C++ Embedded Engineer

Embedded Application Engineer Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain application software for Embedded Linux platforms—building solutions that power mission‑critical systems.
• Write clean, efficient, and maintainable code using Go, Rust, or C++, with a focus on performance, reliability, and security.
• Collaborate closely with cross‑functional engineering teams (hardware, systems, QA) to define architecture and bring new features to life—turning bold ideas into production‑ready software.
• Debug, optimize, and enhance software performance and reliability, ensuring seamless operation across diverse embedded environments.
• Participate actively in code reviews and help evolve engineering standards and best practices across the team.
• Communicate technical concepts clearly and confidently to engineers, product leaders, and stakeholders—bridging gaps between design and deployment.

• 4+ years (Engineer) or 7–8 years (Senior Engineer) of hands‑on embedded software development experience.
• Strong programming skills in Go, Rust, or C++—with a passion for writing elegant, maintainable code.
• Candidates with a primary background in C must also have solid C++ experience.
• Proven experience working with Embedded Linux in application‑layer contexts.
• Experience designing and implementing application‑layer software for resource‑constrained embedded systems.
• Strong problem‑solving, debugging, and systems‑thinking abilities.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills—essential for collaboration and knowledge sharing.

• Experience with Yocto or other embedded Linux build systems (e.g., Buildroot, Open Wrt).
• Experience architecting or contributing to complex embedded software systems at scale.
• Prior experience at high‑performing engineering organizations such as Google, Apple, Meta, Rivian, or similar—where engineering excellence meets product impact.
• Domain knowledge in energy or aerospace industries—especially relevant for roles focused on sustainability or mission‑critical applications.

• This role focuses on application‑layer software. Candidates whose experience is primarily in kernel, OS, or driver development may not be the best fit.
