Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer

Responsibilities

• Understand system and functional requirements, and translate them into detailed software requirements.
• Own firmware for bring-up → production on MCU/SoC in bare-metal and/or RTOS
• Design and implement algorithms with acute optimisation for CPU cycles and memory utilisation while meeting rigid real-time deadlines.
• Develop software/firmware from scratch, ensuring highly modular, maintainable, and scalable architectures.
• Build validation frameworks for verifying implemented algorithms.
• Create Software Detailed Design documentation.
• Perform Static Analysis, Unit Testing, and Integration Testing.
• Take complete ownership of assigned tasks from concept to deployment.
• Evaluate third-party software, debug field issues, and conduct peer reviews.
• Collaborate with the hardware team for board bring-up, understanding schematics and hardware interfaces.
• Work with RTOS-based and multi-threaded systems.
• Implement low-level drivers for microcontrollers and SoCs (ADC, PWM, GPIO, Timers, RTC, Flash, EEPROM, etc.).
• Debug and bring up embedded systems using tools such as UARTs, JTAG, oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analysers.
• Integrate with FPGAs and work on systems involving AMD Zynq Ultra-Scale SoCs.
• Work with Yocto/PetaLinux build flows and Linux kernel compilation from scratch.
• Develop using build systems such as CMake, and ensure smooth build and integration workflows.
• Produce production-quality artifacts: unit tests, integration tests, CI builds, release builds, traceability of changes.
• Work on low-level driver design for high-speed HW/SW interfaces.
• Apply robustness: watchdog, brownout handling, safe states, fault logging, recovery strategies.
• Apply strong debugging, analytical, verification, and validation skills for embedded systems.
