Job Requirements
Senior Firmware Engineer Embedded Microcontroller Development
Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced
Senior Firmware Engineer to lead the design and development of embedded firmware for microcontroller-based systems. The role focuses on architecting reliable, scalable, and highperformance firmware for platforms such as
STM32,
TI C2000, and TI multicore MCUs. The candidate should have strong embedded C/C++ expertise, RTOS experience, and handson hardwaresoftware integration skills.
Experience with
MQTT protocols, IoT frameworks, or connected device architectures is a strong plus.
Key Responsibilities
Firmware Architecture & Development
- Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware for ARM CortexM and TI MCU platforms.
- Develop and optimize peripheral drivers, middleware, communication stacks, and board support packages (BSP).
- Implement modules involving ADC/DAC, PWM, DMA, timers, watchdogs, interrupts, and lowpower modes.
- Architect RTOSbased systems using FreeRTOS or similar operating systems.
HardwareSoftware Integration
- Collaborate with hardware teams for board bring-up, schematic validation, and design reviews.
- Debug hardware/firmware integration issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG/SWD.
- Validate and tune interfaces such as:
- SPI, IC, UART, CAN, LIN
- Modbus/RS485, Ethernet, Profinet
- USB or proprietary protocols
System Optimization & Reliability
- Optimize realtime performance, memory usage, and power consumption.
- Implement robust error-handling, diagnostics, and state-machine-driven architectures.
- Perform code reviews, static analysis, unit testing, and regression testing.
Documentation & Quality
- Prepare architectural documents, design specifications, interface definitions, and API documentation.
- Ensure firmware quality through coding standards (MISRAC or equivalent).
- Support validation engineers and ATE teams with firmware-level hooks and testability features.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with system, hardware, ATE, and validation teams.
- Provide mentorship and technical leadership to junior firmware engineers.
- Participate in system-level architecture decisions including communication frameworks, bootloaders, and security features.
Work Experience
Technical Skills
- Bachelor's/Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical, Computer, or Embedded Systems Engineering.
- 7+ years of proven experience in embedded firmware development.
- Hands-on experience with:
- STM32 (ARM CortexM series)
- TI C2000 / TI multicore DSP/MCU platforms (preferred)
- Strong expertise in:
- Embedded C/C++
- RTOS (FreeRTOS, TIRTOS, ThreadX, etc.)
- Interrupt-driven programming and real-time firmware
- Familiarity with:
- JTAG/SWD tools, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers
- Memory interfaces: Flash, EEPROM, FRAM
- Common industrial protocols
Good To Have (Preferred)
- Experience with MQTT protocol for messaging or telemetry.
- Exposure to IoT architectures, device connectivity, or cloudconnected embedded systems.
- Experience building connected dashboards or interacting with IoT gateways.
- Background in ATE/HIL environments or automation frameworks.
- Knowledge of security best practices, OTA updates, and remote diagnostics.
- Experience with Git, CI/CD for firmware, static analysis tools, or DevOps for embedded.
Soft Skills
- Strong analytical and debugging capabilities.
- Good communication and clear technical documentation skills.
- Ability to take ownership of firmware development and mentor junior engineers.
- Comfortable working in fast-paced environments with evolving requirements.
