Descrição do cargo

We’re hiring a Lead Embedded Software Engineer to own the brains of a next‑gen hardware platform

We’re working with a US‑based industrial technology group that buildshardware used in mining, construction and large‑scale infrastructure. Their systems operate in some of the harshest environments on the planet and rely on high‑precision positioning, real‑time data and embedded intelligence to get the job done.

They’re building a specialist hardware and GNSS team in Lisbon. You will be the engineer who defines and evolves the embedded software platform that runs across multiple products.

Technical Skills:

• Linux kernel customization, including configuration, compilation, and optimization.
• Strong experience with Yocto Project for building and maintaining embedded Linux distributions.
• Proficiency in C and C++ for embedded systems development.
• Experience with Android Open Source Project (AOSP), building and customizing AOSP for embedded or mobile platforms. Familiarity with HAL layers, system services, and Android build system.
• Experience integrating image sensors and ISP pipelines using available drivers.
• Experience designing generic, reusable software frameworks for embedded products.
• Familiarity with device drivers, BSPs (Board Support Packages), and hardware bring‑up.
• Knowledge of cross‑compilation, build systems, and toolchains.
• Hands‑on debugging with JTAG, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and Linux debug tools (gdb, strace, perf).
• Experience with communication protocols (Ethernet, CAN, UART, SPI, I²C, USB, etc.).
• Understanding of real‑time constraints and performance optimization in embedded systems
• Familiarity with cybersecurity considerations in embedded devices.
• Version control (Git), CI/CD, and issue tracking tools (Jira, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.).

Domain / Product Knowledge:

• Prior work on embedded networking, GNSS, or RF‑based products is a strong plus.
• Understanding of system resource constraints (memory, power, CPU utilization).
• Knowledge of industry standards for ruggedized and field‑deployed devices.

Soft Skills & Leadership:

• Ability to define system architecture and influence product design from concept through production.
• Proven experience in cross‑functional collaboration with hardware, mechanical, and test teams.
• Strong documentation and code quality practices (unit tests, code reviews, design documents).
• Problem‑solving, analytical mindset with proven track record of delivering reliable products.
• Mentoring and technical leadership experience is a strong advantage.
