We are seeking a hands-on Embedded Firmware Engineer to design and develop production-grade firmware for IIoT wearable and industrial devices. This role involves working across microcontroller-based systems and Linux-based edge platforms, with end-to-end ownership from board bring-up to deployment. You will contribute to building innovative products such as smart wearables, connected IoT devices, and industrial safety systems, while ensuring performance, reliability, and scalability in real-world environments. This is an opportunity to work in a fast-paced, product-driven setup where you directly impact cutting-edge hardware solutions.
Requirements:
Key Responsibilities
• Develop and deliver firmware from concept to production for embedded and IoT devices
• Perform MCU bring-up, board debugging, and hardware validation
• Build and maintain RTOS-based or Embedded Linux systems
• Develop and optimize device drivers for interfaces like I2C, SPI, UART, etc.
• Integrate peripherals including sensors, cameras, audio modules, and LTE connectivity
• Implement bootloaders, OTA updates, and firmware upgrade mechanisms
• Debug field issues and optimize system performance across CPU, memory, and power consumption
• Support product testing, manufacturing, and deployment processes
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless hardware-software integration
What Makes You a Great Fit
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ programming for embedded systems
• Hands-on experience with RTOS or Embedded Linux environments
• Practical experience in hardware bring-up, debugging, and troubleshooting
• Solid understanding of ARM Cortex architectures (Cortex-M / Cortex-A)
• Knowledge of communication protocols and multithreading concepts
• Ability to read schematics and interpret datasheets effectively
• Experience working on real hardware products with end-to-end ownership
• Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills
• Exposure to tools like Yocto, Buildroot, or U-Boot is an added advantage
• Familiarity with BLE, Wi-Fi, LTE, or camera/audio systems is a plus
