Embedded Software Engineer

Type: Contract
Primary Skills: Embedded Systems, Bash, Python

What’s the Role About?

We’re on the hunt for an Embedded Software Engineer who’s excited about diving deep into low-level software development. You’ll research, design, and test everything from OS integration and I/O drivers to boot configurations and hardware interfacing for electronic control hardware (like ECU/ECMs). In other words, if embedded systems are your jam, this role is for you!

Your typical day might include analyzing client needs, brainstorming hardware solutions, collaborating with a top-notch team, writing code (mostly in C), managing version control, and testing your creations. If this sounds like your kind of adventure, keep reading.

What You’ll Be Doing:

•Conceptualizing, designing, testing, and documenting new software features and processes.

•Breaking down requirements and turning them into actionable tasks.

•Exploring new programming languages, tools, and processes.

•Maintaining and enhancing existing software solutions.

•Using version control and configuration management to keep things on track.

•Staying on the cutting edge of tech and integrating emerging technologies.

•Communicating technical details clearly with teammates, clients, and stakeholders.

•Providing support and technical expertise to engineers, managers, and customers.

What You Bring to the Table:

Technical Skills:

•Embedded Expertise: You’ve built and debugged real-time device drivers in your sleep.

•Hardware Whiz: SPI/I2C, hardware diagnostics, board initialization, and chip-level interfacing are second nature to you.

•OS Integration: You know your way around OS configurations and low-level hardware.

•Programming Power: Bash, Python, ANSI C—you’re fluent in all three.

•Git Guru: Version control is your best friend. (Bonus points for Clearcase!)

•Troubleshooting Tools: You’ve mastered oscilloscopes and other debugging tools.

•Agile Mindset: Experience in Agile software development keeps you flexible and focused.

Soft Skills:

•Top-notch verbal and written communication.

•Problem-solving skills that make you everyone’s go-to person.

•You’re a team player who can navigate technical conversations and client meetings with ease.

Preferred Bonus Skills:

•Knowledge of display, telematics, or control electronics software design.

•Familiarity with embedded software design patterns (and anti-patterns).

What We’re Looking For:

•Education: Bachelor’s in Computer or Electrical Engineering (or related field). A degree in Computer Science might work if your experience is on point.

•Experience: 5–8 years in embedded systems development. Got a Master’s degree? Relevant internships/projects count toward experience.

What Won’t Work:

•If most of your experience is in test engineering or controls engineering instead of core embedded development, this might not be the role for you.
