Resumo da oferta

Glydways seeks a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to own critical firmware domains for our safety-critical vehicle systems. You will collaborate with hardware and software teams to shape the embedded platform, leveraging MCUs, sensors, and main compute to deliver reliable, production-ready firmware.

You will develop and optimize RTOS-based applications, manage bootloaders and drivers, and drive automated testing and rigorous verification.

Qualificações

• 7+ years of embedded software experience in production systems.
• Experience with safety-critical or highly reliable platforms (automotive, aerospace, etc.).
• Expert-level C/C++ for embedded systems.
• Experience with RTOS environments (PX5 or similar).
• Knowledge of SPI, UART, I2C, CAN, TCP/UDP.
• Experience with sensor and compute platform bring-up.
• Experience with ISO 26262 or similar standards is valued.
• Comfort with hardware debugging and test equipment.

Responsabilidades

• Own critical firmware domains and drive cross-functional projects.
• Design, prototype, build, and test production vehicle firmware for safety-critical systems.
• Develop and optimize applications in RTOS environments.
• Define and evolve communication architecture between MCUs, sensors, and compute.
• Lead board and SoC bring-up and debugging.
• Define automated testing frameworks and harnesses.
• Mentor engineers and set standards across the team.

Descrição da oferta de emprego

• The Embedded Software team is where the vehicle comes to life. We write and load the firmware that turns raw hardware—sensor kits, custom boards, and main compute—into a reliable, safety-critical machine
• Because our software touches nearly every subsystem, we collaborate with engineers from across the company and get hands‑on with the newest hardware in the building
• As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you will own critical firmware domains, lead complex cross‑functional projects, and help shape our embedded platform and engineering best practices
• This is firmware that carries real passengers—on a Glydways vehicle, reliability is a safety requirement, not just a performance goal, and the code you ship is part of the safety case
• Design, prototype, build, and test production vehicle firmware for safety‑critical systems
• Develop and optimize applications in RTOS environments, tuning for reliability, latency, throughput, memory footprint, and power on resource‑constrained platforms
• Own and evolve the communication architecture between MCUs, sensors, and main compute, across both standard and custom protocols (SPI, UART, I2C, CAN, TCP/UDP, and more)
• Lead bring‑up and debugging for new boards and SoCs—bootloaders, drivers, and low-level diagnostics—partnering with electrical engineers and software developers to take new sensor and compute platforms from prototype to production
• Define and build automated testing frameworks and harnesses at the unit, integration, and system levels alongside test and platform engineers
• Mentor other embedded engineers, give thorough code reviews, and help set engineering standards, tools, and best practices across the team

• Demonstrated speed and size optimization for resource‑constrained platforms
• Experience deploying firmware to multi‑device systems or vehicles in a power‑safe, fault‑tolerant way
• Strong command of communication protocols, from low level (SPI, UART, I2C, CAN) to higher level (TCP/UDP)
• Expert‑level C and/or C++ for embedded systems; additional languages and tooling are a plus
• Experience developing on RTOS environments (e.g., PX5 or other POSIX/pthreads‑based real‑time OSes such as embedded Linux with pthreads, QNX, VxWorks, or RTEMS)
• Experience with MCU bootloaders, device drivers, and new board or SoC bring‑up
• Solid understanding of the embedded software development life cycle—version control, code review, CI, and automated testing
• Experience with safety‑critical systems and processes (e.g., ISO 26262 or similar standards) is highly valued
• Typically 7+ years developing embedded software for production systems, including substantial work on safety‑critical or highly reliable platforms (automotive, aerospace, medical, industrial, robotics, etc.)
• If you’re excited about this work but don’t check every box, we’d still love to hear from you. We know the best candidates don’t always match every line of a job description
• Experience in automotive and/or transit domains
• Experience with automotive‑grade safety MCUs — ideally the NXP S32K3 family, or comparable lockstep/ASIL‑rated parts (e.g., Infineon AURIX, TI TMS570)
• Experience with deterministic timing and networking, such as NTP, PTP, or time‑sensitive networking (TSN)
• Familiarity with kernel internals and low‑level OS concepts
• Comfort with electronics test equipment and hardware debugging (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, etc.)
• Experience with CAN tooling and DBC‑based workflows
• Scripting experience (e.g., Python) for test automation and tooling
