Embedded Rust Engineer for Automotive Telematics

Xentron; Fatih; On-site; TRY 250,000 - 450,000; Full time

Job summary

Xentron is seeking an engineer to own the Rust portion of a C + Rust firmware running on ESP32-S3 and STM32 platforms. You will implement messaging, telemetry resilience, and hardware-near components, ensuring correctness and readability in production code.

Your role involves managing no_std boundaries, FFI discipline, FreeRTOS task hygiene, and robust data processing from CAN/J1939/OBD-II/DoIP buses, with cloud messaging integration for large-scale deployments.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in production embedded firmware, ARM Cortex-M/ESP32 class.
• Production Rust experience with safe/unsafe usage and no_std environments.
• Strong C interop (FFI, extern "C") and memory management.
• RTOS background and hardware-near debugging ability.
• Excellent English for technical docs and reviews.

Responsibilities

• Write production-grade Rust components on ESP-IDF v5.x across no_std/std boundaries.
• Standardize memory ownership and safety across C-Rust FFI boundaries.
• Manage FreeRTOS tasks: sizing, pinning, priority schemes.
• Improve telemetry resilience: queues, handover, retries, ordered delivery.
• Process data from CAN FD / J1939 / OBD-II / DoIP buses.
• Design cloud messaging integration (e.g. NATS JetStream) for fleets.
• Write unit and property tests; integrate into CI; enforce panic strategy.
• Contribute to design reviews and code quality discussions.
