Software Build & Low-Layer Development Engineer (Embedded Systems)

We are seeking a highly skilled engineer to lead and manage a global software build process supporting the development of low-level embedded software. This role is integral to the research, design, development, and testing of foundational software layers-such as OS integration, I/O drivers, boot code, and more-that interface directly with a broad range of electronic control units (ECECMs) used by our client.

This position is responsible for building and documenting software releases and, at times, contributing directly to low-level software development. The engineer will play a key role in maintaining and evolving the CI/CD pipeline, supporting robust version control and configuration management practices, and ensuring integration with embedded hardware platforms.

• Build, test, and release production-grade software builds for embedded systems.
• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines and supporting automation tools/scripts.
• Evaluate and integrate new scripting languages, tools, and build processes.
• Manage software versioning and lifecycle via configuration management systems.
• Collaborate with developers and tech leads to design and implement pipeline and software solutions.
• Occasionally develop embedded low-layer software (I/O drivers, bootloaders, OS integration, etc.).
• Analyze requirements, perform design decomposition, and support system integration.
• Communicate technical concepts clearly with team members, customers, suppliers, and stakeholders.
• Support debugging, unit testing, regression testing, and documentation.
• Engage with physical hardware and related test activities, which require onsite presence.

Education & Experience Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field required.
• 5-7 years of relevant industry experience.
• Master's degree or higher with relevant internships or project experience may be considered toward minimum requirements.

Disqualifiers:

Candidates with primary experience in test engineering or controls engineering will not be a fit for this role. Such experience may be part of a broader background but should not dominate the candidate's resume. The core competencies listed above must be clearly demonstrated in the majority of prior roles.

• Strong experience with Jenkins or equivalent CI/CD platforms.
• Proficiency with Git version control systems (ClearCase experience is a plus).
• Bash shell scripting experience preferred.
• In-depth experience with real-time embedded device driver development.
• Skilled in debugging using tools such as oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.
• Familiarity with SPI, I2C, and other peripheral interfaces.
• Experience with embedded system diagnostics, OS configuration, and board bring-up.
• Hands-on experience with RTOS, ANSI C, Python, and modern embedded development practices.
• Understanding of control software design patterns and real-time systems.
• Familiarity with Agile software development methodologies.

Soft Skills Required:

• Strong verbal and written communication abilities.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical thinking.
• Effective interpersonal and customer service skills.
• Ability to interpret schematics and component datasheets.
• Capable of independently troubleshooting and resolving complex system issues.
