Job Description

Job Description:

We are seeking a highly experienced Principal Embedded Software Developer (VSE) with strong expertise in embedded systems development across both hardware and software domains. The ideal candidate will possess deep technical knowledge, hands-on programming skills, and the ability to lead design, development, and integration activities for complex embedded platforms.

This role involves working with real-time operating systems (RTOS), embedded Linux, board support packages (BSP), firmware development, and low-level hardware interfacing. The candidate should also have strong debugging skills and the ability to guide junior engineers while collaborating cross-functionally with hardware, QA, and system architecture teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design, development, and optimization of embedded software for complex hardware platforms.
• Architect and implement firmware components using C/C++, ensuring high performance, reliability, and stability.
• Develop, customize, and integrate Embedded Linux systems, including BSP layers using Yocto, Buildroot, or similar build systems.
• Work with RTOS environments for real-time applications.
• Integrate and validate hardware interfaces and communication protocols such as I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, Ethernet, etc.
• Collaborate closely with hardware engineers to review schematics, debug board-level issues, and validate system behavior.
• Develop and maintain device drivers, bootloaders, and low-level kernel modules.
• Perform system profiling, debugging, and performance tuning using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other diagnostic tools.
• Write clear technical documentation, design specifications, and test procedures.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to best practices in coding, architecture, and design reviews.
  
  

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 10+ years of professional experience in embedded software development.
• Strong proficiency in C and C++ programming for embedded systems.
• Demonstrated experience with RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, VxWorks, QNX, ThreadX).
• Hands-on experience developing embedded Linux systems, BSP customization, kernel configuration, and system integration.
• Practical experience with Yocto Project, Buildroot, or similar embedded Linux build frameworks.
• Strong understanding of low-level hardware interfaces and communication protocols:
• I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, USB, Ethernet
• Experience with debugging tools (GDB, JTAG, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers).
• Solid understanding of microcontrollers, SoCs, ARM architecture, memory layout, and boot processes.
• Comfortable working with Linux command line, shell scripting, and version control systems (Git).
• Excellent problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and strong analytical thinking.
• Ability to work independently and lead technical efforts within a cross-functional team.
