5+ years of hands-on experience in embedded software development, with at least 2 years in a senior or lead capacity.
Demonstrated ability to lead internal teams or cross-functional mini-projects from scoping through delivery.
Experience mentoring engineers and conducting technical code and design reviews.
Strong testing experience (TDD, unit tests, mocking frameworks) in embedded and/or regulated environments.
Advanced proficiency in Python, Qt/C++, and Web-Based Application Development.
Strong working knowledge of Yocto Linux, embedded cybersecurity frameworks, and relevant compliance standards (IEC 62443, IEC 62304, or similar).
Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

Design and develop high-performance Qt/C++ applications for embedded HMI systems on industrial touchscreen panels.
Create responsive, touch-optimized user interfaces using Qt Quick/QML for real-time monitoring dashboards.
Implement efficient data visualization components for temperature trends, alarms, and equipment status.
Develop cross-platform applications targeting both embedded Linux devices and desktop environments.
Optimize Qt applications for resource-constrained embedded systems (memory footprint, startup time, rendering performance).
Integrate Qt applications with backend services via REST APIs, WebSockets, and MQTT.
Lead and mentor junior engineers on Qt/C++ best practices, code quality standards, and design patterns.
Drive architecture decisions and technical direction for HMI application development efforts.
Build and maintain custom Yocto Linux distributions for industrial embedded devices.
Create and manage Yocto layers, recipes, and BSP configurations for target hardware platforms.
Configure device trees, kernel modules, and system services for industrial applications.
Develop CI/CD pipelines for automated Yocto builds and deployment workflows.
Own and lead Yocto platform initiatives from requirements through delivery, coordinating cross-functional contributors.
Develop Python-based backend services for industrial automation and test systems.
Create test automation frameworks for end-of-line production testing.
Implement and maintain industrial protocol communication (Modbus TCP, CANbus) using Python libraries.
Create Python utilities for device configuration, firmware management, and diagnostics.
Lead scoped internal projects such as test system overhauls or protocol integration efforts, managing timelines and technical deliverables.
Manage the ongoing embedded cybersecurity program across the full product lifecycle.
Conduct periodic security reviews, vulnerability assessments, and threat modeling exercises.
Maintain and improve the organization’s embedded security posture through continuous hardening efforts.
Monitor and respond to emerging CVEs and security advisories relevant to embedded Linux and industrial systems.
Document security architecture, hardening procedures, and incident response protocols.
Serve as the internal technical authority on embedded security, guiding team members through compliance and hardening requirements.
