Senior Embedded Software Engineer (Systems & Architecture)

We're looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to drive software architecture across a diverse portfolio of embedded and connected products. This role blends system-level design, hands-on development with real hardware, and technical leadership within a growing engineering organization.

You'll work across software, firmware, and physical systems-shaping architecture, solving complex field issues, and mentoring engineers-while helping scale engineering practices and product quality.

This role includes limited travel (~4 weeks/year) for on-site development, troubleshooting, and industry events.

- Lead evolution of software architecture across embedded and connected systems

- Balance near-term delivery with long-term scalability, maintainability, and reliability

- Drive design reviews, technical standards, and cross-team architectural alignment

- Design, build, and debug software for embedded controllers, industrial systems, and HMIs

- Work directly with hardware, including custom embedded systems and industrial controllers

- Diagnose complex system-level issues spanning software, firmware, hardware, and real-world conditions

- Elevate automated testing practices across teams

- Design unit and integration testing strategies for embedded and application layers

- Lead development of automated test systems to improve coverage, reliability, and release velocity

- Mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing, and technical coaching

- Promote strong engineering fundamentals and pragmatic problem-solving

- Help build a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement

- Contribute as a senior member of a Scrum team spanning multiple product lines

- Partner with hardware, firmware, systems, and application engineers

- Manage competing priorities and context switching while maintaining high standards

- Help define and implement responsible use of AI in engineering workflows and products

- Establish practical use cases, guardrails, and best practices

You'll work across a wide range of embedded and connected technologies, including:

- CAN networks (J1939, CANopen, RV-C)

- Ethernet-based communication

- Cellular, Bluetooth, and remote diagnostics

- Embedded C, Python

- Mobile (iOS/Android), web interfaces, cloud systems, OTA updates

- Motor control (BLDC, PMAC)

- Battery management systems (BMS)

- Power conversion (DC-DC, AC-DC, inverters up to 50 kW)

- Engine control, HVAC, PTO systems

- Hydraulic, welding, and air compressor systems

- Strong experience in embedded software development (C/C++ and/or Python)

- Experience with microcontrollers (e.g., STM, PIC) and low-level systems

- Background in system-level debugging across hardware and software

- Experience designing automated testing systems (embedded or hardware-integrated)

- Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink for modeling or control systems

- Experience with industrial controllers or PLC-like systems (nice to have)

- Exposure to functional safety (SIL, ASIL) is a plus

- Systems thinker who enjoys working across hardware and software

- Pragmatic problem-solver comfortable with ambiguity

- Strong communicator and collaborator

- Invested in mentoring and growing others

- Work on real-world machines , not just software

- Influence architecture, testing strategy, and engineering culture

- Balance hands-on problem solving with long-term system design

- Help shape how AI is responsibly integrated into engineering workflows
