Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain embedded software/firmware for microcontrollers and embedded platforms.
- Implement and debug low-level drivers, board support packages (BSPs), and hardware interfaces.
- Work with hardware engineers to integrate and validate firmware on new and existing boards.
- Develop software for real-time and bare-metal systems.
- Debug system-level issues using tools such as debuggers, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes.
- Optimize embedded code for performance, memory usage, and power consumption.
- Write unit tests and support system-level testing and validation.
- Participate in code reviews to ensure quality, maintainability, and adherence to best practices.
- Maintain clear documentation for firmware design, interfaces, and development processes.
- Support product development from prototype through production and post-release maintenance.
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- 3–5 years of professional experience in embedded systems development.
- Demonstrated experience contributing to the design and deployment of at least one commercially released embedded product
- Strong proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems.
- Experience working with microcontrollers (e.g., nRF5x, STM32, NXP, Microchip, or similar).
- Solid understanding of embedded peripherals and interfaces (e.g., GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, PWM, ADC/DAC).
- Familiarity with real-time concepts, interrupts, timers, and memory management.
- Experience using embedded development tools (IDEs, compilers, linkers, JTAG/SWD debuggers).
- Proficiency with version control systems such as Git.
- Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
- Experience with RTOS, most preferably Zephyr.
- Familiarity with embedded Linux or higher-level embedded OS environments.
