Job description

Description:

Embedded Software Engineers collaborate with systems, hardware, architecture, and other teams to design system-level software solutions and obtain information on performance requirements and interfaces.

Role Overview:

• Strong development experience with C/C++ and strong programming skills
• Hands-on development experience on Linux Embedded, Ubuntu, CentOS, and Debian platform software stacks
• Hands-on development experience with the Linux kernel, performance tuning, and board support packages
• Demonstrated hands-on architectural knowledge of end-to-end software flow for a typical embedded SoC
• Ability to navigate touchpoints in different stages of the software stack, examine technical issues
• Working knowledge and experience with second-stage bootloaders such as U-Boot, systemd-boot, and UEFI
• Strong deductive problem-solving skills, with effective verbal and written communication for cross-team collaboration
• Hands-on experience with the full software development life cycle including design, implementation, deployment, and support
• Practical enablement of industrial solutions with virtualization using KVM or other hypervisors is beneficial
• Strong networking concepts and systems programming experience is beneficial
• Real-time use‑case enablement with performance tuning for real‑time applications on Guest or Host OS is beneficial

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 6+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience.

Preferred Qualifications:

• 6+ years of experience with programming languages such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc.
• 8+ years of designing and leading real‑time embedded and industrial solutions with hands‑on experience
• Strong understanding of board support packages, hypervisors, RTOS, and OS concepts and fundamentals
• Strong understanding of Linux kernel and internals
• Knowledge of SoC systems and related concepts, including bring‑up
• Strong aptitude, fast learner, self‑motivated, and willing to work across a broad range of technology areas

Principal Duties and Responsibilities:

• Lead end‑to‑end software architecture, definition, and execution of IoT products running Linux Embedded and Ubuntu on Automotive SoCs
• Perform bring‑up and develop proof‑of‑concept IoT solutions
• Work across diverse technology areas to develop cutting‑edge features
• Ensure product deliverables are completed on time and meet expectations for functionality, stability, power, and performance.
• Engage with development partners to understand technical requirements, perform high‑level feasibility analysis, and collaborate with technology teams to deliver solutions
• Strong hands‑on programming role, with the majority of time spent writing and testing code.
• Candidate must be a self‑starter who can work independently without waiting for detailed instructions.
• Expected to take ownership of development tasks, including:
• Writing code
• Testing and debugging
• Approximately 80–90% of the work will involve coding.
