We are looking for an Embedded Software Engineer with a minimum of 8 years of experience. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience developing embedded software for microcontroller-based systems, safety-critical applications, and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI). Expertise in real-time systems, handling large or legacy codebases, working with open-source software, and utilizing simulation environments for testing and validation is essential. Additionally, proficiency with Linux-based development environments is a must.
Qualifications:
- Minimum of 8 years of experience in embedded software engineering
- Hands-on expertise in C and C++ programming languages for embedded systems
- In-depth experience with microcontroller architectures (e.g., ARM, STM32, etc.) and low-level hardware interfacing
- Strong understanding of real-time operating systems (RTOS) and real-time software design
- Extensive experience with communication protocols (e.g., UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet)
- Strong understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP) principles and design patterns
- Proven experience with safety-critical software development and knowledge of relevant standards (e.g., ISO 26262, DO-178C)
- Expertise in handling large codebases, including working with legacy code and open-source software, ensuring smooth integration and refactoring
- Experience with simulation environments and tools for testing and validating embedded systems before hardware deployment
- Expertise in debugging, performance optimization, and software testing methodologies
- Strong understanding of software architecture, design patterns, and modular software development
- Proficiency with version control systems (e.g., Git) and software development tools (e.g., debuggers, oscilloscopes)
- Excellent communication skills, both technical and non-technical
- A degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (Master’s degree or equivalent is a plus)
- Must have experience with Linux-based development environments
Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, and optimize embedded software for microcontroller-based systems and safety-critical applications
- Work on the full software development lifecycle (SDLC), including requirements gathering, design, implementation, testing, and deployment
- Architect and implement complex embedded systems with a focus on performance, safety, and reliability
- Work with and contribute to large codebases, including open-source software or legacy code, ensuring maintainability and scalability
- Utilize simulation environments to model, test, and validate embedded software before deployment on hardware
- Perform system-level debugging, hardware/software integration, and troubleshooting
- Design and enforce best practices for embedded software development, including coding standards and software documentation
- Ensure software meets relevant safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262, DO-178C)
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define technical requirements and design solutions for embedded systems and HMI
- Develop and maintain clear and detailed documentation for software architecture, design, and implementation
