Embedded Software Engineer / Firmware Engineer --Bangalore/Hyderabad

Role- Embedded Software Engineer / Firmware Engineer C++ with Python/Perl Automation

Location- Bangalore/Hyderabad

1 year C2H

Job Summary

We are seeking a hands-on Embedded Software Engineer with deep expertise in C++, Python, Perl, and embedded systems fundamentals. In this role, you will design, develop, test, and optimize firmware/software for resource-constrained devices and platforms (MCUs/MPUs), build automation/test tooling, and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver robust, high-quality embedded solutions. The ideal candidate is comfortable working close to hardware (drivers, BSP, middleware), fluent in modern C++ practices, and pragmatic about using scripting (Python/Perl) to accelerate development, CI/CD, and validation.

Key Responsibilities

• Design & Development
• Architect, implement, and maintain embedded software/firmware in C++
  
  for microcontrollers or Linux-based embedded platforms.
• Develop device drivers, communication stacks (SPI/I2C/UART/CAN/Ethernet), and middleware as needed.
• Optimize for performance, memory footprint, and power consumption.
• System Integration
• Work closely with hardware, validation, and product teams to bring up boards, debug issues with oscilloscopes/logic analyzers, and support system-level integration.
• Participate in code/design reviews, perform root-cause analysis, and drive defects to closure.
• Delivery & Process
• Contribute to continuous integration pipelines (build, test, packaging).
• Create and maintain technical documentationdesign specs, API docs, test plans, and release notes.
• Champion best practices for code quality, safety, reliability, and security.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelors or Masters in Computer Science, Electronics, Electrical, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Programming:
• Strong proficiency in C++ (11/14/17) for embedded contexts (const correctness, RAII, templates, STL in constrained environments).
• Strong scripting with Python (pytest/unittest, argparse, asyncio/threads, serial, numpy/pandas for analysis).

  Working experience with Perl for legacy automation, parsing, tooling, infrastructure scripts.
• Embedded Expertise:
• Experience with microcontrollers (e.g., ARM Cortex-M/R/A) or Embedded Linux (Yocto/Buildroot, device tree, ystem).
• Familiarity with RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, ThreadX, Zephyr) and interrupt-driven design.
• Hands-on with communication protocols: I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, USB, TCP/IP.
• Tools & Process:
• Proficient with Git, Cmake/Make, GCC/Clang, cross-compilers, JTAG/SWD debuggers (e.g., Segger, OpenOCD).
• Solid understanding of software testing, CI/CD (Jenkins/GitLab CI/GitHub Actions), and code quality tools (static/dynamic analysis, sanitizers, coverage).
• Core Skills: Strong debugging, problem-solving, and system thinking; excellent collaboration and communication.
