Staff Embedded Platform Engineer

You will own core platform firmware for a distributed embedded system of multiple microcontrollers, building reusable drivers, services, and test infrastructure on Zephyr RTOS.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement reusable platform software across a multi-MCU distributed embedded system, favouring clean driver/service abstractions and portable component interfaces.
• Architect and implement device reliability infrastructure from the ground up, including watchdog and task-supervision design.
• Own real-time Ethernet communication, including 10BASE-T1S with PLCA, IEEE 1588/PTP time synchronization, and UDP transport.
• Develop and maintain custom serial protocols over UART, I2C, and SPI.
• Specify, design, implement, and test both bare-metal and RTOS low-level firmware.
• Build component test infrastructure.
• Resolve ambiguity in requirements, specifications, and hardware/vendor documentation.
• Bring up hardware and debug at bench and hardware-in-the-loop level.
• Define and implement system-level power, compute, and communication requirements.
• Profile power, CPU, and bus utilization at the submodule and system level.
• Collaborate with verification and validation teams to build comprehensive test plans.
• Interface with external silicon/module vendors.
• Maintain clear, concise documentation of design decisions, driver/service APIs, and firmware architecture.
• Replace temporary or placeholder subsystems with long-term, maintainable architectures.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or Computer Engineering.
• 10+ years of relevant embedded development experience in C.
• Hands-on experience in both bare-metal and RTOS environments.
• Experience authoring and maintaining automated firmware test suites.
• Experience with issue-tracking and documentation tools.
• Knowledge of electrical engineering fundamentals.
