About this role
About the assignmentWe are looking for an experienced Embedded Software Consultant to contribute to the development of a next-generation software platform for machine ECUs.In this assignment, you will focus on low-level embedded software and platform development, working close to microcontrollers (MCUs) and hardware. You will join a technically strong development team developing robust, reliable and deterministic software for real-time systems. This role is suitable for a senior embedded software engineer with strong expertise in C++, embedded platforms, hardware-level debugging and real-time software development.
Key responsibilities
- Develop, integrate and maintain low-level embedded software for ECU platforms.
- Work with microcontrollers, bootloaders, startup code, device drivers, hardware abstraction layers and RTOS.
- Analyze, troubleshoot and resolve complex hardware- and software-related issues.
- Perform hands-on debugging and verification on target hardware using debug probes, oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.
- Contribute to software architecture, implementation, integration and verification.
- Ensure reliable and deterministic software behavior in real-time environments.
- Collaborate with hardware and software engineers to resolve platform-level challenges.
Required qualifications
- Minimum 8 years of professional experience in embedded software development.
- Several years of hands-on experience in low-level embedded software and platform development.
- Strong knowledge of microcontrollers and embedded hardware.
- Experience with RTOS and/or bare-metal software development.
- Experience with bootloaders, startup code, memory management and hardware initialization.
- Good understanding of interrupts, real-time behavior and peripheral interfaces.
- Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills, including practical experience with target hardware and measurement equipment.
- Strong programming skills in C++ and experience with Python for scripting, automation and testing.
- Ability to analyze and solve complex hardware/software integration problems.
Meritorious qualificationsThe following experience is considered an advantage:
- Experience in automotive or other safety-critical embedded systems.
- Experience with ARM-based microcontrollers.
- Knowledge of CAN, CAN FD and automotive diagnostics.
- Experience with functional safety.
- Familiarity with modern software development practices, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD).
