Job description

Job Title: Embedded Firmware Display Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Embedded Firmware Display Engineer. In this role, you will be responsible for developing and optimizing display firmware for embedded devices. You'll work closely with cross-functional teams including hardware, software, and systems engineering to deliver high-performance, embedded display solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware for display subsystems including LBL displays.
• Implement and optimize display rendering pipelines and graphics drivers for microcontroller-based systems.
• Work with real-time operating systems (RTOS), particularly FreeRTOS, to manage display-related tasks and system resources efficiently.
• Collaborate with hardware teams to bring up new displays and validate signal integrity and display performance.
• Integrate and optimize display interfaces (e.g., MIPI DSI, SPI, RGB, LVDS) with embedded platforms.
• Debug and profile display firmware performance across various use cases.
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented C/C++ code with clear version control practices.
• Support bring-up and validation of custom MCU-based boards with embedded display functionality.
• Contribute to system architecture discussions related to embedded graphics and user interface rendering.

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in embedded firmware development with a focus on display systems.
• Solid understanding of microcontrollers (MCUs), display interfaces, and graphics subsystems.
• Proficiency with C/C++ and familiarity with embedded toolchains, debuggers, and IDEs.
• Hands-on experience with LBL (Local Backlight) and LGBL (Local Global Backlight) display technologies.
• Experience with RTOS environments (FreeRTOS strongly preferred).
• Experience with rendering pipelines, display controller ICs, and optimizing for performance and memory usage.
• Familiarity with communication protocols such as I2C, SPI, UART, and CAN.
• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
