Job Description

Summary

We are looking for a Senior Embedded Engineer with 3–5 years of experience to design and develop embedded software/firmware for IOT & Robotic solutions. You will work on real-world hardware, solve complex problems, and ensure high-quality, timely delivery of projects — while also contributing to integrating AI/ML capabilities into embedded systems for intelligent, data-driven functionality at the edge.

Position Overview

We are looking for an engineer to develop and optimize firmware for embedded platforms, working closely with hardware and cross-functional teams. The role involves end-to-end development, performance tuning, and enabling intelligent features on edge devices with a focus on deficiency and reliability. You will also contribute to solving complex system-level challenges and building scalable, high-quality solutions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design & Develop: Build embedded firmware and software using Embedded C, C++, and Python.
  • Driver Development: Design, develop, and test peripheral drivers for Linux/RTOS at the Kernel and User levels.
  • Hardware Interfacing: Work on microcontrollers, peripherals, and hardware interfaces. Develop and integrate communication interfaces like UART, SPI, I2C, USB, PCIe, and Ethernet.
  • Debugging: Troubleshoot embedded systems using tools like debuggers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
  • Testing & Automation: Develop functional and unit tests, validate firmware functionality, and automate testing processes.
  • Optimization: Analyze system performance and optimize code for memory and real-time constraints.
  • Lifecycle Management: Participate in the full development lifecycle: design, coding, testing, and debugging
  • Collaboration: Work with hardware and other software teams to solve system level issues.
  • Prototyping: Create prototypes to validate design concepts.
  • Edge AI: Collaborate on integrating AI/ML models into the embedded development lifecycle or edge devices.

Qualifications
