We are seeking a Senior Firmware Engineer to join a growing engineering organization developing advanced embedded display systems within complex electromechanical products.

This is a highly hands-on role centered on Embedded Linux development across both low-level system components and user-facing display layers. The ideal candidate brings strong experience with Qt-based UI development, including QML, and understands how to integrate modern touchscreen interfaces directly with board-level firmware and drivers.

You will play a key role in board bring‑up, BSP development, boot loader integration, and driver implementation while also contributing to display framework architecture. This role requires comfort operating across the full embedded stack — from PCB-level interaction and system initialization to Qt/QML-driven interface layers.

In addition to deep technical contribution, you will mentor junior engineers, help shape firmware standards, and influence long‑term system architecture decisions within a collaborative product‑focused environment.

• Design and develop firmware for Embedded Linux-based platforms with touchscreen display interfaces
• Lead board bring‑up activities including BSP development and low‑level driver integration
• Develop and maintain boot loader functionality (e.g., U‑Boot) and system initialization components
• Collaborate with hardware engineers on PCB‑level integration and system validation
• Drive firmware architecture decisions across embedded Linux and RTOS-based subsystems
• Optimize firmware for performance, memory utilization, reliability, and power efficiency
• Conduct detailed code reviews and promote engineering best practices
• Mentor junior engineers in cross‑compiling tool chains and embedded Linux driver development
• Partner with cross‑functional teams (hardware, systems, UX, quality) to deliver high‑quality integrated products
• Support secure update mechanisms and system resiliency in production environments

• 6+ years of embedded firmware development experience
• Strong proficiency in C and C++
• Deep experience with Embedded Linux development (kernel-level and driver-level exposure)
• Experience with Board Support Packages (BSP) and hardware abstraction
• Hands‑on experience with bootloaders (U‑Boot or similar)
• Experience with cross‑compilation environments (Yocto or comparable build systems preferred)
• Experience with Qt and QML for embedded touchscreen interfaces
• Understanding of communication protocols such as CAN
• Knowledge of microcontroller and microprocessor architectures
• Familiarity with RTOS concepts and real‑time system constraints
• Ability to influence system-level technical decisions
• Strong collaboration and communication skills

• Experience with embedded database management (e.g., SQL-based systems)
• Exposure to firmware update frameworks (e.g., SWUpdate or similar)
• Experience with scripting (Python) for automation and test tooling
• Experience working within regulated or standards-driven engineering environments
• Experience mentoring engineers and leading technical initiatives
