Embedded Software Engineer

About the Role

Would you like to build the software that powers next-generation connected devices? We’re looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to design and develop production-grade software for Linux-based embedded systems used in high-impact industrial and IoT environments.

In this role, you will work close to the operating system layer, developing reliable and secure embedded applications while collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams. You’ll contribute to the architecture, performance, and reliability of systems that interact directly with hardware, communication buses, and industrial protocols.

About You

• You have solid experience developing embedded software for Linux-based systems.

• You are comfortable working close to the operating system layer, including kernel configuration, system services, and debugging tools.

• You enjoy building reliable and high-performance software using modern C++ and Python.

• You collaborate effectively with firmware, hardware, and platform engineering teams.

• You communicate clearly across technical stakeholders and contribute actively to architecture discussions.

• You are passionate about building robust systems that run in real-world industrial environments.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Design and develop embedded software running on Linux-based systems.

• Customize and maintain embedded Linux distributions using the Yocto build system.

• Configure and debug Linux kernels, system services, and process management.

• Develop high-performance applications using modern C++.

• Build automation tools and development utilities using Python.

• Implement and debug industrial communication protocols such as Modbus (RTU/TCP) and CAN.

• Design and maintain secure over-the-air (OTA) update workflows with rollback mechanisms.

• Troubleshoot field issues related to networking, timing, hardware communication, and system updates.

• Contribute to system architecture decisions and embedded platform design.

• Write unit and integration tests to ensure reliability and maintainability.

• Participate in code reviews and maintain high engineering standards.

• Collaborate in Agile development environments and contribute to sprint planning and delivery.

What We’re Looking For

• A proactive and solution-oriented mindset when addressing complex embedded systems challenges.

• Strong analytical and debugging skills in hardware-adjacent software environments.

• Ability to prioritize tasks and deliver features in sprint-based development cycles.

• Curiosity and willingness to continuously learn new tools and technologies.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills across multidisciplinary teams.

Technical Requirements

Must-Haves

• 6+ years of experience in embedded software development.

• Strong proficiency in C++ and Python.

• Hands-on experience with Embedded Linux environments.

• Experience with the Yocto build system for embedded distributions.

• Experience with RAUC or similar OTA update frameworks.

• Familiarity with system debugging tools such as gdb, strace, and tcpdump.

• Experience implementing Modbus (RTU/TCP) and CAN / CAN Bus communication protocols.

• Understanding of multithreading, concurrency, and inter-process communication (IPC).

• Solid knowledge of networking fundamentals.

• Experience with Git workflows and CI/CD pipelines.

• Familiarity with containerized development environments such as Docker or Docker Compose.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with Boost.Asio or asynchronous C++ programming patterns.

• Experience with messaging systems such as ZeroMQ or MQTT.

• Familiarity with time synchronization systems such as NTP or RTC handling.

• Experience implementing A/B partitioning strategies and secure boot chains.

• Familiarity with Trunk-Based Development workflows.

• Experience with unit testing frameworks such as Google Test.

• Experience working with cross-compilation toolchains.

• Domain knowledge in electric vehicles (EV), energy systems, industrial automation, or IoT platforms.
