Software Engineer (Embedded Systems)

Are you an experienced embedded software engineer and  team player looking for an opportunity to contribute and learn as part of a dynamic and international product development/engineering team?

Are you passionate about what you do? Do you think you have knowledge and experience to share while having the curiosity and interest to learn and develop yourself?

Do you appreciate creative freedom but also see the value in standards, processes, documentation, and communication for getting things done and helping you to unleash your full potential? 

If so, we may have an interesting opportunity for you!

About the role and responsibilities

This is a role for a person with proven competencies and work experience in design and development of software/firmware for embedded systems. We are looking for broad experience rather than a narrow specialization to support our work with diverse applications on platforms ranging from microcontrollers running bare-metal FW applications to processor-based designs running multitasking operating systems.

In this role you will be a key member of a multidisciplinary embedded engineering team developing diverse new products as well as maintaining older products on a project-by-project basis. The working mode is a mix of independent and self-guided work and collaboration with team members, clients, and partners. 

Your main task is to develop software and firmware at both the system and application level for client projects. You will participate at all stages of a typical SW product life cycle—e.g., requirements elaboration, concepting, estimating, architecture, testing, review, maintenance, and other related activities—based on project needs and your interest. You will also participate in electronics-SW co-development from specification to board bring-up and design verification as well as definition and implementation of production test system SW.

Succeeding in this role requires:

• Fluent and proven programming skills in C and Python

• Skills and experience in Linux and/or RTOS application development on embedded and PC platforms

• Skills and experience in embedded electronics-SW co-development including knowledge of common SoC peripherals, interfaces and buses, memories as well as common procedures and tools for board bring-up, testing and debugging

• Relevant college/university education or equivalent theoretical background

• Analytical, systematic, problem-solving-oriented approach

• Appreciation for quality, maintainability, processes, standards, documentation, and communication

• Capability for both independent work as well as smooth and supportive teamwork

The following are desirable:
•    Experience of kernel level and device driver development
•    Skills in other programming languages, especially C++, JavaScript
•    Electronics knowledge and skills
