## About the Role

* Experience: 3+ years in Embedded Software or Firmware Engineering, with a proven track record of bringing microcontroller-based products to production.
 * Technical Depth: Deep proficiency in C and C++ programming for resource-constrained environments, along with hands-on experience using RTOS or Embedded Linux.
 * Tooling: You are fluent with hardware debug interfaces (JTAG/SWD) and modern version control systems (Git).
 * Communication Skills: Professional fluency in English is required for system documentation and daily cross-functional collaboration.
 * Mindset: You are pragmatic. You know when to push for absolute code optimization and when to deliver a stable, reliable build for system testing.

## Description

* Firmware Architecture: Maintain and evolve our core embedded software frameworks. Ensure reliability, clean abstraction layers, and low-latency execution across all microcontrollers.
 * End-to-End Development: Lead the firmware process from initial board bring-up and driver design to high-level middleware integration and system validation.
 * Hardware Integration: Collaborate with hardware design teams to evaluate components, debug custom board revisions, and optimize power consumption.
 * System Testing & Analysis: Don't just guess. Validate performance using oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and automated test suites before deploying code to production devices.
 * Technical Collaboration: Present architectural decisions to stakeholders and lead cross-functional reviews. You can explain how memory constraints impact system performance, not just that the code compiles.
