Department Overview

As a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer, you will be a key contributor to our core product development. You will design, develop, and debug low-level software that interacts directly with hardware. We are looking for a candidate who thinks analytically, thrives in the "gray area" between hardware and software, and possesses the grit to solve deep-seated system bugs.


Job Description

Key Responsibilities:

  • Firmware Development: Design and implement robust, scalable software in Embedded C for Linux-based systems.

  • System Integration: Develop and maintain Linux kernel drivers and middleware components.

  • Expert Debugging: Use logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and GDB to identify and resolve complex timing issues and hardware-software bottlenecks.

  • Architecture & Design: Contribute to the architectural definitions of new features, ensuring efficient resource management (CPU, Memory, Power).

  • Hardware Interaction: Work closely with the hardware team to bring up new boards and validate peripheral communication.

Required Technical Skills

  • Experience: 5–8 years in embedded software development.

  • Core Languages: Mastery of Embedded C and shell scripting.

  • Operating Systems: Deep understanding of Linux Internals (kernel space, user space, device trees, and multitasking).

  • Communication Protocols: Hands-on experience with I2C, SPI, UART, and One-Wire.

  • Analytical Rigor: Strong ability to perform root-cause analysis on system-level failures.


Basic Requirements

Education & Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field.

  • Postgraduate degree is highly regarded.

Preferred "Plus" Skills

  • Experience with Hardware Design/Schematic Reading—knowing your way around a PCB is a major advantage.

  • Familiarity with Yocto Project or Buildroot.

  • Experience with wireless protocols (BLE, Wi-Fi)
