- Integrate and test embedded software on custom hardware platforms.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, cloud, and mobile teams to ensure seamless connectivity and performance.
- Troubleshoot low-level software issues, including bootloaders, kernel modules, and device drivers.
- Write and maintain technical documentation, test plans, and version-controlled source code.
Requirements
- Proven experience (3+ years) in embedded software development.
- Strong proficiency in C/C++ for resource-constrained systems.
- Hands-on experience with Yocto Project and embedded Linux environments.
- Good understanding of networking concepts and protocols in IoT applications.
