Senior Software Engineer - Embedded

Role Description:

As a Senior Software Engineer specializing in Embedded Systems, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining software solutions for embedded platforms. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality, scalable, and efficient embedded software solutions. Your role will involve working on firmware, device drivers, real-time operating systems (RTOS), and low-level software components.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement embedded software solutions for various hardware platforms, ensuring functionality, performance, and reliability.
• Develop and maintain device drivers, bootloader software, and firmware for embedded systems.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to define system architecture and hardware/software interfaces.
• Optimize embedded software for resource-constrained environments, including memory footprint and power consumption.
• Conduct code reviews, debugging, and performance analysis to ensure software quality and maintainability.
• Participate in the entire software development lifecycle, from requirements analysis to deployment and support.
• Stay updated with emerging technologies and industry trends in embedded systems and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.
  

Technical Skills (Must Have):

• Proficiency in C/C++ programming languages for embedded systems development.
• Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) such as FreeRTOS, RTLinux, or VxWorks.
• Strong understanding of embedded hardware platforms, microcontrollers, and microprocessors (e.g., ARM Cortex-M, AVR, PIC).
• Knowledge of communication protocols like UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet, and wireless technologies (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee).
• Familiarity with embedded development tools such as IDEs (e.g., Eclipse, Keil, IAR Embedded Workbench), debuggers, and JTAG/SWD interfaces.
• Expertise in embedded software debugging techniques and tools (e.g., GDB, JTAG debuggers).
• Experience with version control systems like Git for collaborative software development.
  

Technical Skills (Nice To Have):

• Familiarity with safety-critical software development standards
• Knowledge of software security principles and practices for embedded systems.
• Understanding of agile software development methodologies (e.g., Scrum, Kanban).
• Exposure to continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines for embedded software.
  

Qualification:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• Experience: 3 to 6 Years
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to articulate technical concepts to diverse stakeholders.
• Proven track record of delivering embedded software projects on schedule and within budget constraints.
