Embedded Firmware Engineer Real-Time Systems

Position Summary

We are seeking an experienced Embedded Firmware Engineer to develop and maintain firmware for complex real-time embedded systems. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in embedded C/C++, real-time microcontrollers, low-level driver development, and system-level debugging across hardware and software boundaries.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop embedded firmware for real-time control systems.

• Implement and optimize drivers, BSPs, middleware, and firmware frameworks.

• Work with MCU peripherals including interrupts, timers, watchdogs, PWM, GPIO, memory, clocks, ADC, and communication interfaces.

• Develop and debug communication stacks such as CAN, SPI, Ethernet, ARINC 825, and related protocols.

• Support hardware bring-up, lab validation, HIL testing, and system integration.

• Perform low-level debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers, and trace tools.

• Collaborate with hardware, systems, validation, and product teams throughout the development lifecycle.

Required Qualifications

Must-Have Skills

• 5+ years of experience developing embedded firmware for complex real-time systems.

• Strong proficiency in Embedded C/C++ and real-time firmware architecture.

• Experience with real-time microcontroller platforms such as TI C2000, NXP, or comparable safety-oriented MCUs.

• Strong understanding of MCU peripherals including interrupts, timers, watchdogs, memory, clocks, ADC, PWM, GPIO, and communication interfaces.

• Hands-on experience with protocols such as CAN, CAN derivatives, SPI, Ethernet, or ARINC 825.

• Proven ability to integrate and debug software across hardware, firmware, and system boundaries.

• Experience supporting hardware bring-up, lab validation, and HIL testing.

• Strong analytical and low-level debugging skills.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

Bonus Experience

• Direct experience with TI C2000 or NXP microcontrollers.

• Background in aerospace, automotive, industrial, or other safety-critical systems.

• Exposure to DO-178C, ARP4754/4761, or ISO 26262 development concepts.

• Experience developing reusable BSPs, drivers, middleware, and embedded frameworks.

• Knowledge of motor drives, ADC systems, power electronics, sensors, or vehicle control systems.

• Experience supporting production launch, field issues, and long-term platform maintenance.
