Essential Responsibilities

• Engages in technical discussions; participates in technical designs and presents technical ideas through white boarding.
• Interact with a multi-discipline engineering team to meet the project requirements throughout its life cycle.
• Works closely with peers and keeps engaging in a fast pace technical design and development team.
• Responsible for designing, developing, and testing Embedded Software (Firmware), platforms and systems that control and runs on devices that need to be tailored to the needs of the hardware that it controls and run on. Typically requires a deep understanding of the characteristics of the physical device being controlled, the real-time functions it is expected to perform and the ability to design, develop, implement, and test the logic and software required to realize the real-time functionality. Executes standard operational/technical tasks typically subject to instructions and work routines.
• Design, develop, implement, and debug embedded software and/or firmware features/set of features for a small module or a large component of entire embedded software product.
• Executes in a fast-paced delivery mode and focuses in delivering tasks to meet the product release goal.
• Integrate software packages with existing systems and sub-systems.
• Prepare unit test and regression test specification, packages, and templates.
• Maintains code quality through best practices, code reviews and unit testing.
• Prepare formal and informal engineering documentation (e.g., Design documents, code reviews, Release reports etc.).

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Electronics Engineering.
• Minimum of 6 years of embedded development experience.

Desired Characteristics

• Familiar with Agile-SW development practices.
• Proficient in Real-Time Embedded Software Engineering in C/C++ on any embedded processor/DSP/Microcontroller and RTOS (e.g., VxWorks, FreeRTOS, Thread-X etc.), File system, Boot, Device drivers.
• Using emulators, simulators, and software analysis tools and Proficient in debugging code.
• Experience developing multi-threaded/ multi-tasking real time applications.
• Experience in using MATLAB/Simulink for Target Layer independence.
