Principal Firmware Engineer

As an Embedded Software Developer, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing embedded and system-level applications using C/C++ in Linux. Your role will involve implementing efficient data structures to enhance system scalability and throughput and developing robust Socket Programming interfaces for secure inter-process communication across distributed systems. You will be building multi-threaded applications that meet real-time performance requirements and developing on DEOS for high-reliability applications. Collaboration with cross-functional teams to deliver platform-specific solutions across diverse hardware setups will be a key aspect of your job. Additionally, you will design and implement graphical user interfaces (GUIs) using QT for embedded or desktop applications. Conducting unit testing, debugging, and performance analysis to address issues early in the development cycle will also be part of your responsibilities. Your qualifications will include a Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, Electronics, or a related field, along with 9-10 years of hands-on experience in embedded software development. Strong proficiency in C/C++ for embedded platforms, experience with microcontrollers and real-time systems, and knowledge of peripherals such as UART, SPI, QSPI, I2C, and DDR are essential for this role. You should have a background in unit, integration, and system-level testing in embedded projects, experience with Ethernet network development and protocols, and familiarity with CI/CD tools like Bamboo and Jenkins. Experience with Linux Kernel, FreeRTOS, Yocto, Xilinx SDK, and CMake build systems, as well as proficiency in Python for scripting and automation, are required. Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, are essential for collaborating effectively with team members. It would be beneficial to have experience with GitHub, JIRA, Confluence for version control and agile collaboration, Docker for containerized development environments, and an understanding of Secure Bootloaders, Application Encryption, and Code Signing. Experience in Data Distribution Service (DDS)-based systems is a plus. In this role, you will troubleshoot system-level issues in distributed, multi-threaded environments, participate in code reviews, and ensure adherence to best coding standards and practices. Your expertise will contribute to the successful development of embedded software solutions that meet high-performance and reliability requirements.,
