Position Overview

MLTP is looking for a skilled embedded firmware engineer to join our team.

As a key team member, you will be responsible for low-level driver development, system bring-up, and firmware-hardware integration across a range of projects. Open position(s) available for entry, mid, and senior levels.

Objectives of this role

• Developing and implementing embedded firmware solutions in C/C+ for microcontrollers and SoCs.
• Implementing low-level drivers, communication protocols, and peripheral interfaces.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams, including hardware engineers, to define firmware requirements and specifications.
• Writing and optimizing efficient, reusable and scalable embedded code.
• Performing unit testing and debugging to ensure firmware functionality and reliability.
• Contributing to the documentation and maintenance of firmware applications.

Key responsibilities

• Design and develop embedded firmware solutions for microcontrollers.
• Perform system bring-up and board-level initialization during early-stage development.
• Collaborate with hardware and software engineers to define firmware requirements.
• Write efficient, modular and well-documented code in C/C++.
• Work with testing teams and execute test plans to ensure firmware meets quality standards.
• Debug and troubleshoot firmware to identify and resolve issues using (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and in-circuit debuggers).
• Optimize firmware for performance, reliability, and resource efficiency.
• Stay updated on industry advancements in embedded firmware development.
• Document firmware design, configuration settings, and version control history.

Required skills and qualifications
