Senior / Lead Embedded Software Engineer

🔹 Senior / Lead Embedded Software Engineer (C++ / Qt)

📍 Hybrid | Embedded Linux | Scrum Team

Project Description

Join a global leader in network test, measurement, and assurance solutions for communications networks.

You’ll be part of a Scrum team working on production‑grade embedded hardware , delivering complex features end‑to‑end — from architecture to deployment.

📌 OTDR domain knowledge is not required at hire.

Structured onboarding and training on optical fiber and OTDR concepts are provided.

How we work

• Scrum (Sprint Planning, Daily, Review, Retrospective)
• Jira for tracking, Confluence for documentation
• Jenkins CI/CD, SonarQube for code quality
• Test automation is a team responsibility
• Claude Code (Anthropic) is used as a standard AI development tool

Your Role

You’ll act as a technical leader on the OTDR development team, owning epics end‑to‑end and setting the technical quality bar.

Responsibilities

• Lead design and implementation of major epics across the full stack:
• hardware drivers
• measurement controllers
• broker / publisher systems
• configuration middleware (DBus / Python)
• QML / Qt Quick UI
• Define and uphold architecture patterns, coding standards, and testing strategy
• Lead code reviews and ensure quality before merging
• Drive unit testing (Google Test) and functional testing (Python / pytest)
• Build, deploy, debug, and validate features on embedded hardware
• Collaborate with platform and driver teams on integration issues
• Contribute to and improve Jenkins pipelines and SonarQube quality gates
• Actively participate in Scrum ceremonies and backlog refinement
• Mentor junior and mid‑level engineers
• Maintain technical documentation in Confluence

Mandatory Skills

• 7+ years of professional C++ development (C++17: RAII, move semantics, STL, templates)
• Strong Qt5 experience (QtCore, Qt Remote Objects, Qt Quick / QML, CMake)
• Embedded Linux development (cross‑compilation, sysroot, gdb/gdbserver)
• Distributed architecture patterns (Pub/Sub, MVVM, IPC‑based client/server)
• Experience with DBus or similar IPC mechanisms
• Leadership in code reviews and technical mentoring
• Automated testing: Google Test (C++) , Python / pytest
• CI/CD experience (Jenkins or similar)
• Strong English communication skills
• Hands‑on experience with — and interest in — AI development tools

Nice to Have

• Yocto build system
• Docker‑based build and test environments
• SonarQube or Coverity
• Qt Remote Objects architecture
• Optical networking / OTDR / test & measurement background
• Experience delivering to external customers in quality‑critical embedded domains
