Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Design, prototype, build, and test production vehicle firmware for safety-critical systems.
• Develop and optimize applications in RTOS environments, tuning for reliability, latency, throughput, memory footprint, and power on resource-constrained platforms.
• Own and evolve the communication architecture between MCUs, sensors, and main compute, across both standard and custom protocols (SPI, UART, I2C, CAN, TCP/UDP, and more).
• Lead bring-up and debugging for new boards and SoCs—bootloaders, drivers, and low-level diagnostics—partnering with electrical engineers and software developers to take new sensor and compute platforms from prototype…
• Define and build automated testing frameworks and harnesses at the unit, integration, and system levels alongside test and platform engineers.
• Mentor other embedded engineers, give thorough code reviews, and help set engineering standards, tools, and best practices across the team.

Job requirements

• Expert-level C and/or C++ for embedded systems; additional languages and tooling are a plus.
• Strong command of communication protocols, from low level (SPI, UART, I2C, CAN) to higher level (TCP/UDP).
• Experience developing on RTOS environments (e.g., PX5 or other POSIX/pthreads-based real-time OSes such as embedded Linux with pthreads, QNX, VxWorks, or RTEMS).
• Experience with MCU bootloaders, device drivers, and new board or SoC bring-up.
• Experience deploying firmware to multi-device systems or vehicles in a power-safe, fault-tolerant way.
• Demonstrated speed and size optimization for resource-constrained platforms.
• Typically 7+ years developing embedded software for production systems, including substantial work on safety-critical or highly reliable platforms (automotive, aerospace, medical, industrial, robotics, etc.).
