Job Description

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Embedded Software Engineer with a strong background in bare-metal C development to help design and deliver innovative embedded products from concept through production. This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer who enjoys working close to the hardware, building firmware from the ground up, and solving complex system-level challenges.

You will take full ownership of embedded software development, collaborating closely with hardware and PCB design teams to ensure seamless integration and reliable product performance.

Key Responsibilities

Full Lifecycle Ownership

Translate high-level system requirements into robust embedded software solutions, including architecture, design, implementation, validation, and production support

Bare-Metal Firmware Development

Design, implement, and optimize firmware in C for bare-metal microcontrollers (no operating system)

Ensure deterministic behavior, timing accuracy, and efficient hardware interaction

New Product Development

Lead embedded software efforts for new product introductions, creating clean, maintainable codebases from scratch

Support hardware bring-up and early prototype development

Hardware Collaboration

Work closely with electrical and PCB engineers to define interfaces, validate designs, and resolve hardware/software integration issues

Testing & Debugging

Develop test plans and perform system-level verification

Debug firmware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and in-circuit debuggers

Quality & Documentation

Participate in design reviews and contribute to technical documentation

Promote code quality, scalability, and long-term maintainability

Required Skills & Experience

5+ years of embedded software development experience using C in bare-metal environments

Proven experience taking embedded products from concept through production

Strong understanding of embedded system architecture, interrupt-driven design, and real-time constraints

Hands-on debugging and troubleshooting skills using hardware tools (oscilloscopes, emulators, JTAG)

Experience with communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, and USB

Solid grasp of hardware/software integration principles

Strong written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with STM32 or similar microcontroller families

Familiarity with hardware abstraction layers (HAL) and bootloader design

Experience using Git or similar version control systems

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related fieldCompany Description
