Overview

Description: Position DescriptionThe Embedded Software Engineer will design, develop, test, and maintain embedded software for next-generation products. The ideal candidate will have strong C/C++ programming skills, experience developing embedded Linux software, and a solid understanding of hardware/software integration. This role will work closely with electrical, mechanical, systems, and test engineers to translate product requirements into reliable, production-ready embedded software. Essential Duties & Responsibilities Design, develop, debug, and maintain embedded software for microcontroller- and processor-based systems. Develop software primarily in C/C++, including low-level drivers, hardware interfaces, application code, and system services.Develop, configure, customize, and maintain embedded Linux systems and associated build tools. Integrate and configure real-time operating systems (RTOS), middleware, communication stacks, and third-party software components. Develop and maintain firmware for interfaces such as SPI, I C, UART, USB, Ethernet, and GPIO. Collaborate with hardware engineers to bring up new circuit boards and troubleshoot hardware/software integration issues. Analyze system requirements and translate them into robust software architectures and implementation plans. Perform unit testing, integration testing, debugging, and performance optimization. Use embedded debugging tools, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other laboratory equipment to diagnose system-level issues. Use Git for source-code management, branching, merging, and code collaboration. Use JIRA to track software development tasks, defects, requirements, and project progress. Use development tools like Visual Studio Code (VS Code) and others to implement and debug embedded software. Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and software development process improvements.Develop and maintain technical documentation, including software specifications, design documentation, and test procedures. Support product verification, validation, manufacturing, and field-deployment activities. Identify and resolve software defects and contribute to continuous improvement of product reliability and performance.PM21 Requirements: Required BS in Computer Engineering or Computer Science, or equivalent 3+ years in software and firmware engineering Exceptional Communication skills Strong proficiency in C and C++ programming.
