Lead Embedded Software Engineer - Powering Autonomous Vehicles

Overview

We are looking for an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to lead the development of advanced firmware systems for cutting-edge sensing technology. In this role, you will guide a team of engineers while remaining hands-on in the design and implementation of embedded software. From high-level architecture to low-level modules, your expertise will shape the performance, reliability, and scalability of mission-critical systems. This is an opportunity to combine technical leadership with direct engineering impact in a collaborative, fast-paced environment.

• Technical Leadership:
  Architect and oversee embedded system design, ensuring high-performance firmware that integrates seamlessly with hardware and system-level components.
• Team Guidance:
  Lead, mentor, and support a team of engineers, aligning technical direction and ensuring efficient collaboration across the firmware group.
• Hands-On Development:
  Contribute directly to coding and debugging using C, C++, and Python, while applying best practices to embedded software development.
• System Expertise:
  Work with embedded SoCs, Linux environments, and low-level bring-up processes to deliver robust and reliable embedded solutions.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  
  Partner with hardware, FPGA, networking, and test infrastructure teams to design, validate, and deploy complete embedded systems.

• Expert-level proficiency in C and C++, with additional experience in Python.
• Strong background in Linux development for embedded systems.
• Hands-on experience with embedded SoCs and system bring-up.
• Ability to design and implement complex embedded architectures, from drivers to application-level modules.
• Proven track record of leading teams to deliver high-performance, production-ready firmware.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced environment.
• Familiarity with Rust or interest in adopting it for embedded applications.

• Background in embedded security practices.
• Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS).
• Knowledge of functional safety standards such as FuSa or ISO 26262.
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and automated test infrastructure.
• Understanding of networking protocols and integration in embedded systems.
• Hands-on FPGA development experience.
