You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to enable scalable, robust, and efficient embedded software development across a variety of platforms. Responsibilities: Develop and maintain bootloaders, device drivers, BSPs, and low-level middleware. Build and manage embedded build systems (Make, CMake, Yocto, etc.). Develop and optimize hardware abstraction layers (HAL) and startup code. Support hardware bring-up for new platforms (ARM Cortex-M, Cortex-A series, etc.). Implement and maintain firmware update and diagnostic mechanisms. Ensure real-time performance, portability, and reliability in infrastructure code. Collaborate with system engineers to integrate RTOS and third-party middleware. Perform Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), and Hardware Testing. Participate in architecture design, code reviews, and documentation efforts. Stay current with embedded industry standards and best practices. Must-Have Skills: Bachelor s or Master s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, Aerospace Engineering, or related fields. 0-5 years of experience in embedded systems development. Strong Assembly, C/C++ programming skills for embedded targets. Solid understanding of microcontroller architectures and communication interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB, Ethernet). Hands-on experience with bootloaders, startup code, or bare-metal firmware. Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) such as FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or VxWorks etc. Experience with build automation tools (Make, CMake, Yocto). Familiarity with embedded debugging tools (e.g., JTAG, SWD, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers). Understanding of version control systems (e.g., Git). Practical knowledge and experience with Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing. Nice-to-Have Skills: Exposure to secure boot, encryption, and secure firmware update mechanisms. Knowledge of safety-critical software standards (DO-178C, ISO 26262, MISRA-C). Scripting experience (Python, Bash) for build and testing automation. Experience with MATLAB/Simulink for system modeling. Exposure to hardware schematic review and basic troubleshooting. Benefits: Opportunities for professional development and training. Work on cutting-edge projects in aerospace and UAV technology. Flexible work hours and a supportive team environment.
