Embedded Firmware Engineer

Role Purpose: Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware for microcontrollers, processors, and communication systems. Ensure reliable performance, compliance with industry standards, and seamless integration with hardware platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Firmware Development:

• Write and optimize embedded C/C++ code for microcontrollers and processors.

• Develop drivers, middleware, and application logic for hardware peripherals.

• Implement communication protocols (Ethernet, CAN, RS485, UART, SPI, IC, BLE).

• System Integration:

• Collaborate with hardware engineers to ensure hardware/software codesign.

• Integrate firmware with sensors, actuators, HMIs and external modules.

• Support system bringup, debugging, and validation.

• Networking & Control:

• Configure and manage networking stacks (TCP/IP, VLAN, QoS, IGMP Snooping).

• Develop firmware for control systems (PWM, valve & motor control, door automation, condition monitoring, PSU controllers).

• Diagnostics & Logging:

• Implement fault detection, event logging, and remote diagnostics & OTA.

• Support predictive and preventive maintenance features and condition monitoring algorithms.

• Testing & Validation:

• Debug using JTAG, UART, logic analyzers, and packet sniffers.

• Conduct unit testing, integration testing, and compliance validation.

• Documentation & Compliance:

• Prepare firmware release notes, test reports, and certification support documents.

• Ensure compliance with relevant standards (industrial, telecom, or railway).

Required Skills

• Strong proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems (RTOS/Linux).
• Experience with microcontroller SDKs (ARM Cortex, Microchip, NXP, Renesas, STMicroelectronics).
• Knowledge of networking protocols (Ethernet, TCP/IP, VLAN, QoS).
• Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (CAN, RS485, Modbus).
• Handson with debugging tools (JTAG, logic analyzers, packet sniffer).
• Ability to work crossfunctionally with hardware, mechanical, and compliance teams.

Qualification

• Education: B.E./B.Tech in Electronics, Electrical, or Computer Science Engineering.
• Experience: 3-5 years in embedded firmware development, preferably in industrial, automotive, telecom, or railway systems.
• Preferred: Exposure to safetycritical systems (fire & smoke detection, condition monitoring, security & surveillance system, automation, motor control,TCMS).
