Job Purpose

We are seeking a Senior Embedded Linux C++ Engineer responsible for developing and stabilizing system-level C++ software on Linux-based embedded platforms.

This is a hands-on development role focused on implementing, integrating, and debugging performance-sensitive C++ components operating close to hardware and Linux OS services. This role requires strong expertise in modern C++, multithreading, and practical system-level troubleshooting within production embedded environments.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and enhance system-level C++ modules on Embedded Linux platforms.
Implement multithreaded components with proper synchronization and resource management.
Integrate software with hardware interfaces and support board-level validation.
Diagnose and resolve runtime issues such as memory leaks, race conditions, deadlocks, and performance bottlenecks.
Troubleshoot cross-layer issues involving C++ logic, Linux OS behavior, and hardware interaction.
Support software flashing and deployment on embedded targets.
Contribute to embedded Linux build configuration and maintenance.
Write unit tests for C++ modules and support automated build workflows.
Participate in code reviews and follow established engineering practices.

Required Technical Skills

10+ years of embedded software development experience.
Minimum 5+ years of hands-on C++ development in Embedded Linux environments.
Strong hands-on expertise in Modern C++ (C++11 or later), including:

Multithreading using standard concurrency mechanisms
Synchronization primitives (mutex, atomic operations)
Memory management (RAII, smart pointers)
Performance-aware design

Proven experience developing multithreaded Linux-based C++ applications.
Practical experience implementing and debugging Linux IPC mechanisms (sockets, shared memory, pipes, message queues).
Strong debugging skills using GDB, strace, perf, and kernel log analysis.
Experience working with Yocto/OpenEmbedded build systems, including image configuration.
Experience interfacing with hardware communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, USB, or Ethernet.
Hands-on experience working with physical embedded hardware platforms, including:

Software flashing and image deployment
Serial console debugging
Use of JTAG or equivalent debugging interfaces
Basic familiarity with lab tools such as logic analyzers or oscilloscopes for issue analysis

Experience writing unit tests for C++ modules, preferably using Google Test (gtest) or similar frameworks.
Hands-on experience using Git for collaborative development (branching, merging, code reviews).
Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and automated build systems, ideally Azure DevOps
Working knowledge of Linux shell scripting; familiarity with Python for automation or tool support.
Working knowledge of C for low-level interaction where required.
Demonstrated experience resolving stability and performance issues in production of embedded systems.
Experience with functional safety in embedded software (e.g. automotive, medical, aerospace)
Good verbal and written English communication skills.

Preferred / Good-to-Have Skills

Experience in multimedia, video processing, or performance-intensive embedded systems.
Experience in heterogeneous architectures (e.g. ARM/FPGA)
Familiarity with RTOS environments in addition to Linux.
Experience working in globally distributed development teams.
Awareness of secure coding practices in embedded systems.
Experience in working with international development teams

Non-Technical Requirements.

Strong ownership mindset and accountability for assigned modules.
Structured and analytical troubleshooting approach.
Effective collaboration across firmware, hardware, and cross-functional teams.
High level of engineering discipline and attention to detail.
Professional communication skills.
