Job Details
Position Title: Embedded Engineer
Location: Mossville, IL
Duration: 10 months
Must Have Skills: BASH, Embedded Engineer, GIT, Python
Job Description:
Required Education:
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a highly relevant Computer Science degree
Must-Haves (Non-Negotiable):
• Experience: 5-8 years of professional experience in real-time embedded systems
o Low-Level Device Drivers: Proven experience writing device drivers that interact directly with hardware
o Hardware Interfacing: Hands-on experience with protocols like SPI/I2C and components like non-volatile memory
o Programming Languages: High proficiency in ANSI C and experience with version control, specifically Git
o Debugging: Ability to use hardware tools like oscilloscopes for troubleshooting
Nice-to-Haves (Preferred):
• Experience with Clearcase (another version control system)
• Familiarity with Python and Bash scripting
• Knowledge of Agile development processes
• Experience with Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS)
Required Soft Skills:
• Strong problem-solving and analytical abilities
• Excellent verbal and written communication
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment
• Capable of reading and interpreting schematics and component data sheets
Job Responsibilities:
• Design and implement software of embedded devices and systems from requirements to production and commercial deployment for product lines
• Write and code logical and physical database descriptions and specify identifiers of database to management system or direct others in coding descriptions
• Analyze and enhance efficiency, stability and scalability of system resources
• Review project requests describing database user needs to estimate time and cost required to accomplish project
The core function of this role is low-level embedded software development. You will be designing, coding, and testing software that directly interfaces with hardware components (like displays and telematics) for Caterpillar's products. This is not a role focused on high-level applications, cloud, or web development.
