Key Responsibilities

Develop and maintain robust firmware for embedded systems using C/C++.
Design and implement drivers for a wide range of peripherals and optical components (SPI, I2C, UART, USB, GPIO).
Collaborate closely with hardware teams during schematic reviews, PCB bring-up, and hardware testing phases.
Integrate and control optical subsystems such as lasers, photodiodes, modulators, and high-speed ADCs.
Work within embedded Linux or RTOS environments to develop real-time, high-reliability applications.
Apply signal processing and digital filtering techniques for interpreting sensor and optical data.
Create automation and testing tools using scripting languages such as Python or Bash.
Conduct system-level testing, debugging, and optimisation to improve performance and stability.
Document firmware architecture, module interfaces, and standard operating/test procedures.
Support regulatory and compliance efforts, including EMC, CE, and general safety standards.
Contribute to continuous improvement and innovation in photonic/optical-based embedded solutions.
