Embedded Software Engineer II

Quick Facts

• Role: Embedded Software Engineer II

• Focus: Safety-critical embedded firmware and platform integration (RTOS, bare-metal, and Embedded Linux)

Description

Own specific components of the embedded stack for safety devices, architecting and building real-time firmware that emphasizes reliability. You will design C/C++ firmware in RTOS environments (Zephyr, FreeRTOS) and on bare-metal targets, develop low-level drivers and board support, and interface RTOS devices with Embedded Linux user-space applications. You will also improve CI/CD test automation and collaborate to maintain IEC 61508-compliant development while keeping delivery velocity.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement robust C/C++ firmware for safety-critical embedded devices

• Architect RTOS-based firmware on Zephyr and FreeRTOS (tasks, scheduling, ISR handling, inter-task communication, memory/stack budgeting, deterministic timing analysis)

• Implement bare-metal bring-up and low-level peripheral drivers and board support code from reset vector to application

• Integrate across RTOS and Embedded Linux user space to ensure reliable communication and consistent product behavior

• Maintain and improve GitLab CI/CD pipelines to automate testing, including on-target and hardware-in-the-loop runs

• Debug complex hardware/software issues using JTAG/GDB; optimize for latency, power, and memory footprint

• Partner with the safety team to ensure code meets IEC 61508 requirements

Requirements

• 3–5 years of hands-on embedded software development with substantial RTOS or bare-metal experience

• Strong C skills; working proficiency in C++

• Production experience with Zephyr/FreeRTOS (scheduling, synchronization primitives, interrupt-driven design)

• Comfort with MCU peripherals, datasheets, reference manuals, linker scripts, and startup code

• Embedded Linux user-space familiarity sufficient to integrate and debug across the RTOS/Linux boundary

• Familiarity with IP networking and standard interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C, USB, CAN)

• Experience with Python for scripting/automation and familiarity with CI/CD workflows

• Debugging comfort using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and GDB

• B.S. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• Unlimited PTO

• Stock options

• 3% 401(k) match

• Paid holidays

• Parental leave
