Job Description:

We are looking for an experienced C++ Software Engineer to help design, develop, and implement software solutions that integrate seamlessly with a variety of hardware systems in Linux-based environments. You will work closely with hardware engineers to ensure that our software performs optimally in resource-constrained environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop, test, and maintain C++ software for hardware integration on Linux-based systems, ensuring compatibility with embedded systems, microcontrollers, and hardware components.
• Implement device drivers, libraries, and low-level code that interface with hardware components such as sensors, actuators, communication protocols, and peripherals on Linux platforms.
• Optimize software for performance in real-time and resource-constrained hardware environments.
• Contribute to system-level architecture and ensure seamless integration between hardware, software, and operating system components.

Required Skills:

• Proven experience in C++ programming with a strong emphasis on hardware integration and embedded systems.
• Experience working with Linux-based systems and development tools (e.g. GCC, Makefiles, CMake, gdb, etc.).
• Experience with multithreading programming in C++.
• Experience with hardware communication protocols (e.g. I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, etc.).
• Experience with socket programming (TCP/UDP).
• Knowledge with version control systems (e.g. Git).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with FPGA or ASIC development and integration.
• Understanding of testing frameworks and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) methodologies.
• Knowledge of containerization technologies (e.g. Docker) and virtualization.
• Experience working with embedded Linux distributions (e.g. Yocto, Buildroot, OpenEmbedded).

Candidate must be eligible to work in the EU.

Employment condition: Full-time, 40 hours per week.
