Senior Embedded Software Engineer

This is an opportunity for an experienced embedded software engineer to play a key role in the design and development of sophisticated, hardware-integrated products. You’ll work across embedded software and firmware, from system architecture and hardware bring-up through to development, integration, testing and production., As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you’ll contribute to the architecture, development and delivery of embedded software and firmware across a range of products and platforms., * Developing embedded software and firmware using C and C++

• Customising, configuring and optimising the Linux kernel
• Building and maintaining embedded Linux distributions using Yocto
• Working with Board Support Packages (BSPs), device drivers and hardware bring-up
• Building and customising Android Open Source Project (AOSP) for embedded platforms
• Working with Android HAL layers, system services and associated build systems
• Integrating image sensors and ISP pipelines using available drivers
• Designing reusable software frameworks for embedded products
• Working with cross-compilation environments, build systems and toolchains
• Debugging hardware and software using tools such as JTAG, gdb, strace, perf, oscilloscopes and logic analysers
• Working with communication interfaces including Ethernet, CAN, UART, SPI, I²C and USB
• Optimising software for performance, memory, power and CPU utilisation
• Collaborating closely with hardware, mechanical and test engineering teams
• Contributing to code reviews, technical documentation, unit testing and engineering best practice

We’re looking for someone with strong embedded Linux experience who is comfortable working close to the hardware and enjoys solving complex technical challenges., You’ll have significant experience developing embedded software and firmware for hardware-based products, with a strong understanding of the interaction between software and hardware.
