Job summary

We are seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer with deep expertise in low-level embedded systems, Board Support Packages (BSPs), real-time operating systems, and hardware-level debugging. This role is ideal for an engineer who is comfortable working close to the hardware, using lab instrumentation to diagnose and solve complex system challenges. You will join a collaborative embedded software team developing real-time communication and control products. The position offers significant ownership of technical solutions across the full product development lifecycle, from architecture and board bring-up through validation and release. Responsibilities Lead technical efforts to deliver high-quality solutions that meet customer, schedule, and performance objectives. Design, develop, debug, test, and maintain complex embedded software features. Own technical problem-solving across software, operating systems, and hardware interfaces. Create and review requirements, design documentation, source code, test plans, and user documentation. Perform unit, integration, and functional testing to verify compliance with system requirements. Troubleshoot issues using hardware debugging tools and lab instrumentation. Collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams while providing technical guidance when needed. Stay current with emerging embedded technologies, development practices, and engineering tools. Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field. 7+ years of embedded C/C++ development experience on microprocessors and microcontrollers (TI, NXP, or similar platforms). Strong experience with embedded real-time operating systems such as Integrity, QNX, Linux, or equivalent RTOS environments. Hands-on experience developing at the BSP level, as well as application and diagnostic software. Proficiency with hardware debugging and lab equipment, including logic analyzers, emulators, and digital multimeters (DMMs). Experience working with common embedded interfaces and communication protocols, including: SPI, I2C, USB, Ethernet. Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to clearly communicate technical concepts. Preferred Qualifications Advanced proficiency in C/C++ development. Experience with mission-critical or highly reliable embedded software development processes. Background in industrial automation, communication systems, control systems, or other large-scale embedded product development environments. Experience validating and testing real-time embedded products that integrate software with analog and digital hardware. Agile/Scrum development experience. What Makes a Strong Candidate Proven experience taking a product from board bring-up and BSP development through application deployment. Strong hands-on debugging skills with hardware instrumentation as a primary troubleshooting approach. Experience delivering embedded products in mission-critical, safety-conscious, or highly regulated environments. Why Join Us? High level of technical ownership and autonomy. Opportunity to influence architecture and system design decisions. Full product lifecycle involvement from concept through validation. Direct exposure to both software and hardware development. Collaborative, high-trust engineering environment focused on real-time communication and control technologies.
