Position Overview:

As a Senior Lead Engineer – Embedded Firmware, you will be a senior technical contributor within the Embedded Software Engineering team, responsible for the architecture, design, development, implementation, testing, and maintenance of firmware for microcontroller-based systems operating on bare-metal, RTOS, and embedded Linux platforms.

In this role, you will work closely with hardware, systems, product, quality, and global engineering teams to deliver robust, scalable, and high-performance embedded solutions. You will apply deep expertise in low-level programming, real-time systems, hardware bring-up, and system-level debugging, while mentoring junior engineers and contributing to best practices and technical strategy. This role supports innovation and product development initiatives for Marmon Foodservice Technologies through Marmon GIC.

Mandatory Skills:

• 6–10 years of experience in embedded firmware development, with strong exposure to real-time and low-level systems.
• Strong expertise in bare-metal programming and RTOS-based system design with strict timing and determinism requirements.
• Advanced proficiency in C and C++ (C++11 or newer) with object-oriented design and modular embedded architectures.
• Hands-on experience with ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers and SoCs from ST, NXP, Microchip, and Atmel platforms.
• Strong understanding of microcontroller architectures, memory models, interrupts, DMA, and real-time constraints .
• Experience developing and maintaining device drivers, BSPs, HAL layers, and low-level peripheral interfaces .
• Proficiency with debugging tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD, and protocol analyzers.
• Familiarity with Git-based version control systems and tools such as JIRA, GitHub, and GitLab .
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and system-level troubleshooting skills.
• Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within global, cross-functional teams.

Key Responsibilities / Functions:

• Lead the architectural design and implementation of embedded firmware solutions, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and performance.
• Design, develop, and maintain embedded software for bare-metal systems, RTOS-based platforms (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX), and embedded Linux environments .
• Develop and maintain device drivers, BSPs, HAL layers , and low-level interfaces for MCU peripherals.

• Integrate and support industrial communication protocols including SPI, I2C, UART, Modbus RTU, CAN, USB , and wireless stacks such as Wi-Fi and BLE , as applicable.
• Design and implement serial communication interfaces using RS-232 and RS-485 , including Master/Slave topologies.
• Implement deterministic real-time behavior , task scheduling, interrupt-driven architectures, and power-efficient designs.
• Optimize memory usage, execution timing, and power consumption for resource-constrained embedded platforms.
• Perform hardware bring-up , collaborate on schematic reviews, and support system-level validation with hardware engineering teams.
• Debug and resolve complex hardware–software interaction issues using professional debugging and analysis tools.
• Update and enhance firmware to improve performance, stability, reliability, and feature sets.
• Conduct code reviews , ensuring adherence to coding standards, best practices, and high-quality software design.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation , including software architecture, design specifications, requirements, and user documentation.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams throughout the development lifecycle, from concept to production release.
• Mentor junior engineers, share technical knowledge, and promote a culture of continuous learning and engineering excellence .
• Stay current with emerging technologies, tools, and best practices in embedded software development.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, Computer Science, or related Engineering discipline.
• Master’s degree is an added advantage.
• 6–10 years of professional experience in embedded firmware development.
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives and mentor junior engineers.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
