Job Summary

highly skilled Embedded Firmware Developer

Core Responsibilities

• Develop

  bare-metal firmware

  for

  STM32-based flight controllers

  (no OS dependency).
• Write

  efficient, low-latency control code

  for UAV stabilization and navigation.
• Implement

  sensor fusion algorithms

  (IMU, GPS, Barometer) using

  Kalman Filters, Madgwick, or complementary filters

  .
• Design and optimize

  flight control algorithms (PID, adaptive control, cascaded loops)

  .
• Develop

  register-level drivers

  for

  SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, PWM, and timers

  .
• Work closely with hardware engineers to

  debug and optimize PCB designs

  for flight controllers.
• Conduct

  real-time performance tuning

  (interrupt latency, DMA optimizations, loop timing).
• Perform

  hardware testing

  using

  oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and SWD/JTAG debuggers

  .
• Ensure

  deterministic behavior

  in flight-critical code (no dynamic allocation, minimal ISR jitter).

Must-Have Skills (Bare Metal Focus)

Expert in STM32 bare-metal programming

Strong C programming

Sensor fusion experience

UAV flight dynamics understanding

Low-level peripheral driver development

Debugging skills

Knowledge of ESC protocols

Secondary Skills (RTOS is a Plus, but Not Primary)

FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or other RTOS

PX4/ArduPilot

PCB design considerations

Education & Experience

• B.E/B.Tech/M.E/M.Tech in Electronics/Electrical/Aerospace Engineering or related field.

• 3+ years of bare-metal embedded development

  , preferably in

  UAVs, robotics, or avionics

  .

• GitHub/Portfolio

  demonstrating

  STM32 bare-metal projects

  (flight controllers preferred).
