What is an Intel Embedded Systems job?

An Intel Embedded Systems job involves designing, developing, and optimizing embedded systems using Intel’s hardware and software platforms. Engineers in this role work with microcontrollers, processors, and FPGA solutions to create efficient and reliable embedded applications. They often program in languages like C/C++ and work with real-time operating systems (RTOS). Responsibilities may include debugging, performance tuning, and ensuring system security. These roles are commonly found in industries such as automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and IoT.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Intel Embedded Systems position, and why are they important?

To thrive in Intel Embedded Systems, a strong background in embedded C/C++ programming, microprocessor architectures, and electronics is essential, usually supported by a degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science. Familiarity with Intel platforms, real-time operating systems (RTOS), hardware debugging tools, and industry certifications (such as Embedded Systems Professional) will set you apart. Analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective teamwork are valuable soft skills for this role. These skills are crucial for designing, testing, and maintaining reliable embedded solutions aligned with Intel's high technical standards.

What are some typical challenges faced in an Intel Embedded Systems role?

Professionals in Intel Embedded Systems roles often encounter challenges such as optimizing software and hardware performance under strict resource constraints, integrating new features with legacy systems, and ensuring real-time reliability. Rapidly evolving technology demands continual learning and adaptation, especially when working with next-generation Intel chipsets and toolchains. Close collaboration with hardware engineers, software developers, and quality assurance teams is common, requiring strong communication and problem-solving skills. These challenges offer excellent opportunities for professional growth and hands-on learning in a dynamic, innovative environment.

FPGA SoC Embedded Engineer (RTOS, Xilinx/Intel)

E-Space

Saratoga, CA • On-site

$120K - $220K/yr

Full-time

Medical, PTO

Re-posted 10 days ago

Job description

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you've come to the right place!

E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.

We're intentional, we're unapologetically curious and we're 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.

We are seeking an embedded engineer to develop real-time software on advanced SoC platforms. This role involves building firmware, working with RTOS-based systems, and interacting closely with FPGA and hardware components. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with Xilinx or Intel (Altera) SoC FPGA platforms and is comfortable working across the hardware/software boundary.
Responsibilities:

Develop embedded firmware in C/C++ for SoC systems
Work with real-time operating systems and multi-threaded applications
Implement low-level drivers and hardware interfaces
Debug system-level issues involving hardware and software interaction
Interface with FPGA designs, including register access, control paths, and data movement
Collaborate closely with FPGA and hardware teams

Qualifications:
Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
Experience with at least one real-time operating system (mandatory)
Strong C/C++ programming skills
Hands-on experience with Xilinx or Intel (Altera) SoC FPGA platforms (mandatory)
Understanding of interrupts, scheduling, and embedded systems
Preferred Skills:
Experience with Zephyr
Familiarity with Embedded Linux
Experience with JTAG or low-level debugging tools
Knowledge of hardware/software interfaces (e.g., memory-mapped I/O, DMA)
Knowledge of 5G PHY and MAC layer concepts (desirable)
What Success Looks Like:
Ability to build stable real-time applications on FPGA SoC platforms
Clearly understands the hardware/software boundary
Debugs efficiently across system layers
Executes effectively and adapts quickly
This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office.  The target base pay for this position is $120,000 - $220,000 annually.  The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. 
 
We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used-so we're looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that's your experience - then we'll be immediately wow-ed.
 
E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.

Why E-Space is right for you:

As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in driving our success.  Our team members have a strong sense of dedication and responsibility; this includes a strong commitment to our mission to create an entirely new suite of global capabilities to improve lives, business efficiencies and build a smarter planet. This means that there will be times when extra hours, including nights and weekends, may be needed to meet critical deadlines and mission goals.  In return, we offer a dynamic work environment with opportunities for professional growth and development and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a high-growth industry.  

We want you to make the most of your journey at E-Space. That's why we support and invest in the physical, emotional and financial well-being of our team members and their families. Some of what you can expect when working at E-Space:

An opportunity to really make a difference
Sustainability at our core
Fair and honest workplace
Innovative thinking is encouraged
Competitive salaries
Continuous learning and development
Health and wellness care options
Financial solutions for the future
Optional legal services (US only)
Paid holidays
Paid time off
