As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you will be responsible for:

• Designing, developing, integrating, and maintaining embedded firmware and software solutions for industrial measurement products.
• Translating system and product requirements into robust, maintainable software architectures and designs.
• Collaborating closely with hardware, FPGA, systems, and test engineering teams throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Driving hardware‑software integration, system validation, performance optimization, debugging, and root‑cause resolution activities from prototype development through production release.
• Participating in technical design reviews and peer code reviews to ensure software quality and maintainability.
• Developing and executing software verification strategies, including unit testing, integration testing, and system validation.
• Mentoring junior engineers and promoting software development best practices within the engineering team.
• Promoting and supporting Agile development practices, sprint planning, estimation, and continuous improvement initiatives to support predictable and high‑quality software delivery.
• Evaluating technical tradeoffs, managing software‑related technical risks, and driving informed engineering decisions throughout the product lifecycle.

• BS/MS in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 8+ years of embedded software development experience.
• Advanced proficiency in C/C++ programming.
• Strong experience with embedded operating systems, RTOS concepts, and real‑time software development.
• Strong understanding of interrupt‑driven software, concurrency, memory management, and deterministic real‑time system behavior.
• Experience developing low‑level embedded software, including device drivers, board support packages (BSPs), middleware, and hardware abstraction layers (HALs).
• Experience interfacing with embedded peripherals and communication protocols, including SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, GPIO, DMA, ADC, and DAC subsystems.
• Experience with ARM Cortex‑A/R/M processor architectures, including AMD/Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC platforms or similar heterogeneous hardware/software systems.
• Experience with board bring‑up, processor initialization, and hardware validation activities.
• Experience working in Agile development environments and applying modern software engineering practices, including source control, code reviews, automated testing, continuous integration, and software quality processes.

• Experience with FPGA‑based systems and FPGA/software integration.
• Experience with FreeRTOS, VxWorks, ThreadX, Micrium, or similar RTOS platforms.
• Experience with secure boot, trusted execution environments, cybersecurity, and system hardening techniques.
• Experience with embedded Linux and bare‑metal software development.
• Experience with DSP concepts and embedded signal processing techniques for real‑time filtering, detection, and measurement applications.
• Experience with modern development workflows, including CI/CD pipelines, peer reviews, static analysis, software quality metrics, and configuration management practices using tools such as Git, Rally, and related development toolchains.
• Experience in industrial instrumentation, sensing, flow measurement, aerospace, defense, or other high‑reliability environments.
• Prior experience serving as a technical lead, architect, or engineering subject matter expert.
• Experience with IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM (EWARM), JTAG debuggers, and embedded software debugging tools.
