Staff Software Engineer – Embedded

We are looking for an experienced * Staff Software Engineer – Embedded * with 7+ years of relevant experience in embedded software development and system-level engineering.

The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in *embedded Linux, Linux kernel development, hardware-software integration, system architecture, device drivers, ARM-based platforms, networking, and low-level debugging*. The role requires someone who can work across the complete software development lifecycle and collaborate effectively with hardware and software engineering teams.

This is a hands-on technical role suited to an engineer who can contribute to architecture and design while also being comfortable working close to the hardware.

Key Responsibilities

·      Design and develop software for complex embedded systems involving both hardware and software components.

·      Contribute to system-level architecture, technical design, implementation, integration, debugging, and maintenance.

·      Develop and maintain software for embedded Linux platforms.

·      Design, develop, integrate, and debug Linux kernel drivers for multi-processor and heterogeneous systems.

·      Work with ARM processors, DSPs, and feature-rich microcontrollers.

·      Perform hardware-software integration, board bring-up, system validation, and troubleshooting.

·      Develop and work with common hardware communication protocols such as *SPI, UART, and I2C*.

·      Diagnose complex software and hardware issues using debuggers, emulators, JTAG and other appropriate development tools.

·      Work with networking and data communication protocols including *TCP, UDP, RTSP, REST, SOAP, and WebSockets*.

·      Contribute to software validation and development of tools/frameworks used to validate embedded hardware and software systems.

·      Participate in software architecture, object-oriented analysis and design, and structured/functional decomposition.

·      Apply appropriate design patterns, data structures, algorithms, and advanced programming techniques.

·      Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams on technical design and implementation.

·      Contribute to code reviews, technical documentation, continuous integration, and engineering best practices.

Required Qualifications

·      7+ years of relevant experience in software/embedded systems engineering.

·      Strong expertise in *system-level architecture for embedded hardware/software systems*.

·      Strong understanding of the complete software development lifecycle: specification, design, implementation, integration, debugging, and maintenance.

·      Thorough understanding of *Linux OS and Linux kernel*, particularly for embedded systems.

·      Strong experience in *Linux kernel driver development*.

·      Experience developing software for *multi-processor and heterogeneous embedded systems*.

·      Experience with *ARM processors, DSPs, and microcontrollers*.

·      Strong understanding of embedded hardware interfaces including *SPI, UART, I2C*, etc.

·      Experience with *board bring-up and hardware/software system validation*.

·      Proficiency in debugging software on PC host platforms and/or embedded hardware using debuggers, emulators, JTAG, or similar tools.

·      Experience with networking and communication protocols such as *TCP/IP, UDP, RTSP, REST/SOAP web services, and WebSockets*.

·      Experience with *Bash/shell scripting*.

·      Familiarity with *containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes*.

·      Familiarity with *SQL databases*, including development and maintenance.

·      Strong understanding of object-oriented analysis and design.

·      Familiarity with structured and functional decomposition methodologies.

·      Strong knowledge of design patterns, data structures, and advanced programming techniques.

·      Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively within a technical team.

Preferred Qualifications

·      Experience in one or more of the following areas will be an advantage:
