About The Role

Embedded Software Engineer

Onsite in Foster City, CA | 5 days in office

The Autonomy Hardware Systems V&V team is seeking a contract Embedded Software Engineer to

develop embedded software and tooling for safety-critical automated test infrastructure. You'll be working

cross-functionally to develop sensor emulators and test frameworks.

Responsibilities

• Architect, implement, and maintain production-quality C++ applications for embedded Linux, with a
  
  

focus on low-latency, high-performance user- and kernel-space solutions

• Design Python-based automation frameworks and tooling to streamline test execution, integration, and
  
  

performance validation

• Build and expand hardware/software sensor emulators, and maintain and extend existing test assets
  
  

and validation frameworks

• Integrate embedded software with FPGA-based and ECU hardware over interfaces such as Ethernet,
  
  

I2C, SPI, and CAN

• Test and troubleshoot hardware and software issues, executing end-to-end verification strategies to
  
  

ensure product quality and reliability

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field, with 4+ years of
  
  

relevant industry experience

• Strong C++ development skills focused on low-latency, high-performance code in user (and ideally
  
  

kernel) space

• Extensive Linux development experience, including networking and system-level programming
• Proficiency with Python and test automation (e.g., Pytest), plus Git, build systems (e.g., Bazel), and unit
  
  

testing frameworks (e.g., GTest)

• Hands-on experience building hardware/software integration test frameworks using embedded
  
  

interfaces (Ethernet, I2C, SPI, CAN)

Bonus Qualifications

• Linux kernel development and device driver implementation, including embedded software for ARM
  
  

cores using Xilinx SDK and MPSoC platforms

• Experience with Yocto or Petalinux, and familiarity with FPGA development, System Verilog, and HDL
  
  

verification

• Experience with high-speed protocols (PCIe, MIPI CSI-2), Precision Time Protocol (PTP / IEEE 1588),
  
  

and Automotive Ethernet

• Ability to read and analyze electronic schematics, with knowledge of PCB design and manufacturing
  
  

workflows
