固件工程师

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and implement embedded software for bare-metal systems with a focus on performance, reliability, and resource efficiency.
• Develop, test, and debug low-level device drivers, peripheral interfaces, and communication protocols directly on microcontrollers or microprocessors.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to define software/hardware integration requirements and support board bring-up, hardware validation, and troubleshooting.
• Write efficient and maintainable code in C/C++ (and assembly as needed) for microcontrollers, memory-constrained, and real-time systems.
• Utilize oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and other debug tools to analyze and resolve hardware/software integration issues.
• Develop and execute unit-level, integration-level, and system-level tests to verify correct operation and performance of embedded firmware.
• Participate in code reviews to ensure adherence to coding standards, best practices, and design guidelines for bare-metal environments.
• Maintain comprehensive documentation of software architecture, interfaces, and procedures for future maintenance and scalability.
• Analyze and optimize system performance, power consumption, and memory utilization.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define product requirements, identify technical risks, and ensure timely delivery of high-quality embedded solutions.

Must Have

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Electronics, or Electrical Engineering.
• At least 3 years of experience in embedded systems development.
• Deep understanding of embedded system design, including C/C++ memory management, microprocessor architecture, instruction efficiency, and I/O timing.
• Proficiency in debugging tools and techniques for embedded systems.
• Demonstrated ability to identify and improve low-level system performance issues using strong problem-solving skills.
• Experience with scripting languages and build systems.
• Adherence to established development processes for all design and implementation activities.
• Experience working with quality assurance teams to define test cases for new features and regression testing areas.
• Hands-on experience with board bring-up and debugging using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, or JTAG in collaboration with hardware engineers.
• Experience reviewing peer code for adherence to coding standards and design guidelines.
• Fluency in English, both spoken and written.
• Ability to work in a hybrid arrangement (office in Ware).

Preferred

• Programming languages: Python scripting for test automation, data analysis, or rapid prototyping.
• Processors: ARM.
• Robotics control: Experience or strong interest in robotics control programming is a significant advantage.
• DevOps and CI/CD: Familiarity with automated testing and continuous integration pipelines.
• Proficiency in reading schematics.
