- 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.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain embedded software and firmware for microcontroller and microprocessor-based systems.
- Develop low-level device drivers, Board Support Packages (BSP), bootloaders, and hardware abstraction layers (HAL).
- Build real-time applications using RTOS platforms including FreeRTOS, VxWorks, ThreadX, Zephyr, or Embedded Linux.
- Develop firmware supporting communication interfaces including UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB, Ethernet, BLE, and MQTT.
- Collaborate with hardware engineers during board bring-up, hardware validation, and system integration activities.
- Optimize embedded applications for CPU utilization, memory footprint, power consumption, and boot time.
- Implement secure firmware update mechanisms, secure boot, encryption, and hardware-based security features.
- Develop software supporting sensors, actuators, wireless modules, and peripheral devices.
- Debug hardware-software integration issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG debuggers, and protocol analyzers.
- Write unit tests, integration tests, and automated validation scripts to ensure firmware quality.
- Participate in architecture reviews, code reviews, technical design discussions, and Agile development activities.
- Support production deployments, field diagnostics, root cause analysis, and firmware maintenance.
