About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Firmware Engineer to join a growing engineering organization developing advanced embedded display systems within complex electromechanical products.
This is a highly hands-on role centered on Embedded Linux development across both low-level system components and user-facing display layers. The ideal candidate brings strong experience with Qt-based UI development, including QML, and understands how to integrate modern touchscreen interfaces directly with board-level firmware and drivers.
You will play a key role in board bring-up, BSP development, bootloader integration, and driver implementation while also contributing to display framework architecture. This role requires comfort operating across the full embedded stack from PCB-level interaction and system initialization to Qt/QML-driven interface layers.
In addition to deep technical contribution, you will mentor junior engineers, help shape firmware standards, and influence long-term system architecture decisions within a collaborative product-focused environment.
What You ll Do
- Design and develop firmware for Embedded Linux-based platforms with touchscreen display interfaces
- Lead board bring-up activities including BSP development and low-level driver integration
- Develop and maintain bootloader functionality (e.g., U-Boot) and system initialization components
- Collaborate with hardware engineers on PCB-level integration and system validation
- Drive firmware architecture decisions across embedded Linux and RTOS-based subsystems
- Optimize firmware for performance, memory utilization, reliability, and power efficiency
- Conduct detailed code reviews and promote engineering best practices
- Mentor junior engineers in cross-compiling toolchains and embedded Linux driver development
- Partner with cross-functional teams (hardware, systems, UX, quality) to deliver high-quality integrated products
- Support secure update mechanisms and system resiliency in production environments
What We re Looking For
- 6+ years of embedded firmware development experience
- Strong proficiency in C and C++
- Deep experience with Embedded Linux development (kernel-level and driver-level exposure)
- Experience with Board Support Packages (BSP) and hardware abstraction
- Hands-on experience with bootloaders (U-Boot or similar)
- Experience with cross-compilation environments (Yocto or comparable build systems preferred)
- Experience with Qt and QML for embedded touchscreen interfaces
- Understanding of communication protocols such as CAN
- Knowledge of microcontroller and microprocessor architectures
- Familiarity with RTOS concepts and real-time system constraints
- Ability to influence system-level technical decisions
- Strong collaboration and communication skills
Bonus Skills (Nice to Have)
- Experience with embedded database management (e.g., SQL-based systems)
- Exposure to firmware update frameworks (e.g., SWUpdate or similar)
- Experience with scripting (Python) for automation and test tooling
- Experience working within regulated or standards-driven engineering environments
- Experience mentoring engineers and leading technical initiatives
