Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Summary

MathWorks has a hybrid work model that enables staff members to split their time between office and home. The hybrid model provides the advantage of having both in-person time with colleagues and flexible at-home life optimizations.

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Embedded Targets team, you will advance Model‑Based Design and production code generation for real‑time embedded systems, enabling deployment of motor control, power conversion, multicore, and audio/video algorithms onto microcontrollers and DSPs across ARM Cortex‑M/R/A, TI C2000, Infineon, Renesas, and similar architectures. You will develop tools that convert MATLAB and Simulink models into optimized, hardware‑efficient code that meets strict timing and memory constraints, leveraging fixed‑point techniques, SIMD, and hardware accelerators while working closely with embedded toolchains and real‑time execution behavior to shape next‑generation embedded development workflows.

MathWorks nurtures growth, appreciates inclusivity, encourages initiative, values teamwork, shares success, and rewards excellence.

Responsibilities

• You will design and enhance Model‑Based Design code generation capabilities targeting embedded processors and real‑time execution environments.
• As part of a fast‑moving team, you will drive features from concept through implementation, validation, and release.
• You will collaborate with technical leaders across the company to advance embedded code generation technologies and workflows.
• Your responsibilities include software architecture design, implementation of production‑quality code, creation of robust testing strategies, and end‑to‑end ownership of project deliverables.
• You will also work closely with embedded toolchains, processor‑specific code optimizations, hardware‑constrained execution behavior, and integration flows for MCUs, DSPs, and RTOS/bare‑metal targets.
  
  

Minimum Qualifications

• A bachelor's degree and 6 years of professional work experience (or a master's degree and 3 years of professional work experience, or a PhD degree, or equivalent experience) is required.
