Embedded C/C+ Engineer

We're looking for an experienced Embedded C/C+ software engineer for a short-term consulting engagement. This is a research and advisory role — not a development position. We want to learn from someone who has lived embedded development day-to-day: the tooling, the workflows, the frustrations, and the trade-offs.

Your job is to help us understand how embedded teams really work, where current tools fall short, and where the most meaningful opportunities for improvement lie.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of hands-on embedded C/C++ development experience
• Background in a larger company or as a supplier to one (automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, medical, or similar)
• Strong software focus: firmware development, debugging, testing, build tooling, and workflows
• Experience with RTOS usage, low-level hardware interaction, and peripheral-heavy development
• Familiarity with real-world compliance, requirements management, or certified tooling environments
• Ability to reflect critically on tooling and processes — not just describe them, but explain why things are the way they are

What You'll Do

• Share practical, candid insight into your day-to-day embedded development workflows
• Walk us through tooling choices: how they're made, adopted, and evolved in your organization
• Discuss debugging workflows, build systems, IDE fragmentation, and productivity blockers
• Explain constraints you work within — compliance requirements, certified toolchains, RTOS environments
• Help us understand the "why" behind the status quo, not just the "what"
• Participate in structured interviews or workshops (remote, flexible scheduling)

Nice to Have

• Experience with AI-assisted development, remote development setups, or non-standard toolchains
• Exposure to tooling evaluation or adoption decisions at team or organization level
• History working across multiple embedded projects or clients
