What is an Embedded Software Bare Metal job?

An Embedded Software Bare Metal job involves developing firmware for microcontrollers or processors without an operating system (OS). Engineers write low-level code to directly control hardware peripherals using languages like C or assembly. This role requires knowledge of memory management, real-time constraints, and debugging techniques. It is commonly used in applications such as automotive systems, industrial automation, and IoT devices where efficiency and deterministic behavior are critical.

What are common challenges faced when developing bare metal embedded software?

Bare metal embedded software engineers often encounter challenges such as limited memory and processing resources, real-time timing constraints, and troubleshooting hardware-software interactions without the safety net of an operating system. Debugging can be particularly complex, as it often relies on low-level tools and a deep understanding of both the code and the hardware. Close collaboration with hardware engineers is usually required to diagnose and resolve issues. Developing for a bare metal environment demands careful planning, proactive testing, and a precise approach to resource management to ensure stability and reliability of the final product.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Embedded Software Bare Metal position, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Embedded Software Bare Metal engineer, you need a strong background in low-level programming languages such as C/C++, thorough understanding of microcontroller architectures, and experience with hardware interfacing. Familiarity with tools like debuggers, oscilloscopes, version control systems, and protocols such as SPI, I2C, or UART is typical, and certifications in embedded systems or electronics are valuable assets. Excellent problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and strong communication skills help you collaborate effectively with hardware and engineering teams. These competencies ensure reliable, efficient code that operates directly on hardware, supporting mission-critical device functionality.

Job description

Team Description:

Join the Brain Interfaces Embedded Systems Team and be part of an elite team of engineers working on high-performance, safety-critical embedded systems for the next-generation brain-computer interfaces. You will have the opportunity to work closely with chip designers, electrical engineers, and software engineers on a small, fast-moving team.

Job Description and Responsibilities: 

We are looking for experienced, hands-on engineers who are interested in exploring what's possible in highly powered and latency-constrained environments. Firmware is the kernel of operation for the implant, and you have the chance to define and implement features that have a significant impact on the product's capabilities. As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will be expected to:

  • Own complex challenges from definition to solution
  • Utilize your ability to work cross functionally to deliver safety critical systems while considering power, radio, and thermal requirements
  • Take ownership of products and/or core features; from planning and design to execution and testing
  • Build on your fundamental understanding of hardware while contributing to bare-metal firmware
  • Embrace a fast-paced iterative environment that prioritizes shipping manufacturable solutions 

Note: The team is hiring embedded engineers at all levels, both junior and senior. What matters most is evidence of exceptional abilities and a drive to succeed.

Required Qualifications: 

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, electrical engineering, related field, or equivalent experience 
  • 1+ years of experience with embedded systems (including internships)
  • Proficient in embedded C or Rust
  • Ability to design bare-metal embedded systems in highly constrained environments
  • Strong Electrical Engineering fundamentals 
  • Signal processing fundamentals 
  • You find enormous challenges exciting and enjoy discovering and defining problems as much as solving them
  • You deliver. You may enjoy thoughtful conversations about problems and perfecting design, but in the end, you know that delivering reliable manufacturable solutions matters
  • You are a cross-disciplinary team member. You are excited to work with and learn from chip designers to neuroscientists

Preferred Qualifications: 

  • Experience with embedded stacks for ARM cores
  • Experience with safety-critical systems
  • Experience with FPGA development and testing
  • Experience with RF, BLE, TCP/IP stacks from a practical embedded perspective
  • Prior work or experience with applied cryptography and embedded systems security
