Embedded UI Firmware Engineer - Thermal Platform

Embedded Linux HMI/UI Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled Embedded Linux HMI/UI Engineer to design and develop user interfaces for our thermal control platform. This role requires both hands-on implementation and system-level design ownership of modern HMI solutions deployed on embedded Linux near real-time and other real-time systems. HVAC specific knowledge is highly desired.

Responsibilities:

Design and develop HMI/UI applications for embedded Linux platforms using Qt (Widgets and/or QML)

Architect scalable, modular UI frameworks that integrate with system services via RESTful APIs

Collaborate with firmware, controls, and backend teams to define and evolve system interfaces

Translate product requirements into intuitive, responsive, and reliable user experiences

Optimize UI performance for constrained embedded environments (CPU, memory, GPU)

Implement robust error handling, diagnostics, and status visualization for system monitoring and control

Contribute to system architecture decisions, including UI/backend separation, data models, and communication layers

Other tasks and activities as required by management

Requirements:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)

Proven experience developing HMI/UI applications on embedded Linux platforms

Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs in UI applications

Solid understanding of software architecture principles (modularity, layering, separation of concerns)

Proficiency in C++ and familiarity with Linux system concepts (processes, IPC, networking)

Demonstrated ability to design maintainable, extensible UI systems—not just implement features

3+ years of experience with Linux-based controls firmware development and testing

3+ years of experience abstracting and using C/C++ programming language

Preferred Qualification:

Strong expertise in Qt framework (Qt5/Qt6, QML and/or Widgets)

Experience in HVAC, thermal systems, or industrial control environments

Familiarity with control systems, real-time data visualization, or telemetry-driven UI design

Experience with embedded graphics acceleration (OpenGL, EGL, GPU usage in Qt)

Knowledge of communication protocols (e.g., Modbus, CAN, MQTT)

Experience with secure communication and authentication (TLS, tokens, etc.)

Exposure to DevOps practices (CI/CD, automated builds, embedded deployment pipelines)

Development environment:

Languages/Syntax: C++, C, Python, Bash Shell, Qt

Communication protocols: RESTful Api, HTTPS

Operating systems: embedded Linux and real-time operating systems (FreeRTOS)

Platforms: TI SoC, ARM, x86

Tools: VS Code, Cursor, and Docker

Version management: GitLab

Build system: BitBake, Yocto, GitLab Pipelines

Test: Device Simulation, Hardware in Loop (HIL)
