• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 2+ years of experience in embedded software development, preferably in a product-focused environment.
• Proficient in C/C++ and embedded systems programming, familiar with Python scripting.
• Strong experience with RTOS or Linux kernel development.
• Proficiency with ARM Cortex-M/A architectures and low-level hardware interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, GPIO).
• Proven track record of debugging complex embedded systems and working closely with hardware teams
• Proficient with electrical lab equipment (oscilloscope, multi-meter, power supply), familiar with embedded system PCB schematics.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with wireless communication protocols (e.g., BLE, Zigbee, Wi-Fi).
• Hands-on experience with Zephyr OS in real-world embedded applications.
• Familiarity with secure boot, firmware update mechanisms, and embedded security.
• Exposure to ASIC/FPGA development environments and simulation tools.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and version control systems (e.g., Git, Jenkins).

Responsibilities

• Architect, design, and implement embedded firmware for custom ASICs and SoCs, using the C programming language at the physical layer and application layer of the wireless stack.
• Software development including RTOS integration (including Zephyr OS), device drivers, and system-level software.
• Collaborate with hardware, systems, and applications teams to define software requirements and ensure seamless integration.
• Drive debugging and bring-up of new silicon platforms using JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
• Optimize software for performance, power efficiency, and memory usage.
• Conduct code reviews, mentor junior developers, and promote best practices in software engineering.
• Contribute to project planning, risk assessment, and technical documentation.
