Embedded / Firmware Engineer - C / C++ Programming

About the Opportunity :

We are seeking a highly skilled Embedded / Firmware Engineer with deep expertise in C / C++ programming, microcontrollers, and real-time operating systems (RTOS).

The ideal candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, testing, and optimizing embedded software for performance-critical and hardware-integrated systems.

This role demands a strong understanding of hardware-software integration, low-level driver development, and embedded communication protocols.

You will work closely with hardware engineers, product teams, and system architects to deliver reliable and efficient embedded solutions for next-generation Responsibilities :

• Design and develop firmware and embedded software for microcontrollers, processors, and SoC-based systems.
• Write, optimize, and debug code in C / C++ for real-time and resource-constrained environments.
• Integrate and customize RTOS components (FreeRTOS, ThreadX, VxWorks, or similar).
• Develop and maintain device drivers, peripheral interfaces, and communication stacks (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet).
• Work with hardware design teams to validate and bring up new boards, ensuring seamless hardware-software integration.
• Conduct unit testing, hardware validation, and debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers.
• Implement and verify bootloaders, firmware update mechanisms, and power management modules.
• Collaborate with system architects to ensure scalability, reliability, and performance optimization.
• Participate in code reviews, design documentation, and process improvement activities.
• Maintain compliance with industry standards such as MISRA C, ISO 26262, or DO-178C (depending on domain).
