Embedded Software Engineer

Embedded Software Engineer – Job Description

Role Overview:

We are seeking a skilled Embedded Software Engineer to design, develop, and maintain low-level software for embedded systems. This role involves working closely with hardware, implementing bare-metal and/or RTOS-based solutions, and ensuring high performance, reliability, and deterministic behavior.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop low-level software for embedded systems using C/C++.
• Work closely with hardware teams to understand system architecture and requirements.
• Develop and integrate device drivers and peripheral interfaces.
• Implement software on bare-metal or RTOS-based platforms.
• Ensure real-time performance, reliability, and deterministic execution.
• Debug and optimize system performance, memory usage, and power consumption.
• Conduct unit testing and support system integration and validation.
• Troubleshoot issues across hardware-software boundaries.
• Maintain clear documentation for design, development, and testing.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Strong programming skills in C/C++.
• Solid understanding of microcontrollers and embedded architectures.
• Experience with bare-metal programming and/or RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, VxWorks).
• Knowledge of device drivers, interrupts, and peripheral interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C, etc.).
• Familiarity with real-time constraints and deterministic systems.
• Experience with debugging tools such as JTAG, oscilloscopes, or logic analyzers.
• Understanding of memory management and performance optimization.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with embedded Linux systems.
• Knowledge of communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, USB).
• Exposure to safety-critical or automotive systems is a plus.
• Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git).
