Job description

Company Overview

Embitel Technologies is a Volkswagen Group company and a leading digital transformation firm specializing in automotive embedded systems, connected mobility, and digital commerce. It delivers software‑defined vehicle solutions for global OEMs and Tier‑1 suppliers and supports all 12 Volkswagen brands through its CARIAD India unit.

Job Responsibilities

• Design, write, test, and optimize firmware in C/C++ for ARM Cortex‑M MCUs (STM32, NXP S32K, Renesas RL78/RH850) targeting automotive ECU applications.
• Architect and implement bare‑metal and RTOS‑based (FreeRTOS / Zephyr) firmware for real‑time embedded applications including task scheduling, ISR handling, and inter‑task communication.
• Develop production‑grade peripheral drivers for timers, ADC, PWM, DMA, GPIO, SPI, I2C, UART, and watchdog modules.
• Own memory‑constrained firmware development: stack/heap analysis, linker script configuration, flash/RAM optimization.
• Lead board bring‑up activities such as clock‑tree configuration, power‑mode management, and peripheral initialization.
• Develop and integrate firmware for NFC/RFID subsystems using NFC controller ICs (e.g., NXP PN532, ST25R series) interfaced over SPI/I2C.
• Implement NFC protocols including ISO 14443‑A/B, ISO 15693, and NFC Forum Type 2/4/5 tag read/write operations.
• Design secure NFC data‑exchange workflows including NDEF message formatting, anti‑collision handling, and NFC peer‑to‑peer communication.
• Integrate NFC‑based access control, secure key exchange, and authentication mechanisms in automotive and industrial applications.
• Validate NFC link performance—field strength, timing parameters, and multi‑tag collision avoidance—using RF lab equipment and protocol analyzers.

Work Culture

Embitel promotes a collaborative, flat hierarchy environment. Employees are considered partners in growth, encouraged to challenge norms, and to work as a cohesive team.
