Embedded Software Engineer

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.
