Role Overview
As a Mid-Level Embedded Engineer, you will work on developing and maintaining embedded software and firmware for 
microcontroller- and processor-based systems. You will collaborate closely with hardware, software, and test teams to deliver 
reliable, efficient, and scalable embedded solutions. This role requires hands-on technical expertise and the ability to work 
independently on well-defined components of larger systems.
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.
Required Qualifications
  • 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.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with RTOS, most preferably Zephyr.
  • Familiarity with embedded Linux or higher-level embedded OS environments.
  • Experience with communication protocols (CAN, USB, Ethernet, BLE, or TCP/IP).
  • Understanding of hardware schematics and datasheets.
  • Experience with automated testing or hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.
  • Exposure to secure boot, firmware updates (OTA), and embedded security practices.
  • End-to-end product lifecycle experience, from concept and architecture through development, validation, production, and field deployment
Soft Skills
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
  • Ability to work independently while contributing effectively to a team.
  • Willingness to learn new technologies and adapt to evolving project needs.
  • Good time management and ability to handle multiple tasks.
