X4 Technology; España; A distancia; EUR 83.000 - 124.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

X4 Technology seeks an experienced Embedded Engineer to port and bring up U-Boot on a new SoC, working remotely across Europe. The role emphasizes low-level development near hardware with strong C and ARM expertise.

You will engage in bootloader work, kernel debugging, and upstream processes as part of a long-term contract. The position is fully remote in Europe, offering the chance to influence a next-generation platform while collaborating with hardware and software teams.

Formación

• Strong Embedded C / low-level development experience.
• Experience with U-Boot.
• Strong understanding of embedded Linux / ARM-based platforms.
• Desirable: high-end MPU experience, Yocto / Linux build systems, Device Tree, Git / GitLab, JIRA, Python, MISRA / static analysis, software testing background.

Responsabilidades

• Port and bring up U-Boot on a new SoC.
• Work across the boot chain and support the platform from early bring-up through verification.
• Develop embedded C and low-level software for bootloaders and kernel interactions.
• Collaborate across teams to ensure a robust boot process and hardware bring-up.

Descripción del empleo

Embedded Engineer – U-Boot / Cortex-A | Remote Europe | Outside IR35

An industry leading SemiConductor client is looking for a senior experienced Embedded Engineer for a long-term contract working fully from home (you can work from anywhere in Europe) on the porting of U-Boot to a next-generation SoC.

This is a genuinely low-level role — ideal for someone who enjoys working close to the hardware and has experience with U-Boot, bootloaders, Cortex-A, or high-end RZ/MPUs.

The opportunity

Fully remote – work from anywhere in Europe

Work directly on a next-generation SoC and boot platform

What you'll be doing

The core focus is porting and bringing up U-Boot on a new SoC, working across the boot chain and supporting the platform from early bring-up through verification.

You'll be working with areas such as:

• Embedded C and low-level development
• Open-source upstream processes
• Cortex-A / high-end MPU architectures
• High end MPU such as Renesas RZ
• Linux BSPs, Device Tree and embedded Linux basics
• Experience with Yocto, Linux kernel debugging
• Hardware bring-up and debug would also be highly relevant

What we're looking for

• Strong Embedded C / low-level development experience
• Experience with U-Boot
• Strong understanding of embedded Linux / ARM-based platforms

Highly desirable

• high-end MPU experience
• ARM TF-A
• Yocto / Linux build systems
• Device Tree
• Git / GitLab and JIRA
• Python
• MISRA / static analysis
• Strong software testing background

You don't need to tick every box.

If this sounds like your kind of project — or you know someone who'd be a good fit —

The client are targeting a start from January 4th for a long term home working contract engagement.

The interview process is one stage and you can be shipped the hardware and send the paperwork in the months before Christmas.
