What is an RTOS?

An RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) job typically involves developing, optimizing, and maintaining real-time embedded systems that require precise timing and responsiveness. Professionals in this role work with RTOS platforms such as FreeRTOS, VxWorks, or RTEMS to design software for applications like automotive systems, industrial automation, aerospace, and medical devices. Key responsibilities include real-time task scheduling, memory management, debugging, and ensuring system stability under strict timing constraints. Strong proficiency in C/C++, embedded systems programming, and knowledge of hardware-software interaction are essential for this role.

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

To thrive as a Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) Engineer, you typically need a solid background in embedded systems, C/C++ programming, and a degree in computer engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field. Proficiency with industry-standard RTOS platforms (such as FreeRTOS, VxWorks, or QNX), debugging tools, and possibly certifications like Embedded Systems Professional are often valuable. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication abilities help set top candidates apart in collaborative development environments. These qualifications are crucial for delivering reliable, time-sensitive software solutions that power critical devices and systems.

What are some common challenges faced by RTOS engineers in their daily work?

RTOS Engineers often encounter challenges such as optimizing system performance under strict real-time constraints, diagnosing hard-to-reproduce timing bugs, and integrating software with hardware components. Collaborating across teams with hardware engineers and software developers is essential to ensure seamless functionality. Additionally, maintaining system stability while adding new features or updates can require careful planning and rigorous testing. Navigating these complexities helps experts in this field build robust embedded solutions trusted in industries like automotive, aerospace, and medical devices.

What can you do with RTOS?

A job involving RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) typically involves developing, implementing, and maintaining embedded systems that require precise timing and reliability. RTOS professionals work on tasks such as real-time task scheduling, device driver development, and system optimization for applications like robotics, automotive systems, and industrial automation. Knowledge of programming languages like C or C++ and familiarity with hardware interfaces are essential skills in this role.

Job description

Senior Embedded Systems Developer with Zephyr RTOS IRC297403

We are looking to add a Senior Embedded Systems Developer (Zephyr RTOS) to our team.

Function: Software Product Engineering

Experience: 5-10 years

Location: Poland

Skills: Embedded Software, Git, Linux, SQL, ZEPHYR OS, Zephyr RTOS

In this role, you will be part of a distributed team that implements the core firmware for an innovative e‑bike ecosystem. The work is focused on creating intelligent, low‑level software that runs on resource‑constrained, connected embedded devices, enabling a mobile application to seamlessly connect to, control, and monitor the e‑bikes.

It is a dynamic environment where you participate throughout the complete software development lifecycle, including embedded design and architectural decisions within the Zephyr ecosystem. You will focus on software quality and process optimization through peer code reviews, continuous integration toolchains, and hardware‑level automation.

You will collaborate directly with software engineers, hardware experts, and client leaders.

Requirements
  • 4+ years of relevant experience in embedded software development and firmware engineering.
  • Deep hands‑on experience with Zephyr RTOS (including devicetree configuration, Kconfig, kernel services, driver development, and subsystem integration).
  • Proficiency in embedded C/C++ and modular firmware design.
  • Experience interacting with external hardware (HW), microcontrollers, and communication protocols (e.g., BLE, CAN bus, UART, SPI, I2C) – crucial for e‑bike connectivity and power management.
  • Solid understanding of software architecture, low‑level memory management, and hardware‑agnostic design principles.
  • Experience with CI/CD tools for embedded workflows, specifically GitHub Actions (automated pipelines, compilation, and hardware verification).
  • SQL and database knowledge (for managing local device data storage, telemetry logs, or configuration profiles).
  • Openness to coaching, mentoring, and growing team members in Zephyr RTOS engineering.
  • Excellent command of English with strong communication, assertiveness, and task‑prioritization skills.
Job Responsibilities
  • Firmware Architecture & Development: Analyze system requirements, design software features, and implement robust, modular firmware using Zephyr RTOS for resource‑constrained devices.
  • Hardware Integration: Implement service‑level integration, custom device drivers, and wireless/wired network stacks to link the e‑bike’s internal hardware components with the external ecosystem.
  • Process Optimization: Define and implement processes that streamline embedded development and continuous integration work on the project.
  • CI/CD Engineering: Integrate firmware compilation pipelines and automated binary verification workflows into GitHub Actions.
  • Mentorship & Leadership: Offer coaching, mentoring, and technical guidance to team members; participate in architecture alignment sessions with clients and stakeholders.
  • Code Quality & Review: Participate in code reviews, ensure adherence to rigorous embedded standards, and contribute to core framework enhancements and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Work closely with mobile application developers, hardware engineers, and product managers to ensure seamless end‑to‑end product functionality.
