Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer

Job Description

Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer

Experience: 35 Years

Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer with 35 years of hands-on experience in microcontroller-based product development. The ideal candidate should have strong expertise in Embedded C programming, MCU low-level programming, and embedded firmware development in bare-metal and layered architectures.

The role involves development of production-quality firmware for microcontroller platforms, including peripheral driver development, hardware interfacing, debugging, and integration within MCAL/HAL/BSP-based systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop embedded firmware for microcontroller-based systems
• Perform register-level programming and hardware configuration
• Develop and integrate peripheral drivers (GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, ADC, PWM, Timers)
• Configure interrupts, clock systems, memory mapping, and linker scripts
• Work with MCAL, HAL, and BSP layers in structured architectures
• Debug firmware using JTAG, GDB, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers
• Conduct unit testing, integration testing, and system validation
• Ensure compliance with coding standards and quality processes
• Participate in design reviews, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration

Mandatory Technical Skills

• Strong hands-on experience in Embedded C
• Microcontroller firmware development in bare-metal environments
• MCU low-level programming and peripheral configuration
• Solid understanding of memory management and linker scripts
• Experience with UART, SPI, I2C, and CAN communication protocols
• Exposure to MCAL / HAL / BSP concepts
• Experience with build systems such as Make or CMake
• Understanding of cross-compilation toolchains (GCC / ARM)
• Proficiency in Git version control
• Experience using static analysis tools
• Exposure to MISRA-C guidelines (preferred in safety domains)
• Experience working in V-cycle development environments

Good to Have

• Experience with RTOS (FreeRTOS, QNX, or similar)
• Bootloader understanding (U-Boot or custom bootloaders)
• Embedded Linux fundamentals
• Device Tree configuration (Linux-based systems)
• IPC mechanisms in Linux or QNX environments
• Exposure to automotive or safety-compliant systems

Educational Qualification

Bachelors or Masters degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline.
