Embedded Software Engineer (Platform & Firmware)

We are seeking an Embedded Software Engineer (Platform & Firmware) to design, develop, and test software that interfaces directly with hardware, such as microcontrollers and processors in embedded systems. This role focuses on foundational software development, including drivers, bootloaders, and firmware, using C, C++, and assembly to manage system resources and optimize device performance.

You will need a deep understanding of computer architecture, hardware-software integration, and low-level debugging. As a core member of our software engineering team, you will collaborate closely with embedded software and hardware engineers to deliver high-performance, reliable systems.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop Low-Level Software:
    Write and maintain firmware, bootloaders, and device drivers for embedded hardware platforms.
  • Optimize Performance:
    Ensure code efficiency and performance on resource-constrained systems (limited memory, CPU, power).
  • Hardware-Software Integration:
    Collaborate with hardware teams to validate and troubleshoot system-level issues.
  • Debug and Test:
    Use tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and in-circuit debuggers to identify and resolve issues at the hardware/software boundary.
  • System Resource Management:
    Implement low-level system features such as power management, memory allocation, and communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, etc.).
Required

Skills and Qualifications
  • Proficiency in C, C++, and assembly language for embedded development.
  • Strong understanding of microcontrollers, processors, and memory management.
  • Experience with device trees, real-time operating systems (RTOS), and device driver development.
  • Skilled in using low-level debugging tools: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, ICE, etc.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills to address complex hardware/software integration issues.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science.
Preferred Skills
  • Experience with Ether

    CAT technology
  • CAN ecosystem Software:
    Device Net or CANopen stacks
  • Embedded Linux Platform Software:
    Device tree, init/system services, userspace daemons, kernel
  • Diagnostic tooling:
    Python utilities for log parsing and packet/trace inspection
  • PLC familiarity: (software and hardware)
