Embedded Software Engineer

About the Role

• Would you like to build the software that powers next-generation connected devices? We’re looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to design and develop production-grade software for Linux-based embedded systems used in high-impact industrial and IoT environments.
• In this role, you’ll work close to the operating system layer, developing reliable and secure embedded applications while collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams. You’ll contribute to the architecture, performance, and reliability of systems that interact directly with hardware, communication buses, and industrial protocols.

About You

• You have solid experience developing embedded software for Linux-based systems.
• You are comfortable working close to the operating system layer, including kernel configuration, system services, and debugging tools.
• You enjoy building reliable and high-performance software using modern C++ and Python.
• You collaborate effectively with firmware, hardware, and platform engineering teams.
• You communicate clearly across technical stakeholders and contribute actively to architecture discussions.
• You are passionate about building robust systems that run in real-world industrial environments.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Design and develop embedded software running on Linux-based systems.
• Customize and maintain embedded Linux distributions using the Yocto build system.
• Configure and debug Linux kernels, system services, and process management.
• Develop high-performance applications using modern C++.
• Build automation tools and development utilities using Python.
• Implement and debug industrial communication protocols such as Modbus RTU/TCP and CAN Bus.
• Design and maintain secure over-the-air update workflows with rollback mechanisms.
• Troubleshoot field issues related to networking, timing, hardware communication, and system updates.
• Contribute to system architecture decisions and embedded platform design.
• Write unit and integration tests to ensure reliability and maintainability.
• Participate in code reviews and maintain high engineering standards.
• Collaborate in Agile development environments and contribute to sprint planning and delivery.

What We’re Looking For

• A proactive and solution-oriented mindset when addressing complex embedded systems challenges.
• Strong analytical and debugging skills in hardware-adjacent software environments.
• Ability to prioritize tasks and deliver features in sprint-based development cycles.
• Curiosity and willingness to continuously learn new tools and technologies.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills across multidisciplinary teams.
• Ownership mentality and attention to quality, reliability, and long-term maintainability.

Technical Requirements

• Must-Haves
• 6+ years of experience in embedded software development.
• Strong proficiency in C++ and Python.
• Hands-on experience with Embedded Linux environments.
• Experience with the Yocto build system for embedded distributions.
• Experience with RAUC or similar over-the-air update frameworks.
• Familiarity with system debugging tools such as gdb, strace, and tcpdump.
• Experience implementing Modbus RTU/TCP and CAN Bus communication protocols.
• Understanding of multithreading, concurrency, and inter-process communication.
• Solid knowledge of networking fundamentals.
• Experience with Git workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with containerized development environments such as Docker or Docker Compose.
• Nice-to-Haves
• Experience with Boost.Asio or asynchronous C++ programming patterns.
• Experience with messaging systems such as ZeroMQ or MQTT.
• Familiarity with time synchronization systems such as NTP or RTC handling.
• Experience implementing A/B partitioning strategies and secure boot chains.
• Familiarity with Trunk-Based Development workflows.
• Experience with unit testing frameworks such as Google Test.
• Experience working with cross-compilation toolchains.
• Domain knowledge in electric vehicles, energy systems, industrial automation, or IoT platforms.
