Job Details

Embedded Software Engineer

We are seeking a Software Engineer with expertise in embedded systems development to design, build, and optimize software for custom hardware platforms. The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience in embedded firmware, low-level Android or Linux development, and STM32 microcontroller systems. Experience with FPGA platforms such as Gowin or Xilinx is a strong plus.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain embedded software and firmware for custom hardware platforms.

  • Implement, debug, and optimize functionality on STM32 microcontrollers and Qualcomm SoCs (e.g., AR2G2/1, XR2G2/3).

  • Collaborate closely with hardware engineers to ensure seamless integration between hardware and software components.

  • Develop and integrate solutions for FPGA platforms, including Gowin and Xilinx devices.

  • Troubleshoot and resolve software–hardware interaction issues across multiple embedded layers.

  • Participate in code reviews, testing, and system documentation to ensure software quality and reliability.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Proven experience in embedded software or firmware development using C/C++.

  • Hands-on experience with Qualcomm platforms and low-level system development.

  • Strong understanding of hardware abstraction layers (HAL) and software–hardware interfaces.

  • Solid debugging skills and familiarity with electronic engineering tools and methodologies.

  • Strong problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.

  • Effective communication and collaboration skills within cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and low-level driver development.

  • Hands-on experience with STM32 microcontroller systems.

  • Experience developing for FPGA platforms (Gowin, Xilinx).

  • Familiarity with hardware design, schematic review, and communication protocols such as SPI, I2C, and UART.

  • Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git).
