in Nanoelectronics, where he researched approximate and variable floating-point precision for CPU architectures. At Grenoble he developed one of France’s first practical RISC-V HW/SW training programs for engineering students, translating research platforms into hands-on curricula. Comfortable across toolchains from GCC and Spike to Verilator, he focuses on low-level firmware, multi-core bootstrapping, and driver integration for open-source CPU IP. Based in France, he blends production engineering at SiFive with teaching and published research, making him equally effective at shipping silicon-facing software and mentoring the next generation of embedded engineers.
