Embedded Software Engineer

About The Role Embedded Software Engineer Onsite in Foster City, CA | 5 days in office The Autonomy Hardware Systems V&V team is seeking a contract Embedded Software Engineer to develop embedded software and tooling for safety‑critical automated test infrastructure. You'll be working cross‑functionally to develop sensor emulators and test frameworks. Responsibilities Architect, implement, and maintain production‑quality C++ applications for embedded Linux, focusing on low‑latency, high‑performance user‑ and kernel‑space solutions. Design Python‑based automation frameworks and tooling to streamline test execution, integration, and performance validation. Build and expand hardware/software sensor emulators, and maintain and extend existing test assets and validation frameworks. Integrate embedded software with FPGA‑based and ECU hardware over 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. Required 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, SystemVerilog, 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.
