Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop software for embedded Linux platforms using Python.
  • Design and implement software interfaces for hardware peripherals and system components.
  • Integrate and validate communication interfaces and device functionality.
  • Investigate, debug, and resolve software and hardware integration issues.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
  • Utilize AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity and software quality.
  • Document software design and implementation.

Requirements

  • B.Sc. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • 3+ years of software development experience with Embedded Python/C++ programming skills and tools development.
  • Hands-on experience working with Embedded Linux environments.
  • Experience interfacing with hardware devices and peripherals through software.
  • Ability to read hardware specifications and datasheets and implement software APIs accordingly.
  • Understanding of low-level communication protocols such as I2C, SPI, UART, and Ethernet.
  • Practical experience using modern AI-assisted development tools (such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor, or similar) as part of the software development workflow.
  • Strong troubleshooting, debugging, and investigative skills.
  • Self-driven engineer capable of independently driving technical investigations, identifying information gaps, and collaborating with stakeholders to resolve them.

Advantages:

  • Experience developing hardware diagnostics, validation, test, or board bring-up tools for embedded systems – big advanate.
