Our client, a leader in embedded computing and processor-based technology solutions, is seeking a Senior Application Engineer to support advanced embedded processor platforms and their customers.

This is a highly technical, hands-on role combining embedded Linux engineering, hardware/software debugging, and customer-facing technical support
. You'll work across Linux, Android, and FreeRTOS environments, troubleshoot complex field issues, support board-level design and verification, and help customers successfully integrate embedded processor technologies into their products.

The ideal candidate is equally comfortable at a Linux command line, reviewing a schematic, debugging hardware with an oscilloscope or JTAG, and working directly with customers to resolve complex technical problems.

• Design, develop, test, and support embedded processor platforms and peripheral interfaces.
• Build, modify, and support BSP images and drivers for Linux, Android, FreeRTOS
  , and related embedded environments.
• Troubleshoot complex customer hardware and software issues and provide clear technical guidance through resolution.
• Perform hands-on hardware debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG
  , and other engineering tools.
• Review system-level schematics, component specifications, test results, and technical requirements.
• Support design verification activities and ensure solutions meet product and system requirements.
• Work with embedded interfaces and connectivity technologies including USB, HDMI, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, CAN, SPI, and UART
  .
• Collaborate directly with customers, distribution partners, and internal engineering teams.
• Develop and maintain customer-facing technical documentation, support records, and engineering resources.
• Deliver technical training to customers and partners as needed.
• Serve as a technical resource, coach, and mentor to other members of the engineering organization.

• Deep technical ownership: Work across embedded hardware, operating systems, BSPs, drivers, and processor platforms rather than being limited to one layer of the stack.
• Hands-on engineering: Spend your time solving real hardware and software problems, including board-level debugging and system integration.
• High customer impact: Directly influence customer success by solving challenging technical issues and helping customers bring embedded designs to life.
• Technical leadership: Serve as a senior engineering resource and mentor while remaining hands-on with the technology.
• Broad embedded technology exposure: Work with ARM-based processors, Linux, Android, FreeRTOS, and a wide range of peripheral interfaces.
• Relocation support: Relocation assistance is available for candidates moving to the Eden Prairie, Minnesota area.

• Bachelor's degree with 10+ years of relevant applications engineering experience, or Master's degree with 8+ years of relevant experience.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science
  , or another related engineering discipline.
• Advanced Linux experience within embedded systems
  .
• Strong experience with ARM-based embedded processors
  .
• Hands-on experience working with Linux, Android, and FreeRTOS
  .
• Strong understanding of the interaction between embedded hardware and software
  .
• Hands-on hardware troubleshooting experience using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG
  , and similar debugging tools.
• Strong customer-facing technical support, applications engineering, or troubleshooting experience.
• Experience with embedded interfaces such as USB, HDMI, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, CAN, SPI, and UART
  .
• Ability to manage multiple technical projects and shifting priorities in a fast-paced engineering environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, particularly when explaining complex technical issues to customers and engineering stakeholders.
