Embedded Developer

Job Title: Sr. Firmware Engineer - Embedded

Job Description

We are seeking a passionate Embedded C++ Developer with 46 years of experience in memory-aware embedded application development. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in developing Human Machine Interface (HMI) applications for real-time systems using C++, with a strong understanding of embedded constraints, OS abstraction, and high-quality software design.

This role goes beyond typical application-level C++ development, it demands deep understanding of embedded system design, memory management, and cross-platform abstraction, ensuring code runs reliably across FreeRTOS and bare-metal environments.

Roles & Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) for embedded systems running on FreeRTOS or bare metal.
• Implement UI logic using C/C++ frameworks tailored for constrained embedded targets.
• Architect and implement abstraction layers to decouple high-level application logic from hardware-specific modules.
• Develop efficient, reusable, and reliable C++ code that meets memory, performance, and real-time constraints.
• Conduct unit testing and embedded smoke testing using mocking and stubs for validation in non-hardware environments.
• Analyze and optimize memory usage, including static/dynamic allocations and stack/heap management.
• Collaborate with firmware, hardware, and QA teams to integrate and validate features across layers.
• Ensure code quality, documentation, and adherence to embedded coding standards
• Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and maintain technical documentation for long-term maintainability.
• Continuously evaluate new embedded UI frameworks, testing tools, and optimization techniques to improve efficiency.
• Write and maintain comprehensive documentation for new and existing code.
• Follow secure coding guidelines and ensure compliance with industry safety standards (e.g., MISRA C++, CERT C++).
• Implement defensive programming and robust error handling to ensure system reliability.
• Participate in security reviews and assist in threat modeling for embedded applications.
• Conduct static/dynamic code analysis to ensure code safety, memory correctness, and compliance.
• Contribute to a safety-compliant development lifecycle, ensuring traceability across design, implementation, and testing.
• Ensure firmware is secure-by-design, with emphasis on data integrity, access control, and reliable execution under constraint

Required Skills:

• Strong expertise in Embedded C++ with focus on memory-aware, low-latency, and deterministic systems.
• Experience in HMI development for FreeRTOS or bare-metal systems.
• Deep understanding of RTOS concepts, task management, inter-task communication, and timing constraints.
• Proven ability to design and develop abstraction layers and hardware interface modules.
• Proficiency with data structures and algorithms optimized for limited memory environments.
• Strong knowledge of memory management, stack/heap optimization, and resource monitoring.
• Experience with unit testing frameworks and mock-based testing in embedded environments.
• Solid understanding of embedded toolchains, cross-compilation, and build systems (CMake, Make).
• Good understanding of version control systems (GitHub/GitLab).
• Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and documentation skills.   

Desired skills:

• Common Industrial Protocol Familiarity – EtherNet/IP
• Experience in peripheral driver development and integration (SPI, I2C, UART, etc.).
• Exposure to Bluetooth or NFC stacks.
• Knowledge of Python for scripting, testing, or build automation.
• Understanding of UI/UX principles for embedded displays.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab Runner, TeamCity).
• Familiarity with embedded test automation and developer validation workflows.
• Knowledge of code quality tools (Static analysis, MISRA compliance
• Awareness of functional safety and cybersecurity standards (ISO 26262, IEC 61508, IEC 62443).
