We are developing next-generation connected devices and SDR-based systems and are looking for an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to take ownership of low-level ARM bring-up, IP stack integration, bootloader design, and Linux-based platform development (Zynq + PetaLinux).

Responsibilities

Develop andmaintainembedded firmware forARM-basedmicrocontrollers used in production hardware.
Integrate and configure RTOS environments (preferably Zephyr) and embedded TCP/IP stacks.
Design and implement secure bootloaders and reliable firmware update mechanisms over Ethernet/IP.
Bring up and customize Zynq-based platforms usingPetaLinuxandYocto.
Develop and debug low-level Linux drivers and support hardware bring-up.
Work with high-speedADC/DACinterfaces such asJESD and LVDSin FPGA/SoC-based systems.
Contribute to next-generation SDR platform development and system integration.
Establish software verification processes and CI/CD pipelines for embedded and Linux builds.
Support system-level testing and troubleshooting in lab and field environments.
Define and enforce coding standards, documentation practices, and software quality guidelines to ensure reliable and maintainable firmware across the team.
Collaborate closely with hardware, systems, and product teams to ensure robust system integration.
Support system-level testing, validation, and troubleshooting in laboratory and field environments.
