Qualifications

• Strong embedded C development skills; working knowledge of C++.
• Experience with RTOS and/or bare-metal embedded systems.
• Understanding of interrupts, DMA, low-level drivers, and resource-constrained systems.
• Hardware debugging using schematics, datasheets, and oscilloscopes.
• Strong analytical, communication, and collaboration skills.
• 3+ years (Master’s), 5+ years (Bachelor’s), PhD, or equivalent experience.
• Degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Advantage: FPGA interfacing, embedded Linux, machine vision protocols, Python/Bash scripting, or VHDL/Verilog familiarity.

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain embedded firmware in C for industrial camera platforms.
• Develop low-level drivers, interrupt handling, DMA paths, boot processes, and board support functionality.
• Implement processor-to-FPGA interfaces, register maps, and control mechanisms.
• Contribute to machine vision interface stacks including GenICam, GigE Vision, USB3 Vision, and CoaXPress.
• Optimize high-throughput data streaming, synchronization, and timing performance.
• Support board bring-up, hardware debugging, and root-cause analysis.
• Investigate customer-reported issues and deliver verified fixes.
• Participate in code reviews, design discussions, testing, and documentation.
• Collaborate closely with FPGA, hardware, software, and test engineering teams.
