The ideal candidate has strong experience in embedded Linux, Zephyr, device drivers, and hardware/firmware integration.
Duties/Responsibilities:
Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware for microcontrollers and SoCs
Develop and debug firmware on bare-metal and RTOS platforms (e.g., Zephyr)
Work with embedded Linux systems, including kernel configuration and user-space applications
Implement and optimize hardware drivers (I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, ADC/DAC, PCIe, etc.)
Develop and validate hardware/firmware interfaces and bring-up new hardware platforms
Design and implement low-power management strategies
Collaborate with hardware, systems, and software teams
Perform board bring-up, debugging, and system validation
Troubleshoot system-level issues
Contribute to architecture decisions and documentation
Skills/Abilities:
Experience with low-power embedded system design preferred
Familiarity with bootloaders, secure firmware development, and over-the-air (OTA) update processes preferred
Experience with embedded Linux build systems such as Yocto and/or Buildroot preferred
Proficiency in Python or other scripting languages for automation and development support preferred
