Role Summary
We are seeking a skilled Embedded Software Engineer with strong expertise in FreeRTOS/bare-metal development to support next-generation automotive ECU platforms. This role involves hands-on development, board bring-up, and low-level driver implementation in a non-AUTOSAR environment.
The ideal candidate will have a solid foundation in embedded C programming, hardware-software integration, and automotive communication protocols, along with the ability to work closely with cross-functional teams and customers.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop embedded software for automotive ECU platforms using Embedded C/C++
- Design and implement solutions in bare-metal and RTOS environments (FreeRTOS/Zephyr)
- Perform board bring-up, hardware validation, and debugging
- Develop and integrate low-level device drivers (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, ADC, PWM)
- Collaborate with hardware teams for system integration and issue resolution
- Conduct low-level debugging using tools such as JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers
- Support integration of communication protocols such as CAN and LIN
- Participate in design reviews, architecture discussions, and technical decisions
- Prepare and maintain technical documentation (design specs, debug reports, integration notes)
- Interface with customers for technical discussions and status updates
- Ensure adherence to automotive quality standards and best practices
Required Skills & Qualifications
- 3–5 years of experience in embedded software development

- Strong understanding of microcontrollers (STM32, NXP, or similar)
- Experience in device driver development
- Familiarity with CAN and LIN communication protocols
- Proficiency in low-level debugging tools (JTAG, oscilloscope, etc.)
- Experience working in non-AUTOSAR environments (mandatory)
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Preferred / Good to Have
- Exposure to Automotive Ethernet
- Basic understanding of Functional Safety (ISO 26262, ASIL)
- Knowledge of Embedded Linux systems
- Experience with zonal ECU architectures
- Familiarity with proprietary toolchains and development ecosystems
Behavioral Competencies
- Strong ownership and accountability
- Ability to work independently as a key technical contributor
- Effective communication with internal teams and customers
- Structured approach to documentation and reporting
Education
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical, Embedded Systems, or Computer Engineering
