Summary
Our client, a global leader in advanced autonomous and robotic solutions across multiple industries, is seeking a highly skilled Embedded Software Engineer to lead the development, integration, and optimization of real-time embedded software for advanced autonomous vehicle platforms. This role requires deep expertise in embedded C/C++, RTOS-based systems, and low-level hardware/software integration, supporting complex vehicle control, actuator, and sensor-driven systems operating in demanding real-world environments. The ideal candidate brings a strong systems mindset, hands-on debugging and integration experience, and the ability to work across the full software development lifecycle—from architecture and feature development through testing, field deployment, and long-term system support.
Key Responsibilities- Lead embedded software feature development for autonomous robotic vehicle systems.
- Design, develop, and troubleshoot embedded applications supporting vehicle control, actuators, and sensor systems.
- Drive software integration across embedded hardware, controls, and systems engineering teams.
- Develop clean, maintainable C/C++ code using modern software engineering principles and design patterns.
- Build and maintain unit, integration, and simulation test frameworks using a test-driven approach.
- Support field deployments, debug complex system issues, and contribute to continuous software improvement efforts.
- Collaborate across cross-functional engineering teams to ensure reliable system performance and integration.
Required Qualifications- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
- 7+ years of experience developing embedded real-time software systems in C/C++.
- Strong experience with multithreaded embedded applications and RTOS environments.
- Familiarity with embedded hardware, electrical systems, and mechanical system interaction.
- Experience with communication protocols such as CAN, TCP/IP, UDP, SPI, or RS232.
- Experience interfacing with sensors including GPS, LiDAR, RADAR, ultrasonics, or similar technologies.
Preferred Qualifications- Experience with ROS/ROS2, autonomous systems, robotics, or vehicle platforms.
- Familiarity with Agile development methodologies.
- Experience with device drivers, embedded Linux, or flash programming tools.
- Background in system simulation, debugging, and embedded software testing.
- Exposure to AI technology is a big plus
