- Experience developing device drivers and low-level hardware interfaces.
- Strong knowledge of communication protocols including UART, SPI, I2C, CAN/CAN FD, Ethernet, USB, Modbus, MQTT, BLE, and TCP/IP.
- Experience with Embedded Linux development, kernel configuration, and driver development is highly desirable.
- Familiarity with hardware debugging tools including JTAG, SWD, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and serial protocol analyzers.
- Experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, automated firmware builds, and version control systems.
- Strong understanding of software debugging, profiling, and optimization techniques.
- Experience using build systems such as CMake, Makefiles, or Bazel.
- Knowledge of secure coding practices for embedded systems.
- Experience working in Agile Scrum development environments.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience developing software for automotive, aerospace, medical devices, industrial automation, robotics, or IoT platforms.
- Familiarity with AUTOSAR, MISRA C/C++, ISO 26262, IEC 61508, DO-178C, IEC 62304, or other industry safety standards.
- Experience with Yocto Project, Buildroot, or custom Embedded Linux distributions.
- Knowledge of wireless communication technologies including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Zigbee, LoRaWAN, or Cellular IoT.
- Experience implementing secure boot, TPM integration, Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), and firmware signing.
- Familiarity with FPGA integration and hardware acceleration.
- Experience using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or GitLab CI for firmware automation.
- Knowledge of Python or Shell scripting for test automation and manufacturing support.
- Experience with cloud-connected IoT platforms including AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub, or Google Cloud IoT.
- Embedded systems certifications or contributions to open-source embedded projects are highly desirable.
Project Environment
You will be joining an embedded engineering team developing next-generation intelligent devices and connected systems supporting enterprise and industrial customers. Current initiatives include:
- Industrial IoT gateways and edge computing platforms
- Smart manufacturing and factory automation controllers
- Automotive electronic control units (ECUs)
- Medical monitoring and diagnostic devices
- Connected consumer electronics and smart home devices
