  • Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware for microcontrollers and SoCs

  • Develop and debug firmware on bare-metal and RTOS platforms (e.g., Zephyr)

  • Work with embedded Linux systems, including kernel configuration and user-space applications

  • Implement and optimize hardware drivers (I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, ADC/DAC, PCIe, etc.)

  • Develop and validate hardware/firmware interfaces and bring-up new hardware platforms

  • Design and implement low-power management strategies

  • Collaborate with hardware, systems, and software teams

  • Perform board bring-up, debugging, and system validation

  • Troubleshoot system-level issues

  • Contribute to architecture decisions and documentation


Skills/Abilities:

  • Experience with low-power embedded system design preferred

  • Familiarity with bootloaders, secure firmware development, and over-the-air (OTA) update processes preferred

  • Experience with embedded Linux build systems such as Yocto and/or Buildroot preferred

  • Proficiency in Python or other scripting languages for automation and development support preferred

  • Knowledge of wireless communication technologies, including BLE, Wi-Fi, and Cellular connectivity preferred

  • High level of attention to detail and commitment to quality

  • Self-motivated with the ability to manage priorities independently

  • Strong verbal and written communication skills

Education and Experience:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in relevant field

  • 3+ years of experience in embedded firmware development

  • Strong proficiency in C/C++

  • Experience with embedded Linux, Zephyr RTOS, and bare-metal development

  • Experience writing hardware device drivers

  • Understanding of microcontroller and processor architectures

  • Familiarity with SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, USB, Ethernet

  • Experience with Git and debugging tools

  • Experience in design and optimizing of low-level C/C++ embedded software for GNSS/GPS tracking systems
