Responsibilities
Build Core Firmware: Design, implement, and test firmware in C/C++ running on bare-metal, RTOS-based, and Embedded Linux systems
Work Close to the Hardware: Develop and debug device drivers, communication interfaces, and low-level system behavior. Learn to read schematics, interpret datasheets, and understand how software interacts with real circuits
Ship Under Real-World Constraints: Write code that must be reliable, deterministic, and safe. Where timing matters, where failures have physical consequences, and where simplicity is often the best engineering strategy
Work Across Domains: Work with hardware engineers, power electronics engineers, and other software teams to solve integration challenges and deliver robust system behavior
Qualification
Required
A solid understanding of C/C++, embedded systems concepts, and basic computer architecture
Experience from coursework, side projects, or prior internships involving microcontrollers, RTOS, sensor integration, robotics, or other embedded systems
Interest in how real systems behave — timing diagrams, interrupts, oscilloscopes, and debugging actual hardware
Clear, concise communicator who thrives in collaborative, fast-paced environments
Builder's mindset: curious, self-directed, and eager to work on problems that actually matter
