About the assignment

We 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 qualifications

The 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).
