Qualifications

• Experience: 10+ years of hands-on embedded software engineering experience delivering production-grade firmware for safety-critical or resource-constrained platforms (Automotive, Aerospace, Medical Devices, Industrial Robotics, or Consumer Electronics).
• C/C++ Mastery: Expert proficiency in embedded C and modern embedded C++, with deep knowledge of memory models, low-level concurrency, compiler optimization behaviors, and deterministic execution.
• RTOS Architecture Depth: Proven track record architecting, tuning, and debugging production multi-threaded software on commercial or open-source RTOS platforms, including formal timing analysis and synchronization primitives.
• Static Analysis Governance: Extensive hands-on experience with enterprise static analysis tools (Coverity, Polyspace, QAC, or Cppcheck), including establishing rulesets, resolving complex findings, and managing defensible suppressions.
• Full-Stack Hardware Literacy: Strong architectural understanding of modern MCU/SoC architectures (ARM Cortex-M/R, TriCore, or similar), register-level programming, memory-mapped I/O, and automotive buses (CAN-FD, Ethernet, SPI, I2C).
• Bring-Up Leadership: Demonstrated success leading board bring-up in a hardware lab, utilizing oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and bus analyzers to diagnose board- and silicon-level defects.
• Regulated Safety Track Record: Practical experience developing and delivering software under a regulated safety framework (ISO 26262, IEC 62304, DO-178C) with strict traceability to requirements.
• Modern Build & CI Tooling: Proficiency with Git, Bazel (or modern build systems), and automated CI/CD pipelines for firmware build verification and automated testing.

Preferred Qualifications

• Automotive Stacks & Diagnostics: Deep familiarity with ISO 14229 (UDS), SOME/IP, DoIP, or automotive Ethernet communication stacks.
• Multi-Core & Security: Experience architecting multi-core microcontroller solutions, Hardware Security Modules (HSM), or secure boot implementations.
• Communication Protocol Design: Experience designing, implementing, and validating custom or standardized protocol state machines, serialization layers, and fault-recovery logic.
• Object-Oriented Architecture: Proven ability to apply structured OOP design patterns, clean interface abstractions, and data encapsulation in embedded C++ contexts.
• Automation & Tooling: Proficiency in Python for developing internal bring-up tooling, HIL automation, or custom build/test scripts.
