Original job description

Embedded Software Engineer Responsibilities

Design and implement components, threads, and modules in modern C++ within an existing module, thread, and component framework.
Implement ETL-based state machines and lifecycle hooks that meet hard real-time deadlines on Cortex-M4F microcontrollers.
Develop, harden, and maintain Device Abstraction Layer drivers for interfaces such as SPI, I2C, USB, UART, GPIO, timers, and DMA on STM32G474 microcontrollers.
Extend and enhance the USB stack to support CCID and related functionality.
Perform memory, timing, and power optimizations, and validate against performance budgets using static analysis, profiling tools, and on-target measurement.
Implement robust error handling, fault recovery, and safety-tolerant patterns consistent with a no-exceptions, no-heap-after-initialization policy.
Work within a real-time operating system environment (with a strong preference for Zephyr) to integrate drivers, middleware, and application logic.
Apply secure coding practices and leverage your understanding of security-focused domains when designing and implementing firmware features.

Essential Skills

Strong proficiency in modern C++ with hands-on experience using C++17 or later, and the ability to write clean, maintainable, and standards-compliant code.
Experience in embedded firmware development, focusing on low-level microcontroller and driver development rather than application-level software.
Extensive experience developing firmware for microcontrollers, including driver-level work on interfaces such as UART, USB, SPI, and I2C.
Real-time operating system (RTOS) experience, with Zephyr RTOS highly preferred.
Experience working with USB, including extending or integrating USB stacks and handling USB-based communication protocols.
Experience with Embedded Template Library (ETL) and ETL-based state machines.
Experience developing on ARM Cortex-M class microcontrollers, specifically Cortex-M4F, and working with STM32G4-series devices.
Ability to implement and maintain Device Abstraction Layer drivers for peripherals such as SPI, I2C, USB, UART, GPIO, timers, and DMA.
Demonstrated ability to meet hard real-time deadlines and design firmware that satisfies strict timing and resource constraints.
Experience with memory, timing, and power optimization in embedded systems, including use of static analysis, profiling, and on-target measurement tools.
Ability to implement error handling and fault recovery strategies that adhere to a no-exceptions and no-heap-after-initialization policy.
Good understanding of security concepts and secure firmware development, ideally gained in security-focused domains.
Bachelors degree in Engineering or a related field.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience integrating firmware within larger embedded frameworks and collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams.
Familiarity with developing or extending CCID or similar USB-based protocols.
Comfort working independently on defined subsystems while aligning with existing architectural patterns and coding standards.
