Collaborate with hardware engineers to define system architecture, debug hardware/firmware interactions, and ensure seamless integration.
Optimize firmware for power efficiency, performance, and memory constraints in resource-limited embedded systems.
Participate in code reviews, maintain high-quality code standards, and document firmware designs and processes.
Contribute to system-level debugging, performance profiling, and validation of embedded systems.
Optionally, support FPGA integration, including firmware interfacing with FPGA designs, or contribute to custom OS builds using tools like Yocto or Buildroot.

Strong programming skills in C/C++ for embedded systems, with experience in assembly language as a plus.
Experience with communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, USB, Ethernet, etc.) and real-time system constraints.
Familiarity with debugging tools (JTAG, SWD, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) and embedded development environments.
Desired
Experience developing C++ applications for embedded systems.
Proficiency in CI/CD workflow development for embedded firmware projects (e.g., Teamcity, GitLab CI, or similar).
