Job description

Summary The Engineer 2, Embedded Software supports the design, development, and testing of embedded software and hardware systems. This role supports projects of moderate technical complexity. The ideal candidate will have a moderate understanding of firmware development on embedded devices and will work closely with cross-functional teams to design and develop innovative embedded products.

  • Support the design and development of embedded systems, including firmware, device drivers, and hardware interfaces throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
  • Collaborate with electrical engineers to define system architecture, select components, and optimize system performance.
  • Conduct preliminary analysis, simulations, and testing to validate designs.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including manufacturing, quality, and procurement to ensure project success.
  • Prepare, communicate and monitor moderate technical complexity project plans.
  • Prepare and present critical technical reports and documentation.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve moderate firmware issues during design and manufacturing.
  • Moderate knowledge of software development in C/C++ principles and practices.
  • Ability to develop low-level firmware using embedded systems development tools, debuggers, and software development kits (SDKs) without consistent assistance from senior developers.
  • Knowledge of how to implement communication protocols (e.g., UART, SPI, I2C, Ethernet) and bus architectures (e.g., USB, PCIe, RS-485) on embedded devices.
  • Proficiency in using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other debugging tools.
  • Proficiency in reading and interpreting electrical schematics of low-medium complexity.
  • Proficiency in version control systems for source code management (e.g., Git, SVN).
  • Proficiency with issue-tracking tools and Agile practices.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and lead technical teams.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and ability to build working relationships with team members and stakeholders.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Proven experience in embedded systems development, including firmware development, hardware integration, and software optimization.
  • Minimum 5 years of experience developing embedded software.
