Embedded Software Engineer - II

The successful candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, and testing the low-level software (firmware) that controls the functionality of electronic hardware devices, like embedded systems and computer peripherals, requiring a deep understanding of hardware architecture and proficiency in programming languages like C/C++ to create code that interacts directly with the hardware components, often utilizing real-time operating systems (RTOS) to ensure timely system responses; they collaborate with hardware engineers to ensure seamless integration and troubleshoot issues throughout the product development cycle.

Essential Job Duties & Responsibilities:

Develop firmware architectures and algorithms to meet product requirements, considering hardware constraints and performance optimization. Write clean, efficient, and well-documented firmware code using embedded C/C++ programming languages, adhering to coding standards and best practices. Understand and utilize various hardware components like microcontrollers, memory, peripherals, and communication interfaces to interact with them through firmware. Work with RTOS to manage system tasks with precise timing and priority levels. Conduct thorough unit integration, and system-level testing to identify and resolve firmware defects, utilizing debugging tools and techniques. Work closely with hardware engineers to ensure smooth integration between firmware and hardware components, addressing design challenges and providing feedback. Create detailed technical documentation for firmware design, implementation, and testing procedures. Support existing firmware by implementing bug fixes, feature enhancements, and updates to address customer needs. May include travel to the field and/or trade shows. Perform product evaluations to determine if engineering standards are met. Flexibility to perform other duties and assignments as required

Position Requirements:

Bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent from an accredited university. 5+ years of previous experience in a similar role. Strong proficiency in C/C++ programming languages with a focus on embedded systems. Deep knowledge of microcontroller architectures, memory management, peripherals, and communication protocols. Experience with popular RTOS like FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or similar. Familiarity with IDEs, debuggers, emulators, and other development tools for embedded systems. Experience with unit testing, integration testing, and system-level validation methodologies. Excellent analytical and debugging skills to identify and troubleshoot complex firmware issues. Ability to effectively communicate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
