• Develop real-time, multithreaded applications running on RTOS and embedded Linux platforms.
• Implement application logic supporting vehicle control, actuators, sensors, and autonomous system functionality.
• Design robust, maintainable software using object-oriented design principles and software engineering best practices.
• Participate in requirements analysis, software architecture, design reviews, implementation, testing, and validation.
• Develop and maintain unit tests, integration tests, and automated build and validation processes.
• Debug and resolve complex software issues across embedded hardware and software systems.
• Collaborate with systems, electrical, mechanical, and test engineers to integrate and validate embedded software.
• Contribute to Agile development activities including sprint planning, backlog refinement, code reviews, and retrospectives.
• Support deployed products by improving software reliability, scalability, and long-term maintainability.
  

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 8+ years of embedded software development experience.
• Expert-level proficiency in C and modern C++ (C++14 or newer).
• Experience developing large-scale embedded applications for RTOS and/or embedded Linux environments.
• Strong understanding of multithreaded, multicore, and real-time software design.
• Experience with communication protocols such as CAN, Ethernet, TCP/IP, UDP, Modbus, SPI, or serial communications.
• Experience using Git, GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket within collaborative software development environments.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, static analysis, and code quality tools.
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum software development methodologies.
• Experience working within structured software development lifecycles, including requirements traceability, verification, and validation.
• Strong debugging, problem-solving, and software architecture skills.
  

• Experience developing software for robotics, autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, or other embedded electromechanical systems.
• Experience with embedded Linux and RTOS application development.
• Knowledge of functional safety standards and requirements-driven software development.
• Experience implementing multithreaded control applications, actuator controls, PID control loops, or motion control systems.
• Experience designing scalable embedded software supporting large deployed fleets of connected products.
• Familiarity with robotics middleware or distributed software architectures.
• Experience collaborating with mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering teams.
• Demonstrated passion for software engineering, continuous learning, and emerging embedded technologies.
• Exposure to AI technology is a big plus.
