Job description
- We are your Energy Technology Partner. We electrify, automate, and digitalize every industry, business, and home, driving efficiency and sustainability for all., As a Senior Embedded Software Developer, you will design, implement, and maintain low-level and middleware software components running on ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers (STM32 family), using RTOS-based architectures (e.g. embOS). You will contribute to platform robustness, performance, and long-term maintainability while collaborating closely with other Core Services and system teams.
Reporting to the IE Core Services Director and working within a multidisciplinary team of embedded developers, testers, Product Owners, and Scrum Masters across Grenoble, Barcelona, and Bangalore, you will be a senior technical contributor to the development of embedded Core Services running on MCU-based platforms.
What will you do:
The Senior Embedded Software Developer plays a key role in delivering high-quality, real-time embedded software for Intelligent Edge platforms. The role combines strong hands-on development with technical ownership, active participation in design discussions, and contribution to platform consistency across products.
- Contribute to Embedded Architecture and Design
- Participate in embedded architecture and design discussions for Core Services.
- Understand and apply platform constraints related to MCU-based systems (memory, CPU, real-time behavior, power).
- Contribute to the definition and evolution of RTOS-based software architectures.
- Design clean and well-defined interfaces between drivers, RTOS services, middleware, and application layers.
- Maintain a clear understanding of how MCU Core Services integrate with higher-level platform components (MPU / Edge OS when applicable).
- Develop and Maintain MCU and RTOS-Based Software
- Design and implement embedded software in C / C++ for ARM Cortex-M (STM32) platforms.
- Develop software running on RTOS environments (e.g. embOS), including:
- Task and scheduling design
- Interrupt handling
- Timers, synchronization primitives, and IPC
- Contribute to low-level software such as:
- Board Support Package (BSP) components
- Drivers and hardware abstraction layers
- MCU services and platform utilities
- Ensure software robustness, determinism, and reliability in real-time conditions.
- Write clear, testable, and maintainable code aligned with embedded best practices.
- Provide Embedded and RTOS Technical Expertise
- Act as a technical reference for MCU, RTOS, and real-time design topics within the team.
- Support troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of complex embedded issues (timing, concurrency, memory, HW/SW interaction).
- Contribute to technical investigations, debugging sessions, and performance analysis.
- Participate in code reviews with a strong focus on real-time correctness and software quality.
- Collaborate with other teams (system, hardware, MPU / Edge OS teams) on integration topics.
- Analyze and Anticipate Technical Impacts
- Evaluate the impact of design choices on:
- Real-time performance
- Memory footprint
- Scalability and reusability
- Long-term maintainability
- Identify technical risks early and propose mitigation strategies.
- Contribute to the definition of development guidelines and reusable patterns for embedded Core Services.
- Support evolution towards new MCU families, RTOS versions, or platform constraints when required.
- Contribute to Agile Delivery and Platform Consistency
- Actively participate in PI Planning, sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives.
- Collaborate closely with the PO to clarify requirements and technical feasibility.
- Contribute to effort estimation and technical breakdown of stories.
- Identify technical blockers or dependencies and communicate them proactively.
- Work effectively in a multi-site, multi-disciplinary environment.
- Support Knowledge Sharing and Team Growth
- Support and mentor less experienced embedded developers.
- Share knowledge on RTOS concepts, embedded patterns, and MCU best practices.
- Contribute to onboarding of new team members.
- Promote a culture of engineering excellence, robustness, and continuous improvement.
Requirements
- Strong experience in embedded software development for MCU-based systems
- Solid knowledge of ARM Cortex-M architecture and STM32 MCU family
- Proven experience with RTOS-based systems (e.g. embOS, FreeRTOS, etc.)
- Strong proficiency in C / C++ for embedded environments
- Good understanding of real-time constraints, interrupts, memory management, and concurrency
- Experience working close to hardware (drivers, BSP, HW/SW interaction)
- Ability to analyze and solve complex embedded and real-time issues
- Comfortable working in agile development environments
- Autonomous, proactive, and quality-oriented mindset., (External) English Company Boiler Plate
