A Melbourne based technology company is looking for a Mid-Level Embedded Software Engineer to work on Linux-based applications that sit close to custom hardware in complex, performance sensitive products. This is a hands on role focused on embedded Linux application development and C/C++ software running on embedded platforms, rather than deep kernel or driver ownership.

You will work as part of a multidisciplinary product engineering team, contributing to application-level software that interfaces with hardware, MCUs, and embedded Linux systems. The role suits an engineer who is comfortable working across Linux user space, embedded C/C++, and hardware adjacent software, while collaborating closely with electronics, firmware, and test engineers throughout the product lifecycle.

This role is only open to Melbourne-based candidates or those willing to relocate to Melbourne and requires Australian Permanent Residency.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain application-level software in C/C++ on embedded Linux platforms.
• Work on Linux-based applications that interface with hardware, peripherals, and embedded systems.
• Collaborate with firmware, electronics, and test engineers to integrate software into complete products.
• Develop and debug multi-threaded applications using IPC mechanisms and system-level interfaces.
• Support software across the full product lifecycle, including development, testing, integration, and ongoing maintenance.
• Contribute to improving software quality, reliability, and maintainability in production environments.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Strong commercial experience with C/C++ development in an embedded Linux environment.
• Experience working at the application layer on embedded Linux systems.
• Understanding of threading, inter-process communication, bootloaders, and hardware interfaces.
• Exposure to MCU development using bare-metal or RTOS environments.
• Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a multidisciplinary engineering team.
• Strong communication skills and a practical, delivery-focused mindset.
