About the Role
As an Embedded Software Engineer II, you will own specific components of our embedded stack, working close to the hardware on the real-time firmware that our safety devices depend on. You will architect safety-critical systems where reliability is a hard requirement and work with both RTOS and Embedded Linux environments.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement robust C/C++ firmware for safety-critical embedded devices.
- Architect and implement RTOS-based firmware on Zephyr and FreeRTOS.
- Write low-level peripheral drivers and board support code.
- Bring up new silicon from reset vector through to a running application.
- Interface RTOS devices with Embedded Linux user-space applications.
- Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines (GitLab) to automate testing.
- Bring up new hardware, debug complex issues using JTAG/GDB.
- Optimize for latency, power, and memory footprint.
- Collaborate with the safety team to ensure code adheres to rigorous standards (IEC 61508).
Requirements
- 3-5 years of hands-on embedded software development, with a substantial portion on RTOS or bare-metal targets.
- Strong proficiency in C.
- Working proficiency in C++.
- Solid production experience with an RTOS such as Zephyr, FreeRTOS, ThreadX, or similar.
- Comfort working directly with MCU peripherals, datasheets, reference manuals, linker scripts, and startup code.
- Familiarity with Embedded Linux user-space development.
- Familiarity with IP networking protocols and standard interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C, USB, CAN).
- Experience with Python for scripting/automation.
- Familiarity with CI/CD workflows.
- Comfort using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and GDB to troubleshoot hard-to-find bugs.
- B.S. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
- Experience with Zephyr specifically, including devicetree, Kconfig, and west-based workflows.
- Experience with wireless stacks (BLE, ISM, Wi-Fi) on constrained devices.
- Background in Functional Safety (FuSa) or working in regulated industries (Medical, Automotive, Aerospace).
- Low-level Linux knowledge of Board Support Packages (BSP) and device drivers.
- Familiarity with static analysis, MISRA C, or other coding standards used in safety-critical development.
