About The Position

Seagate is hiring multiple Senior Embedded Software Engineers in its Software Engineering organization, which develops embedded software for storage products. The role focuses on close-to-hardware software design for reliable, high-performance product behavior across Seagate’s storage markets. The engineer will design, implement, and integrate C/C++ embedded software changes for assigned storage-platform features or components. The work includes improving reliability, performance, manufacturability, and product readiness; investigating issues involving software, hardware, firmware interfaces, operating environments, and storage-system behavior; and supporting defect resolution from reproduction and root-cause analysis through corrective action and validation support. The position contributes to design and code reviews, debug strategy, defect prevention, and software-quality practices. It also involves communicating technical analysis and risks, collaborating with cross-functional partners, and sharing domain knowledge or providing informal guidance to less-experienced engineers. The position may be based at either the Longmont, Colorado or Shakopee, Minnesota campus. Travel is not required.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related technical field and 5+ years of experience, or a master’s degree in the same and 3+ years of experience, or a PhD and 0+ years of experience, or equivalent experience and education.
Strong foundation in operating systems, concurrency, memory management, data structures, algorithms, and computer architecture.
Proficiency developing embedded software in C/C++.
Experience debugging embedded, firmware, or system-level issues using structured root-cause analysis, instrumentation, logs, lab tools, and cross-functional collaboration.
Experience contributing to design, implementation, integration, validation support, and release readiness in a hardware-dependent software environment.

Nice To Haves

Experience with embedded operating systems, device drivers, storage systems, real-time software, low-level platform software, firmware interfaces, or hardware bring-up.
Experience contributing to modular design, interface definition, test strategy, build systems, CI/CD, static analysis, or software-quality tools.
Knowledge of HDD devices, storage protocols, system-level performance analysis, reliability considerations, failure modes, or storage-subsystem behavior.
Experience sharing technical knowledge, supporting debug efforts, collaborating across teams, or improving local engineering practices.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and integrate C/C++ embedded software changes for assigned storage-platform features or components.
Improve software reliability, performance, manufacturability, and product readiness.
Apply computer science fundamentals, modular design, clear interfaces, and testable implementation practices to deliver maintainable software across products and releases.
Investigate and resolve product-development issues involving embedded software, hardware interactions, firmware interfaces, operating environments, and storage-system behavior.
Support defect and integration-issue resolution from reproduction and root-cause analysis through corrective action, validation support, risk awareness, and stakeholder communication.
Contribute to design reviews, code reviews, debug strategy, and defect-prevention practices.
Share domain knowledge, provide informal guidance to less-experienced engineers, and collaborate with cross-functional partners on technical decisions.
