We are seeking a talented and motivated Embedded Systems Developer to join our team and contribute to the design, development, and testing of embedded software and hardware solutions. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in embedded systems programming, proficiency in C/C++, and experience with microcontroller/microprocessor architectures. As an Embedded Systems Developer, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver innovative embedded solutions that meet quality standards, performance requirements, and customer needs.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Embedded Software Development:
   • Design, develop, and debug embedded software for microcontroller/microprocessor-based systems using C/C++ programming languages.
   • Implement device drivers, communication protocols, and real-time operating systems (RTOS) to support system functionality and performance.
   • Optimize code size, memory usage, and power consumption to meet resource constraints and maximize efficiency.
2. Hardware Integration:
   • Work closely with hardware engineers to integrate software with embedded hardware platforms, including sensor interfaces, actuators, and communication peripherals.
   • Collaborate in the design and testing of embedded hardware components, such as PCBs, schematics, and prototypes.
3. System Architecture and Design:
   • Participate in the definition of system requirements, architecture, and design specifications for embedded projects.
   • Contribute to the selection of appropriate microcontrollers, sensors, communication modules, and other hardware components based on project requirements and constraints.
4. Testing and Debugging:
   • Develop and execute unit tests, integration tests, and system-level tests to verify the functionality, reliability, and performance of embedded systems.
   • Use debugging tools, emulators, and oscilloscopes to identify and resolve software/hardware issues and optimize system performance.
5. Documentation and Compliance:
   • Create and maintain comprehensive documentation of software design, requirements, specifications, and test plans.
   • Ensure compliance with industry standards, regulatory requirements, and best practices in embedded systems development.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 2+ years of experience in embedded systems development, firmware/software engineering, or related roles.
• Proficiency in C/C++ programming languages and embedded software development tools (compilers, debuggers, IDEs).
• Strong understanding of microcontroller/microprocessor architectures, peripherals, and communication protocols.
• Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS), embedded Linux, or bare-metal programming.
• Familiarity with hardware design principles, schematics, and PCB layout.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work independently or as part of a team.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with ARM Cortex-M/Cortex-A microcontrollers, Atmel AVR, PIC, or similar architectures.
• Knowledge of communication protocols such as UART, SPI, I2C, USB, Ethernet, and wireless (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi).
• Familiarity with software version control systems (Git/SVN) and issue tracking tools (JIRA, Bugzilla).
• Understanding of software development lifecycle (SDLC) and agile methodologies.
• Experience with scripting languages (Python, Bash) for automation and testing tasks.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
