Junior Embedded Software Engineer

KEY

RESPONSIBILITIES - Support the development, testing, and debugging of embedded Linux systems and low-level firmware- from daemons and drivers to bootloaders and control loops under the guidance of senior engineers. - Assist in developing and maintaining drivers across interfaces such as PCIe, SPI, I2C, UART, MIPI CSI-2, and GPIO, under the guidance of senior engineers. - Help bring up peripherals (cameras, sensors, communication links) at both the software and hardware level - from firmware and embedded Linux integration to assembling first article prototypes, soldering, wiring, and initial power-on checks alongside the EE team. - Help own component test characterization campaigns, from setting up test rigs to running the tests and pulling results together. - Participate in longevity testing campaigns and analyze the resulting test data to catch issues before they matter. - Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and team discussions to build your product and reliability instincts.

BASIC

QUALIFICATIONS - 0-2 years of experience in embedded software engineering, systems-level development, or a related internship/academic background. - Experience in C and working knowledge of C++. - Foundational understanding of common hardware interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, Ethernet) from coursework, personal projects, or internships. - Comfort reading basic schematics or a strong willingness to learn. - Familiarity with basic lab tools (multimeter, oscilloscope) or eagerness to build that skill on the job. - Strong debugging curiosity and persistence- you enjoy digging into why something isn't working. - Good communication skills and comfort asking questions and collaborating closely with senior engineers. - A bias toward hands-on learning and fast iteration.

BONUS

QUALIFICATIONS - Ability to solder and build a wire harness. - Ability to use a multimeter and oscilloscope. - Exposure to firmware development on microcontrollers (e.g., bare-metal, RTOS, or Arduino/STM32/ESP32-style projects) from coursework, personal projects, or internships. - Exposure to Linux kernel development, device drivers, or embedded Linux (Yocto, Buildroot). - Personal, academic, or internship projects involving PCIe, MIPI CSI-2, or other high-speed interfaces. - Familiarity with Zephyr RTOS or other embedded operating systems.
