Job Description
You will be responsible for defining and evolving the low-level software architecture for critical embedded systems with strong operational constraints. You will be involved in the entire lifecycle: architecture, specifications, low-level development guidance, integration, industrialization, and continuous improvement. You will contribute to various industrial projects: intelligent mobility, energy, industrial IoT, robotics, medical devices, telecom/edge computing, transport, automation, professional electronics, etc. In this context, your missions will include:
- Defining the low-level software architecture: bootloader (e.g., U-Boot), kernel/RTOS, partitions, drivers, HAL, and middleware interfaces.
- Specifying requirements (performance, latency, determinism, consumption) and managing safety/security/performance trade-offs.
- Choosing and justifying architectural patterns (partitioning, embedded micro-services, IPC, real-time scheduling, multi-core).
- Guiding low-level C/C++ development and reviews (MISRA/CERT, static analysis, coverage).
- Industrializing: continuous integration, reproducible artifacts, traceability, and software supply chain (SBOM).
- Ensuring compliance with referentials according to projects.
- Technical support for pre-sales/RFQ and mentoring development & integration teams.
Technical Environment
- Languages: C/C++, (Rust appreciated)
- OS/RTOS: Real-time Linux (PREEMPT_RT), VxWorks, PikeOS, RTEMS, FreeRTOS
- Boot & Drivers: U-Boot, device tree, HAL/SDK manufacturers
- Processors/µC/SoC: ARM Cortex-M/R/A, multi-core SoC, DSP; FPGA/SoC interfaces
- Bus & I/O: CAN/CAN-FD, ARINC 429/653, AFDX, SpaceWire, MIL-STD-1553, SPI/I2C/UART, Ethernet TSN
- Tools/Qualif: Git, CMake, Yocto/Buildroot, Jenkins/GitLab CI, static analysis (PC-lint/CPP-check), DOORS/Polarion, Jira/Confluence, HW-in-the-Loop tests
Candidate Profile
Graduated from an engineering school or equivalent (Master's degree)
- Over 15 years of experience in low-level embedded software development and/or architecture.
- Expertise in one of the industry domains.
- Proficiency in RTOS/Real-time Linux, drivers, BSP, boot chain, and real-time constraints.
- Solid understanding of functional safety (DAL/ASIL/SIL depending on context).
- Advanced English (written/spoken).
- Eligible for defense clearance (Secret level or equivalent, depending on the project).
3 Reasons to Join Us
- Quality of Work Life: Telework agreement in France and internationally, agreement on professional equality, parenthood, work-life balance, and sustainable mobility.
- Continuous Learning: Free access to certifications and training, personalized support with your career manager, 9-month integration program.
- Group & CSE Benefits: Share ownership plan, discounted activities, partial vacation reimbursement, reimbursement of sports or cultural subscriptions.
