Lead Embedded Systems Software Engineer

Architecture and Technical Leadership

• Translate product requirements into clear system-level software architecture.

• Define software interfaces, data flows, and module boundaries across the embedded stack.

• Make and own key technical decisions. Document them clearly for the team.

• Identify risks early and drive solutions before they become blockers.

Hands-on Development

• Write, review, and maintain production firmware in C/C++ (and Rust where applicable).

• Develop drivers, middleware, and application logic for sensor-rich embedded platforms.

• Work with Zephyr RTOS across multiple MCU families (STM32, Nordic nRF, ESP32).

• Use West and CMake to manage builds, module dependencies, and board configurations.

• Debug firmware using JTAG, SWD, logic analyzers, and oscilloscopes.

• Integrate and validate sensors including IMUs, accelerometers, and gyroscopes.

• Implement and optimize networking stacks - BLE, Thread, and Wi-Fi.

• Design and maintain backend communication protocols for reliable edge-to-cloud data transfer.

Test and Quality

• Write automated unit and integration tests before or alongside feature code.

• Build and maintain HIL (hardware-in-the-loop) and SIL (software-in-the-loop) test frameworks.

• Set team standards for test coverage, static analysis, and CI/CD pipelines.

• Perform code reviews with a focus on correctness, safety, and long-term maintainability.

Team Leadership

• Lead a small team of embedded engineers. Set clear goals and unblock day-to-day work.

• Mentor engineers through design reviews, pair programming, and direct feedback.

• Collaborate with hardware, systems, and product teams to align on requirements.

• Contribute to hiring - interview candidates and help define the team's technical bar.
