Embedded Software Engineer

We are working with a leading US manufacturer of professional audio and RF equipment trusted across film, broadcast, live events, and other mission-critical environments. I’m hiring an Embedded Software Engineer to take a leading role in the design and delivery of complex embedded systems for next-generation, high-reliability products. Info about what the Embedded Software Engineer role entails This is a hands-on senior role suited to someone who enjoys owning substantial pieces of an embedded system, working closely with hardware and FPGA engineers, and driving designs from concepts through production. Key Responsibilities: Design, develop, and maintain embedded software in C and C++ for professional audio and RF products Lead major firmware or embedded software components from architecture and implementation through release and long-term support. Collaborate closely with FPGA and hardware teams to define interfaces, integrate software with FPGA logic, and optimize system-level performance. Develop and debug low-level software including device drivers, boot processes, and hardware abstraction layers. Work across embedded Linux and RTOS-based systems, balancing real-time behaviour, reliability, and performance. Support board bring-up, debugging, and validation using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG-based tools. Participate in system architecture discussions and contribute to technical decision-making Provide technical guidance and mentorship to other engineers on the team.   Essential Requirements of a Embedded Software Engineer Significant professional experience developing embedded software in C and C++ for production systems. Strong hands-on experience with embedded Linux and real-time operating systems. Deep understanding of low-level device programming, hardware interfaces, and real-time data handling. Experience integrating embedded software with FPGA-based systems, including register-level communication and performance optimization. Proven ability to take ownership of complex technical work and drive it through multiple development phases. Desirable Requirements of a Embedded Software Engineer Experience with Xilinx FPGAs or MicroBlaze-based systems. Prior experience in professional audio, RF, or other high-reliability or signal-processing domains. Background in improving system performance, boot time, or overall reliability. Experience mentoring or acting as a technical lead within an engineering team.
