Job Title: Embedded GUI Engineer
Location: Palo Alto, CA (Onsite)
Duration: 6-12+ months Contract-to-Hire (C2H)
Role Summary: Embedded GUI Engineer Seeking an experienced
Embedded GUI Engineer
to design, develop, and optimize graphical user interfaces for next-generation embedded devices .
The role requires strong hands-on expertise with LVGL, Zephyr RTOS, and embedded graphics stacks, working closely with UX, platform, and hardware teams.
Key Responsibilities Design and develop embedded GUIs using LVGL and Zephyr RTOS. Collaborate with UX teams to evaluate design concepts, build prototypes, and assess feasibility. Develop UI assets and workflows using tools such as Figma, ProtoPie, FreeType, emWin, etc . Optimize graphics pipelines considering memory, performance, and system constraints. Interface with embedded platform software engineers and silicon vendor graphics stacks (e.g., OpenGL, Skia, TouchGFX, VGLite). Provide input on component and hardware selection related to 2D/3D graphics performance. Participate in system-level architecture, design reviews, and product definition. Ensure alignment between development, testing, documentation, and delivery milestones. Communicate progress, risks, and dependencies to stakeholders. Contribute to continuous improvements in development processes, tooling, and methodologies.
Required Skills & Qualifications Bachelors/Masters degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, or related field. 5+ years of experience in embedded software,
GUI development, or HMI engineering . Strong hands-on experience with LVGL and embedded UI frameworks. Experience working with Zephyr RTOS or similar real-time operating systems. Solid understanding of embedded platforms, compilers, build systems, and version control. Experience with GUI/UX workflows, validation, and performance optimization. Strong communication, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills. Ability to manage tasks, timelines, and deliverables in fast-paced environments.
Good-to-Have Experience designing complete
GUI development pipelines (asset creation
build
deployment
automated testing). Familiarity with
GPU/graphics accelerators and hardware bring-up . Exposure to automotive, consumer electronics, medical devices, or IoT products. Experience with
C/C++, Python, or shell scripting. Knowledge of Jira, Confluence, Microsoft Project, or similar PM tools.
