What you need
- Expert-level C and/or C++ for embedded systems
- Strong command of communication protocols (SPI, UART, I2C, CAN, TCP/UDP)
- Experience developing on RTOS environments (e.g., PX5, embedded Linux, QNX, VxWorks, RTEMS)
- Experience with MCU bootloaders, device drivers, and new board or SoC bring-up
- Experience deploying firmware to multi-device systems in a power-safe, fault-tolerant way
- Demonstrated speed and size optimization for resource-constrained platforms
Nice to have
- Experience in automotive and/or transit domains
- Experience with automotive-grade safety MCUs (e.g., NXP S32K3, Infineon AURIX, TI TMS570)
- Familiarity with kernel internals and low-level OS concepts
- Experience with deterministic timing and networking (NTP, PTP, time-sensitive networking)
- Experience with CAN tooling and DBC-based workflows
Worth weighing
- No salary listed
- Focus on safety-critical systems may require rigorous standards and processes
- The role may involve significant collaboration across various engineering disciplines
- Experience in the automotive or transit domains is preferred but not mandatory
