Embedded Software Engineer I

Seagate Technology•Longmont, CO

1d•Onsite

About The Position

Seagate’s Software Engineering organization develops embedded software for storage products, combining software fundamentals with close-to-hardware design to deliver reliable, high-performance product behavior. The Embedded Software Engineer I analyzes, designs, implements, debugs, and maintains embedded software components in C/C++. The role applies computer science fundamentals to product software problems and builds modular, testable software with clear interfaces, appropriate abstraction, and maintainable structure. It also contributes to embedded software architecture improvements for reuse, performance, reliability, and long-term ownership, and troubleshoots issues across embedded software, hardware, and storage product behavior. The engineer participates in code reviews, design discussions, and defect-prevention practices to improve software quality. The role is based at either Seagate’s Longmont, Colorado, or Shakopee, Minnesota, campus. The campuses offer on-site amenities such as cafeterias or cafés, fitness facilities, and recreational activities. Travel may be up to 10%.

Requirements

Strong foundation in core computer science concepts, including operating systems, concurrency, memory management, and computer architecture.
Programming experience in C/C++, Rust, Python, or similar languages.
Understanding of embedded systems, resource-constrained design, hardware/software interaction, and modern development practices.
Bachelor’s degree in an engineering-related field, such as Computer Science or a related technical field.
0+ years of experience.

Nice To Haves

Experience with embedded operating systems, device drivers, storage systems, real-time software, or low-level platform software.
Exposure to modular architecture, interface contracts, testable design, build systems, CI/CD, or software quality tools.
Knowledge of HDD devices, storage protocols, system-level performance analysis, or storage subsystem topologies.
