Embedded Software Engineer (Platform & Firmware)
Overview :
We are seeking an Embedded Software Engineer (Platform & Firmware) to design, develop, and test software that interfaces directly with hardware, such as microcontrollers and processors in embedded systems. This role focuses on foundational software development, including drivers, bootloaders, and firmware, using C, C++, and assembly to manage system resources and optimize device performance.
You will need a deep understanding of computer architecture, hardware-software integration, and low-level debugging. As a core member of our software engineering team, you will collaborate closely with embedded software and hardware engineers to deliver high-performance, reliable systems.
Key Responsibilities :
Develop Low-Level Software : Write and maintain firmware, bootloaders, and device drivers for embedded hardware platforms.
Optimize Performance : Ensure code efficiency and performance on resource-constrained systems (limited memory, CPU, power).
Hardware-Software Integration : Collaborate with hardware teams to validate and troubleshoot system-level issues.
Debug and Test : Use tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and in-circuit debuggers to identify and resolve issues at the hardware / software boundary.
System Resource Management : Implement low-level system features such as power management, memory allocation, and communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, etc.).
Required Skills and Qualifications :
Proficiency in C, C++, and assembly language for embedded development.
Strong understanding of microcontrollers, processors, and memory management.
Experience with device trees, real-time operating systems (RTOS), and device driver development.
Skilled in using low-level debugging tools : oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, ICE, etc.
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills to address complex hardware / software integration issues.
Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science.
Preferred skills :
The ideal candidate will also have :
Experience with EtherCAT technology
CAN ecosystem Software : DeviceNet or CANopen stacks
Embedded Linux Platform Software : Device tree, init / system services, userspace
deamons, kernal Diagnostic tooling : Python utilities for log parsing and packet / trace inspection
PLC familiarity : (software and hardware)
