Embedded Systems Engineer | Firmware Engineer

Role Overview

Firmware Development

• Design, develop, test, and maintain embedded firmware for electronic and connected products.
• Develop reliable firmware for microcontrollers, embedded processors, and hardware platforms.
• Write and optimize embedded software using C, C++, or other relevant programming languages.
• Develop drivers and components for sensors, peripherals, communication interfaces, and hardware modules.
• Integrate firmware with processors, sensors, actuators, displays, and other electronic components.

Interfaces and Debugging

• Implement UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB, Ethernet, or similar communication interfaces.
• Develop real-time embedded applications using RTOS platforms where required.
• Debug firmware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, debuggers, and related engineering tools.
• Investigate firmware defects, hardware-software integration issues, and system-level problems.

Testing and Quality

• Optimize firmware performance, memory usage, power consumption, boot time, and system reliability.
• Conduct unit, integration, system, and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
• Create and maintain automated test procedures for embedded software and hardware interfaces.
• Support prototype development, engineering validation, product qualification, and production testing.

Delivery and Collaboration

• Convert technical requirements into firmware specifications and development plans.
• Maintain source code using Git or other version-control systems and participate in code reviews.
• Document firmware architecture, interfaces, configurations, testing, and troubleshooting procedures.
• Collaborate with hardware, software, QA, manufacturing, and product teams on technical and production issues.

Qualifications

• Diploma or bachelor's degree in electrical, electronics, computer engineering, computer science, or a related discipline.
• Previous experience in embedded systems, firmware development, embedded software, or hardware-software integration.
• Strong programming skills in C and/or C++.
• Strong knowledge of microcontrollers, processors, memory architecture, interrupts, timers, and embedded peripherals.
• Experience with embedded development environments, compilers, debuggers, and hardware development tools.
• Strong knowledge of UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB, or Ethernet communication protocols.

Additional Experience

• Experience with ARM Cortex-M or other common embedded processor architectures is advantageous.
• Familiarity with RTOS concepts, including tasks, scheduling, synchronization, queues, and interrupts.
• Experience debugging with JTAG, SWD, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, or similar tools.
• Understanding of electronics, digital circuits, sensors, actuators, and basic hardware troubleshooting.
• Experience with Git or other source-control systems and familiarity with automated testing.
• Embedded Linux, bootloaders, device drivers, or wireless technologies are advantageous.
