Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to design, develop, and optimize firmware and embedded software for next-generation connected devices, industrial automation systems, automotive platforms, medical devices, and IoT products. This role focuses on developing high-performance, real-time embedded applications that interact directly with hardware components while ensuring reliability, security, and compliance with industry standards.
You will collaborate closely with hardware engineers, systems architects, electrical engineers, QA teams, and product managers to build embedded software solutions supporting mission-critical products deployed across enterprise and industrial environments. The ideal candidate possesses strong expertise in embedded C/C++, RTOS development, device drivers, communication protocols, and hardware-software integration.

Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain embedded software and firmware for microcontroller and microprocessor-based systems.

- Develop low-level device drivers, Board Support Packages (BSP), bootloaders, and hardware abstraction layers (HAL).

- Build real-time applications using RTOS platforms including FreeRTOS, VxWorks, ThreadX, Zephyr, or Embedded Linux.

- Develop firmware supporting communication interfaces including UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB, Ethernet, BLE, and MQTT.

- Collaborate with hardware engineers during board bring-up, hardware validation, and system integration activities.

- Optimize embedded applications for CPU utilization, memory footprint, power consumption, and boot time.

- Implement secure firmware update mechanisms, secure boot, encryption, and hardware-based security features.

- Develop software supporting sensors, actuators, wireless modules, and peripheral devices.

- Debug hardware-software integration issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG debuggers, and protocol analyzers.

- Write unit tests, integration tests, and automated validation scripts to ensure firmware quality.

- Participate in architecture reviews, code reviews, technical design discussions, and Agile development activities.

- Support production deployments, field diagnostics, root cause analysis, and firmware maintenance.

Required Skills
- Six or more years of professional embedded software development experience.

- Strong proficiency in Embedded C and Modern C++ for firmware development.

- Extensive experience developing software for ARM Cortex-M, ARM Cortex-A, STM32, NXP, Renesas, Texas Instruments, or Microchip microcontrollers.

- Strong understanding of embedded systems architecture, memory management, interrupts, DMA, timers, and peripheral programming.

- Hands-on experience with RTOS platforms including FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX, Embedded Linux, or VxWorks.

- Experience developing device drivers and low-level hardware interfaces.

- Strong knowledge of communication protocols including UART, SPI, I2C, CAN/CAN FD, Ethernet, USB, Modbus, MQTT, BLE, and TCP/IP.

- Experience with Embedded Linux development, kernel configuration, and driver development is highly desirable.

- Familiarity with hardware debugging tools including JTAG, SWD, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and serial protocol analyzers.

- Experience
