Job description

  • Design, develop, and maintain firmware for embedded systems, microcontrollers, and Linux applications.
  • Develop and maintain BSPs for custom hardware, including initialization routines, device tree configurations, and hardware abstraction layers.
  • Write and optimize low-level code in C/C++ for performance, reliability, and scalability on resource-constrained environments.
  • Interface with hardware through device drivers and manage communications with peripherals (I2C, SPI, UART, etc.).
  • Collaborate with hardware engineers to understand hardware specifications, timing constraints, and ensure firmware compatibility.
  • Debug and troubleshoot firmware and BSP issues at the hardware level, using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other debugging tools.
  • Develop and execute tests to validate BSP and firmware functionality, reliability, and performance in real-time embedded systems.
  • Maintain technical documentation for BSP, firmware design, implementation, and debugging processes.
  • Perform code reviews and contribute to firmware architecture and process improvements.
