Job description

Senior Embedded Software Engineer – RTOS / C / C

Overview

We’re seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer experienced in real-time operating systems (RTOS) and low-level C/C development. The ideal candidate will play a key role in designing, developing, and optimizing embedded system components across mission‑critical environments such as automotive, avionics, and telecommunications. This position requires hands‑on expertise with operating system internals, device drivers, and board‑level integration.

Key Responsibilities & Skills

• 5 years of embedded software development using C/C within VxWorks, QNX, or similar RTOS environments.
• Strong understanding of operating system concepts – memory management, task scheduling, interrupts, synchronization, and file systems.
• Proven experience in low‑level programming, including device drivers, BSPs, and hardware bring‑up for ARM or Intel platforms.
• Proficiency in C/C and Assembly (ARM assembler experience preferred).
• Exposure to virtualization and hypervisor environments (e.g., VMware vSphere or equivalent).
• Skilled with Linux development tools, Git/GitHub, and automation scripting (Python, Bash, Perl).
• Working knowledge of embedded security, including secure bootloaders, encrypted file systems, and network protocol encryption.
• Familiarity with software safety standards such as DO-178C, DO-254, or ISO 26262 (Avionics / Automotive).
• Strong analytical, debugging, and problem‑solving skills at kernel and hardware interaction levels.
• Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related discipline; mentoring or technical leadership experience is an asset.
