Embedded Software Engineer – RTOS

Job Title: Embedded Software Engineer – RTOS

Experience: 3 to 7 years

Location: Bangalore/Hybrid

Employment Type: Contract

About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated Embedded Software Engineer with strong experience in RTOS-based firmware development. The ideal candidate will work on the design, development, and optimization of embedded software for real-time applications in domains such as automotive, industrial automation, healthcare devices, or IoT systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and test embedded software using Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) such as FreeRTOS, QNX, VxWorks, ThreadX, or RTEMS.
• Develop low-level drivers, board support packages (BSPs), and hardware abstraction layers.
• Integrate and optimize embedded applications on microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M/A, PIC, DSPs, etc.).
• Work closely with hardware engineers to ensure seamless hardware-software integration.
• Perform debugging using tools like JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
• Develop and maintain documentation for code, interfaces, and test procedures.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, QA, and systems) for complete product lifecycle support.
• Ensure adherence to safety-critical and real-time constraints.

Technical Skills Required

• Strong proficiency in C/C++ programming for embedded systems.
• Hands-on experience with at least one RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, VxWorks, QNX, ThreadX, etc.).
• Understanding of real-time scheduling, interrupt handling, multithreading, and task synchronization.
• Experience with communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet, Modbus, etc.).
• Familiarity with embedded toolchains (Keil, IAR, GCC, or similar).
• Experience with version control systems (Git, SVN).
• Knowledge of memory management, bootloaders, and firmware upgrade mechanisms.
• Exposure to unit testing and static code analysis tools.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with bare-metal programming as well as RTOS-based applications.
• Exposure to Linux kernel or device driver development.
• Familiarity with IoT connectivity stacks (MQTT, BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, etc.).
• Knowledge of safety-critical standards (MISRA, ISO 26262, IEC 62304) is an added advantage.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical, Computer Science, or related discipline.

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Good communication and documentation skills.
• Self-driven and capable of working both independently and within teams.
• Passion for continuous learning and innovation in embedded technologies.

Why Join Us?

• Work on cutting-edge real-time embedded systems used across industries.
• Opportunity to innovate and contribute to high-impact products.
