Embedded Software Engineer

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded software for microcontroller-based systems using C and C++ for QNX, ZephyrOS, and similar real-time operating systems.
• Collaborate with cross-functional hardware, software, and product teams to define software requirements and system architecture for embedded control systems.
• Own elements of embedded software development using layered architectures and embedded operating systems, ensuring scalability and maintainability.
• Oversee unit testing, integration testing, regression testing, and system validation to ensure software reliability, performance, and testability.
• Develop networking implementations and application code for wireless processors supporting Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and ISM bands within IoT and cloud-connected environments.
• Support hardware troubleshooting during product development and testing, including close co-design work with hardware and circuit teams.
• Document software design, architecture, and implementation details in a clear and structured manner for ongoing maintenance and knowledge sharing.
• Use industry-standard diagnostic tools such as emulators, debuggers, oscilloscopes, and related equipment to debug and verify controller software at the unit level.
• Develop custom diagnostic software as needed for specialized features or functions to support testing and validation.
• Contribute to and perform code reviews, release processes, and workflow walkthroughs to drive continuous improvement of development practices.
• Technically lead the breakdown of software scopes of work, and help develop project timelines and budgets for embedded software initiatives.
• Mentor and guide less experienced team members in core embedded software development practices, tools, and methodologies.
• Participate in sustaining engineering activities and support existing products while also contributing to new product development (NPD) projects.
• Ensure software is designed for board bring-up and end-of-line production testing, supporting smooth transition from development to manufacturing.
