• Develop embedded software using C and, where applicable, C++.
• Work with bare-metal and RTOS-based environments, including FreeRTOS.
• Develop and maintain communication functionality using RS485 and wireless technologies.
• Contribute to low-power, real-time and resource-efficient solutions.
• Participate in hardware-software integration and system and firmware architecture discussions.
• Troubleshoot technical issues; perform root-cause analysis, debugging and bug fixing.
• Use SWD/JTAG debuggers, logic analyzers and oscilloscopes.
• Contribute to secure boot and secure firmware-update mechanisms.
• Support verification, validation, certification and production activities.
• Prepare and maintain technical documentation, design specifications and development guidelines.
• Collaborate with Product Management, Hardware Engineering, QA, Compliance, Cybersecurity and distributed engineering teams.
• Improve engineering processes, tools and development practices.
