About the role
We are seeking a Embedded Software Engineer to join a global engineering and software development organization. In this role, you will be part of a high-performing team responsible for designing, developing, and testing firmware for embedded systems used in industrial and automation applications. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams worldwide and play a key role in new product development, hardware integration, and firmware optimization.
Key Responsibilities
Design, develop, and maintain firmware for microcontrollers (MCUs).
Develop low-level hardware drivers for peripherals such as UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO, DMA, and interrupts.
Create and implement test applications to validate hardware functionality and support manufacturing testing.
Collaborate with hardware engineers during board bring-up, component validation, and system integration.
Conduct code reviews, debugging, and performance tuning to ensure high-quality deliverables.
Contribute to continuous improvement by suggesting design, process, and cost-efficiency enhancements.
Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers.
Stay updated on emerging technologies and best practices in embedded firmware development.
Qualifications
Bachelors Degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
At least 5 years of experience in firmware or embedded systems development.
Proficiency in C/C++ programming for low-level embedded applications.
Solid understanding of embedded systems architecture and communication protocols (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN).
Hands-on experience with board bring-up, debugging hardware/software integration, and performance optimization.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with ARM microprocessors and RTOS environments.
Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git), build systems, and CI/CD pipelines.
Exposure to Agile/Scrum development methodologies.
Knowledge of FPGA/CPLD programming (Verilog or VHDL) is an advantage.
Understanding of cybersecurity principles and software testing automation frameworks.
Experience with Process Control Systems or Distributed Control Systems is a plus.
Why Join
Youll be part of a global engineering team that values innovation, collaboration, and professional growth.
