Job Summary

Design, develop, test, and maintain embedded firmware for microcontroller- and SoC-based products. Work cross-functionally with hardware, systems, QA, and product teams to deliver reliable, efficient firmware that meets product requirements and timelines.

Key responsibilities

• Architect, implement, and debug firmware (C/C++, RTOS, bare-metal) for embedded systems.

• Integrate and validate device drivers (GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, PWM, ADC, timers, USB, Ethernet, BLE/Wi‑Fi).

• Develop and maintain board bring-up, bootloaders (e.g., U-Boot), and BSPs.

• Optimize firmware for performance, power consumption, memory footprint, and real-time behavior.

• Write and maintain unit/integration tests, automated test benches, and CI pipelines for firmware.

• Perform hardware debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD, and in-circuit debuggers.

• Troubleshoot field issues, perform root-cause analysis, and deliver firmware patches/releases.

• Maintain clear technical documentation: specifications, design notes, release notes, and test plans.

• Participate in design reviews, project planning, and sprint activities.

Required qualifications

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

• 3+ years of professional experience in embedded firmware development.

• Strong C programming skills; C++ and assembly experience a plus.

• Experience with microcontrollers/MPUs (ARM Cortex-M/A, ESP, TI, NXP, ST, Microchip, etc.).

• Familiarity with RTOSes (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX, etc.) and bare-metal firmware.

• Proficiency with hardware interfaces and protocols: SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, USB, Ethernet, BLE, Wi‑Fi.

• Experience with debugging tools: JTAG/SWD, GDB, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers.

• Version control (Git) and experience with build systems/toolchains (GCC, Clang, Make, CMake).

• Strong problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.
