Firmware Engineer

Firmware Engineer

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop, test, and maintain embedded firmware for microcontrollers and embedded platforms.
  
• Collaborate with hardware teams to understand system architecture, hardware interfaces, and specifications.
  
• Write efficient, robust, and well-documented code in C/C++ for embedded systems.
  
• Implement device drivers and communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, USB, etc.).
  
• Debug and troubleshoot firmware issues using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers.
  
• Optimize firmware for power consumption, performance, and memory usage.
  
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to improving development processes.
  
• Work with cross-functional teams to integrate firmware with application software and hardware components.
  
• Develop and execute test plans and automated test scripts for firmware validation.
  
• Keep up-to-date with embedded systems trends and best practices.
  
• Document firmware design, implementation details, and test results.

Required Skills:

• Proven experience (X+ years) in firmware development for embedded systems.
  
• Strong proficiency in C and C++ programming languages.
  
• Experience with microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M, PIC, AVR, etc.) and embedded architectures.
  
• Good understanding of hardware interfaces and communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, USB).
  
• Hands-on experience with debugging tools like JTAG/SWD debuggers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
  
• Familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS) such as FreeRTOS, ThreadX, or similar.
  
• Knowledge of embedded development toolchains (GCC, Keil, IAR, etc.).
  
• Ability to read and interpret electronic schematics and datasheets.
  
• Experience with version control systems like Git.
  
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  
• Good communication skills for collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.
