Embedded Software Engineer (4+ years)

Job Description

Job Description

We are helping an on-demand, autonomous ride-hailing company find a Fleet Support Engineer to develop embedded software and tooling for safety-critical automated test infrastructure. In this role, you'll work cross-functionally to build sensor emulators, automation frameworks, and hardware-software validation systems.

In this role, you'll design and maintain high-performance embedded Linux applications, develop Python-based test automation, and integrate software with FPGA and ECU hardware. You'll also troubleshoot complex hardware and software issues and support end-to-end verification efforts.

The ideal candidate has strong C++ and Linux development experience, a solid background in embedded systems and hardware-software integration, and hands-on experience building automated test frameworks for safety-critical systems.

• Architect, implement, and maintain production-quality C++ applications for embedded Linux, with a focus on low-latency, high-performance user-space and kernel-space solutions.
• Design Python-based automation frameworks and tools to streamline test execution, integration, and performance validation.
• Build and expand hardware-software sensor emulators while maintaining existing test assets and validation frameworks.
• Integrate embedded software with FPGA-based and ECU hardware using interfaces such as Ethernet, I2C, SPI, and CAN.
• Test and troubleshoot hardware and software issues, executing end-to-end verification strategies to ensure product quality and reliability.
  

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field, with 4+ years of relevant industry experience
• Strong C++ development skills focused on low-latency, high-performance code in user (and ideally kernel) space
• Extensive Linux development experience, including networking and system-level programming
• Proficiency with Python and test automation (e.g., Pytest), plus Git, build systems (e.g., Bazel), and unit testing frameworks (e.g., GTest)
• Hands-on experience building hardware/software integration test frameworks using embedded interfaces (Ethernet, I2C, SPI, CAN)

Bonus Qualifications:

• Linux kernel development and device driver implementation, including embedded software for ARM cores using Xilinx SDK and MPSoC platforms
• Experience with Yocto or Petalinux, and familiarity with FPGA development, System Verilog, and HDL verification
• Experience with high-speed protocols (PCIe, MIPI CSI-2), Precision Time Protocol (PTP / IEEE 1588), and Automotive Ethernet
• Ability to read and analyze electronic schematics, with knowledge of PCB design and manufacturing workflows
