We are looking for an experienced Embedded Systems Architect / Principal Firmware Engineer to lead the design, development, and optimization of next-generation embedded and IoT solutions. This role requires a highly skilled engineer with deep expertise in embedded firmware, Linux-based systems, system architecture, and edge computing.

The ideal candidate will drive technical decisions, define scalable architectures, and work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver secure, high-performance products from concept to deployment.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and design end-to-end embedded systems and firmware solutions.
• Develop and maintain production-grade firmware using Embedded C and Modern C++ (C++17/20).
• Design and optimize Linux-based embedded platforms and RTOS applications.
• Develop low-level software including device drivers and hardware abstraction layers.
• Work with communication protocols and interfaces including SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, BLE, Wi-Fi, MQTT, HTTP, and TCP/IP.
• Lead system-level design reviews and technical decision-making.
• Drive edge computing and distributed intelligence initiatives.
• Implement secure OTA update mechanisms and device lifecycle management strategies.
• Optimize system performance, memory utilization, power consumption, and reliability.
• Establish engineering best practices including code reviews, testing frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaborate with hardware, cloud, product, and QA teams to ensure successful product delivery.
• Mentor and guide engineering teams on architecture and firmware development practices.
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics, Embedded Systems, Computer Science, or related field.
• 5–6+ years of experience in embedded systems and firmware development.
• Expert-level proficiency in Embedded C and Modern C++.
• Strong experience with Linux-based embedded systems (e.g., Yocto, Buildroot).
• Hands-on experience with RTOS environments (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr, RTX).
• Deep understanding of device drivers and hardware interfaces.
• Strong knowledge of networking protocols and IoT communication stacks.
• Proven experience designing scalable embedded system architectures.
• Experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI), and automated testing frameworks.
• Strong debugging, problem-solving, and system optimization skills.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Yocto, Buildroot, or custom Linux distributions.
• Exposure to AWS IoT, Azure IoT, or similar cloud platforms.
• Experience with Docker and containerized edge deployments.
• Knowledge of embedded cybersecurity, secure boot, encryption, and authentication.
• Exposure to AI/ML workloads at the edge (e.g., TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers).
