Overview
Embedded Software Engineer (Linux focused) to design, develop, and maintain firmware for IoT devices. This role will be responsible for developing embedded firmware at both the application and driver level, configuring and managing embedded Linux systems (including filesystems, kernel, networking, logs, and security), and collaborating with hardware engineers to ensure seamless hardware-software integration. The engineer will also implement communication protocols to enable efficient device and peripheral connectivity, create clear documentation to support development and maintenance, and perform testing and validation to ensure reliability, security, and performance of the firmware. What You Will Be Doing
Firmware Development: Design and develop embedded firmware for IoT devices, including writing, testing, and debugging code (both at the application and driver level). Embedded Linux system configuration and management (filesystems, kernel, network, logs, security). Hardware-Software Integration: Collaborate with hardware engineers to ensure proper integration of the firmware with IoT device hardware. Protocols and Communication: Implement communication protocols to ensure IoT devices can connect and communicate efficiently with onboard peripheral devices and over networks. Documentation: Create comprehensive documentation related to firmware design and maintenance. Testing and Validation: Conduct preliminary testing to validate the functionality and reliability of the firmware. Qualifications
Education
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science/Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. Experience
Experience with SoC and microcontroller programming/architectures (RTOS and bare metal development environments). Primarily ARM Cortex-M vs ARM Cortex-A processor families and associated SoCs. Abilities
Ability to debug and triage issues with board-level communication protocols (I2C, SMBUS, SPI/QSPI/OSPI, USB, UART). Skills
Proficiency in C/C++ programming language and Linux bash shell scripting. Python and C# experience a plus. Linux Kernel configuration/cross compilation using frameworks such as mmdebstrap, Yocto, Buildroot. Linux devicetree overlay customization and configuration. Linux network configuration in a headless environment. Linux Kernel patching and patch management. Debian package development. Custom Debian package repository configuration and administration. U-Boot configuration. We Offer
Generous paid time off (PTO): 35 days PTO to enable work/life integration and promote a culture of trust. Health & Wellness: Eligibility for healthcare benefits begin day one, plus retirement savings plans. Financial future: Retirement savings plans; planning resources. Family-First Support: Assistance to navigate family challenges and time for loved ones and self-care. Hybrid work: Two days at home, three days in the office, with flexibility to work remotely up to two weeks per year. Time off to volunteer and give back to the community. Career Growth: E-learning opportunities, workshops, and potential global mobility. Commute benefits: Up to $100/month for commuting expenses. Philanthropy: Company matches employee donations up to $500 per year. Additional Information
