Embedded Systems Engineer

POSITION SUMMARY

The Embedded Systems Engineer contributes to the development, integration, and support of software for embedded platforms used in Amphenol Network Solutions’ connectivity products. This role works across low‑level firmware, embedded Linux components, and system interfaces to ensure reliable operation and seamless communication between hardware and higher‑level applications. The engineer collaborates closely with cross‑functional teams on new product development, assists with hardware bring‑up and debugging activities, and helps maintain consistent software quality as technologies and product requirements evolve.

The duties of the Embedded Systems Engineer include developing, integrating, and supporting software for embedded platforms used in connectivity products. Responsibilities span low‑level firmware, embedded Linux components, and system interfaces to ensure reliable hardware and application communication. The engineer collaborates with cross‑functional teams for new product development, contributes to hardware bring‑up and debugging, and helps maintain software quality as technology evolves.

• Experience working with embedded Linux systems, including board support package development and driver development.
• Working knowledge of low-level programming in C; exposure to Rust is a plus
• Familiarity with common embedded communication protocols, including Ethernet, USB, I2C, and SPI
• Exposure to microcontroller firmware development tools, including Eclipse-based IDEs
• Basic understanding of Linux concepts such as device trees, drivers, and user-space vs. kernel-space responsibilities
• Experience or interest in containerized environments on embedded platforms (e.g., Docker)
• Ability to interface low-level embedded code with higher-level application layers, including C#-based services
• Foundational debugging and troubleshooting skills using standard embedded tools (e.g., JTAG/SWD, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes)
• Ability to write readable, maintainable code and follow established coding standards

• 3+ years of experience in embedded systems development, or equivalent hands-on experience through internships, academic projects, or personal work
• Experience developing software for embedded or hardware-adjacent systems in a Linux environment
• Working knowledge of low-level programming concepts, including memory management and basic concurrency
• Experience integrating and debugging hardware peripherals over I²C, SPI, RS-485, and Ethernet
• Ability to support hardware bring-up and assist with debugging early-stage designs under guidance from senior engineers
• Comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams, including software, electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineering
• Willingness to learn new tools, technologies, and hardware platforms as products evolve
• Familiarity with modern development workflows such as version control and issue tracking (i.e., Git)

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• Prior exposure to embedded Linux distributions such as Torizon or Yocto-based systems
• Experience with Docker or containerized deployment in embedded or resource-constrained environments
• Experience integrating embedded systems with higher-level applications or services written in C# or similar languages

Strong verbal and written communication skills are essential for effectively collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, including software, electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers. The ability to clearly convey technical information, actively participate in team discussions, and document work processes is required. This role also demands the capacity to interact professionally with colleagues, management, and external partners, adapting communication style as needed for diverse audiences.

In the context of Amphenol Network Solutions’ environment, these skills support cross-functional teamwork, continuous learning, and successful project outcomes by fostering open dialogue, mutual respect, and the sharing of ideas.
