Senior Embedded Software Engineer

The Senior Embedded Software Engineer will develop and maintain robust application software for Thermo King transport refrigeration units, with a specialized focus on the Rust programming language. This engineer will create software that runs within Embedded Linux and Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) environments. Working directly from incoming requirements, you will collaborate closely with the platform’s technical lead to derive and document low-level designs. Additionally, you will be responsible for upholding software engineering standards through peer reviews, unit/integration testing, and documentation practices, while providing mentorship and guidance to engineers who are new to embedded software development.

What you will do:

• Design, develop, and deliver maintainable, safe, and concurrent embedded applications using Rust.
• Consume higher-level system and functional requirements to derive, document, and execute detailed low-level software designs in collaboration with the platform technical lead.
• Drive software quality and adherence to software development processes through comprehensive unit and integration testing, rigorous peer code reviews, and high documentation standards.
• Provide active mentorship and guidance to team members who are new to embedded software development or the Rust programming language.
• Specify, design, and implement functionality and behaviors of embedded subsystems running on Embedded Linux and RTOS.
• Participate in the core execution phases of the software development lifecycle from low-level design through integration, unit/integration testing, deployment, and manufacturing support.
• Make performance, memory, and optimization trade-offs to meet strict product requirements.
• Apply systematic problem-solving skills to define issues, identify root causes, develop, qualify, and implement corrective actions in a timely manner.
• Document and resolve software defects using a bug tracking system and track defects through resolution.
• Interface with cross-functional engineering and systems engineering teams to understand technical inputs and deliver high-quality software artifacts.

• Bachelor’s Degree (BA/BS) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical engineering discipline
• 5+ years of embedded software development experience
• Experience developing software for Embedded Linux
• Strong proficiency in the Rust programming language
• Familiarity with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Podman, containerd)
• Hands-on commitment to robust software development practices, including unit testing, integration testing, code reviews, and technical documentation
• Ability to translate functional requirements into clear, maintainable, low-level software designs
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with a passion for teaching and mentoring junior engineers, * Real-world experience building products with Yocto, including managing Kconfig, modifying device trees, and debugging kernel drivers
• Proficiency with C/C++ or Python
• Development experience with Zephyr RTOS
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
