Descrição da oferta de emprego

We r e h i r i n g a Lead Embedded Software Engineer to own the brains of a next-gen hardware platform

We r e 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.
• 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.
