Responsibilities:

• Design implement and deliver firmware features end-to-end in C/C for bare-metal and embedded Linux platforms with limited supervision.
• Own small firmware subsystems or components including their testing documentation and maintenance.
• Develop integrate and debug device drivers for peripherals such as sensors radios storage and communication interfaces (I²C SPI UART USB CAN Ethernet).
• Perform board bring-up tasks independently including bootloader configuration peripheral initialization and hardware validation for known platform variants.
• Implement and tune interrupt handlers timers and low-level scheduling mechanisms to achieve reliable deterministic behavior. Use debugging and measurement tools oscilloscopes logic analyzers JTAG/SWD protocol analyzers to diagnose and resolve hardware/firmware interaction issues independently. Collaborate with hardware engineers to review schematics and identify firmware-relevant design considerations.
• Contribute to board support packages (BSPs) bootloader configuration and OS integration for embedded Linux and RTOS-based systems.
• Implement error handling logging and diagnostic capabilities for field debugging.
• Write and maintain unit and integration tests for owned components using test harnesses and hardware-in-the-loop setups where appropriate.
• Participate actively in design discussions proposing approaches identifying tradeoffs and asking clarifying questions.
• Conduct peer code reviews with attention to correctness performance maintainability and adherence to team standards.
• Break down requirements into technical tasks and estimate work for sprint planning.
• Participate fully in Scrum ceremonies and contribute to continuous improvement of team processes.

• Professional experience developing embedded firmware for production or near-productionhardware platforms.
• Solid proficiency in C/C for embedded systems including practical understanding ofmemory management concurrency and real-time constraints.
• Experience developing and debugging device drivers for common embedded interfaces(GPIO I²C SPI UART USB).
• Hands-on experience with at least one microcontroller family (ARM Cortex-M RISC-V etc.)and familiarity with bare-metal development patterns.
• Exposure to an RTOS (FreeRTOS Zephyr ThreadX) or embedded Linux distribution (YoctoBuildroot).
• Practical experience with low-level debugging tools oscilloscopes logic analyzersJTAG/SWD debuggers.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and understand hardware behavior relevantto firmware development.
• Understanding of real-time systems concepts including interrupt handling priority inversionand timing constraints.
• Experience with Git-based workflows code review practices and CI/CD tooling for firmwarebuilds.
• Experience working in an agile/Scrum environment as part of a cross-functional team.
• Good written and verbal communication skills for design discussions documentation andcode reviews.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with wireless communication stacks (Wi-Fi Bluetooth/BLE LTE proprietary RF) inan embedded context.
• Experience with Nordic Semiconductor BLE devices and SDK or similar BLE chipsetdevelopment environments.
• Familiarity with Android debugging tools (ADB logcat) for cross-device BLE communicationdebugging; exposure to Android NDK for native- layer integration.
• Exposure to secure boot cryptographic libraries or secure firmware update mechanisms.
• Experience developing firmware for battery-powered or low-power devices including basicpower state management.
• Familiarity with manufacturing test factory programming or calibration processes.
• Experience with scripting (Python) for test automation tooling or build orchestration.
• Exposure to embedded audio/video capture or camera subsystems.
• Experience integrating embedded devices with cloud services via MQTT HTTP or gRPC.
• Experience with rugged field-deployed hardware or public-safety devices.
• Familiarity with Java or JVM-based languages for companion services device managementapplications or test automation tooling.
