Software Engineer

As a Software Engineer, you will design, develop, integrate, and validate software for advanced Single Board Computer (SBC) platforms. You will work across the embedded software stack, from low-level drivers and system services to security mechanisms, software update frameworks, and user-space applications, ensuring high performance, reliability, and maintainability.

Working closely with hardware and software engineering teams, you will contribute to system architecture, hardware-software integration, platform selection, and product development from initial prototypes through production releases. This role is ideal for an experienced Embedded Linux engineer who enjoys solving complex system-level challenges, debugging hardware-software interactions, and taking technical ownership of critical software components. Key Responsibilities

• Design software architectures for Single Board Computer (SBC) platforms, defining component structures, module interactions, interfaces, and communication protocols.
• Develop complex low-level drivers, system services, security mechanisms, and software update frameworks for embedded Linux platforms.
• Implement advanced hardware-software integration solutions, including communication and interaction with FPGAs, external controllers, and other system components.
• Develop and integrate complex communication protocol stacks, including Ethernet, USB, and CAN, ensuring reliable system communication and performance.
• Analyze and optimize system boot processes, resource utilization, performance, and stability across SBC platforms.
• Lead technical activities within projects, including task allocation, code reviews, technical decision-making, and code quality control.
• Participate in the selection and evaluation of software and hardware platform architectures, including recommendations for hardware components and system configurations.
• Investigate complex hardware-software interaction issues, including signal integrity problems, bus conflicts, noise, and other system-level failures.
• Define and execute hardware platform test scenarios, perform detailed debugging and diagnostics, and support system validation activities.
• Prepare, maintain, and support production software releases while ensuring appropriate documentation, testing, and release quality.
• Share technical expertise with the team through mentoring, knowledge sharing, and technical guidance.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related engineering discipline.
• 4+ years of experience in embedded software engineering, with experience developing complex software for embedded systems.
• Strong experience in embedded software architecture, module design, and system-level software development.
• Advanced expertise in Embedded Linux, including both kernel-space and user-space development.
• Proven experience developing high-performance, low-level drivers and system services.
• Experience integrating complex communication protocols such as Ethernet, USB, and CAN.
• Strong understanding of system boot processes, SBC resource management, and embedded system performance optimization.
• Understanding of embedded systems security and secure software development practices.
• Advanced debugging and diagnostic skills using JTAG, OpenOCD, GDB, and gdbserver.
• Experience preparing and maintaining production software releases, including release testing and documentation.
• Strong hands-on experience using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, programmers, and hardware debuggers for low-level system diagnostics.
• Experience analyzing hardware-software interaction issues, including communication bus conflicts, signal integrity, noise, and thermal or power-related issues.
• Advanced proficiency with Yocto and/or Buildroot for embedded Linux development and system integration.
• Experience with GCC and/or Clang, CI/CD systems, profiling and tracing tools, and Wireshark.
• Familiarity with Doxygen and requirements and defect management tools such as Jira and Polarion.
• Experience using Docker for embedded software build and development environments is a plus.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work effectively across hardware and software engineering teams.
