Role Overview:

As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and testing low-level software for their next-generation embedded platforms. You’ll work on bare-metal systems, close to the hardware, with an emphasis on performance, reliability, and resource efficiency.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement embedded software in C/C++ for microcontroller-based systems (ARM Cortex, STM32, etc.)
• Develop bare-metal applications without an RTOS or OS layer
• Work closely with hardware engineers to bring up new boards and peripherals
• Debug low-level firmware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and in-circuit debuggers
• Write and maintain clear, well-documented, and testable code
• Contribute to system architecture decisions and code reviews
• Support integration, testing, and validation of embedded systems

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Computer Engineering, or similar
• 3+ years of hands-on experience in embedded software development
• Strong proficiency in C and C++ for low-level applications
• Solid experience with bare-metal programming (no OS)
• Good understanding of microcontroller architectures (e.g., ARM Cortex-M, AVR, PIC)
• Familiarity with hardware schematics and debugging tools (JTAG, UART, SPI, I2C)
• Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git)

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience with real-time systems or interrupt-driven programming
• Exposure to low-power design techniques
• Knowledge of communication protocols (CAN, Modbus, BLE, etc.)
• Understanding of basic electronics and digital circuit design

What's on Offer:

• A chance to work on innovative products in a technically challenging environment
• A collaborative and supportive team culture
