• Design low-level drivers and interface modules for peripherals (UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO, ADC, etc.).
• Perform code reviews, static analysis, and unit testing to ensure firmware quality.
• Work with hardware engineers to debug timing, signal integrity, and power-management issues.
• Create and maintain documentation, including design specifications, application notes, and release notes.
• Collaborate with SW teams to implement RTOS-based tasks and real-time communication protocols.
• Optimize code for memory footprint, execution speed, and power consumption.
• Participate in hardware-software integration testing and field validation.
• Research and evaluate new tools, IDEs, and MCU families to enhance development workflows.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines for firmware builds and deployments.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 3+ years of professional experience writing firmware in C for embedded systems.
• Strong understanding of microcontroller architectures, interrupt handling, and peripheral interfacing.
• Experience with RTOS fundamentals, task scheduling, and inter-task communication mechanisms.
• Proficiency in debugging tools such as JTAG, SWD, and logic analyzers.
• Familiarity with version control systems (Git) and CI/CD pipelines for embedded firmware.
• Ability to write clear, concise technical documentation and release notes.
• Excellent problem- solving skills and a methodical approach to diagnosing hardware-software interaction issues.
• Comfortable working in a cross-functional team environment with Agile/Scrum workflows.
• Passion for staying up-to-date with industry trends, new MCUs, and secure firmware practices.
