Job description

We are seeking a Senior Embedded Systems Software Engineer with strong experience designing and developing application-layer software for complex real-time embedded systems.

The ideal candidate will be able to architect, design, and implement system-level control software, control logic, state machines, and sequencing. Experience in industries such as medical devices, automotive, avionics, robotics, rail, or industrial automation is highly desirable.

This is a system-level embedded software engineering role, not a web development, motor-control-only, or BMS-control-only position.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience developing embedded control software for complex real-time systems
• Strong proficiency in Embedded C/C++
• Strong understanding of real-time software architecture
• Experience designing system-level control logic, state machines, and sequencing
• Hands-on experience with CAN, SPI, and Ethernet
• Experience with MATLAB/Simulink and model-based design
• Experience integrating and debugging software across hardware, firmware, and system boundaries
• Strong analytical and system-level problem-solving skills
• Experience developing application-layer software for embedded systems

Must-Have Skills

• Embedded C/C++
• Real-Time Embedded Systems
• CAN, SPI, Ethernet
• MATLAB/Simulink and Model-Based Design

Nice-to-Have Skills

• TI C2000 / NXP MCUs
• DO-178C
• ARP4754A / ARP4761
• ISO 26262
• ARINC 825 / ARINC 664
• SIL/HIL Testing
• Aerospace, Automotive, Medical Devices, Robotics, Rail, or Industrial Automation experience

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, design, and implement application-layer embedded software.
• Develop system-level control logic, state machines, sequencing, and real-time control functions.
• Develop and integrate embedded software using C/C++.
• Design software architectures for complex real-time embedded systems.
• Develop and integrate communication interfaces including CAN, SPI, and Ethernet.
