Embedded Software Engineer

Role Overview
We are looking for a skilled Firmware Engineer to design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware for custom hardware platforms used in CNC controller systems. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in real-time systems, hardware bring-up, and communication protocols, along with a solid understanding of embedded Linux workflows.
Key Responsibilities
Design and develop embedded firmware for custom boards used in CNC controllers
Work with FreeRTOS for real-time application development
Implement and debug communication protocols such as UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, and Serial interfaces
Develop and integrate CAN-based communication systems (mandatory)
Work on board bring-up, hardware validation, and debugging at the system level
Collaborate with hardware engineers during schematic and PCB design phases
Optimize firmware for performance, memory usage, and reliability
Debug low-level issues using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and debuggers
Develop and maintain documentation for firmware and system design
Follow a Linux-based development workflow (build systems, toolchains, scripting, etc.)
Required Skills & Qualifications
3+ years of experience in embedded firmware development
Strong proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems
Hands-on experience with FreeRTOS (mandatory)
