- Design, develop, and maintain embedded software for our product portfolio, targeting both Linux-based and RTOS-based platforms.
- Develop and optimize firmware and application code in C and C++ for resource-constrained and real-time environments.
- Work with Linux Embedded distributions, including board bring-up, driver development, and system integration.
- Develop real-time applications on FreeRTOS and/or Zephyr, managing tasks, interrupts, and timing-critical operations.
- Contribute to defining software architectures that balance performance, reliability, and maintainability across heterogeneous platforms.
- Collaborate with hardware engineers, product managers, and other team members throughout the product development lifecycle.
- Debug and troubleshoot complex issues across the full embedded stack, from hardware interfaces to application logic.
- Write clean, well-documented, and testable code; participate in code reviews and contribute to improving team practices.
REQUIREMENTS:
Education
-
