Lead Embedded Software Engineer

Dimensional Thinking

What They're Looking For


The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of embedded engineering experience and be comfortable jumping in immediately and leading from day one.


Key technical experience includes:

  • Embedded systems development at the design/coding level
  • Embedded C or C++
  • C# and/or Python are a plus
  • Assembly programming is a nice-to-have
  • Bare-metal embedded development
  • Printed circuit board / hardware experience
  • Microcontrollers, particularly PIC
  • ARM experience is highly desirable as they are migrating toward ARM
  • RTOS (real-time operating systems) experience is important
  • Linux experience is a plus
  • SPI
  • USB
  • Test equipment
  • Hardware/software integration
  • Git/Git system experience
  • Bug tracking
  • Project scheduling
  • Agile/Scrum experience
  • Scrum Master experience would be an additional plus
Important: This is not a web development role. They need someone with genuine embedded systems and hardware experience.

Leadership & Project Experience


They're looking for someone who can step in and lead immediately, while remaining hands-on technically.


Experience with the following would be valuable:
  • Leading engineering projects or teams
  • Driving projects from concept through development
  • Influencing cross-functional teams
  • Creating and managing project schedules
  • Agile development environments
  • Establishing or improving development processes
  • Git/version-control systems
  • Bug tracking systems
  • Building team capabilities
The company wants someone who enjoys being hands-on but also has an interest in growing into a leadership/management position over time.

  • Industrial machines
