Embedded Software Engineer — Hardware Bring-Up

ITW; EE. UU.; A distancia; USD 78.000 - 130.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

ITW is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to design, develop, test, and support embedded software for microcontroller-based products. You will bring up new hardware, implement low-level drivers, and collaborate with hardware, manufacturing and software teams to ensure robust, reliable solutions.

You should have strong C/C++, RTOS experience, and a track record of end-to-end software lifecycle work from concept through production, with hands-on debugging close to the hardware.

Formación

• Bachelor's degree in engineering (Software, Electrical, Computer Engineering, or related discipline required).
• Minimum of 4 years of relevant experience in embedded software development or related engineering roles.
• Proficiency in embedded programming languages (e.g., C/C++), version control (Git/Github) and real-time operating environments (FreeRTOS, MQX).
• Strong understanding of hardware/software integration and system level design.
• Ability to work independently across design, coding, testing, debugging, implementation, and documentation phases.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Experience supporting manufacturing, field teams, or customer applications is a plus.
• Demonstrated experience with new board bring-up, including debug of low-level hardware/software issues on prototype hardware.
• Ability to read and work from schematics, datasheets, reference manuals and interface documentation.
• Experience with embedded debug tools such as JTAG debuggers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and serial/protocol analysis tools.
• Experience integrating communication and connectivity technologies such as Bluetooth/BLE, UART, SPI, I2C, USB, or Ethernet.
• Quarterly travel to our Fairmont, MN facility, with the possibility of additional onsite visits depending on project-specific needs.

Responsabilidades

• Develop, code, test, and debug new embedded software or enhancements to existing software.
• Work from specifications with limited guidance to design and modify moderately complex software applications, tools, and utilities.
• Apply software design theories, engineering principles, and scientific methods to create robust, maintainable embedded solutions.
• Modify existing software packages to meet unique customer configurations and requirements.
• Validate successive software versions to ensure proper integration with system hardware.
• Bring up embedded software on new hardware platforms, including initialization and verification of microcontrollers, memory, clocks, interrupts, communication interfaces and peripheral devices.
• Develop, integrate and debug low-level drivers and board support software for interfaces such as UART, SPI, I2C, ADC, USB, Ethernet, GPIO, etc.
• Coordinate technical activities with cross-functional project teams and communicate software scope, status, risks, and technical issues clearly.
• Document designs, changes, and engineering analyses thoroughly and professionally.
• Develop and execute bring-up, integration, and regression test plans for new hardware and firmware.
• Diagnose issues related to startup behavior, communication failures, timing issues, memory, and interaction between firmware and hardware.
• Resolve software-related user complaints and respond to suggestions for improvements or enhancements.
• Assist in the development of software user manuals and technical documentation.
• Collaborate with technical staff to diagnose and resolve software issues.
