Senior Embedded Platform Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain real-time firmware architecture for safety-critical embedded control platforms
• Own timing-sensitive firmware layers, interrupt structure, task scheduling, and deterministic data flow
• Develop firmware frameworks for reusable control execution, communication, and diagnostics
• Develop and maintain embedded software in C/C++ on real-time microcontroller platforms like TI C2000 or NXP
• Own board support packages (BSPs), peripheral initialization, and low-level hardware abstraction layers
• Develop and debug drivers for peripherals including CAN, SPI, Ethernet, ADC, PWM, and GPIO
• Support hardware bring-up, board validation, and low-level debugging
• Implement robust communication infrastructure for aerospace or automotive buses like ARINC 825
• Develop test hooks, debug interfaces, and automation support for HIL and SIL testing
• Contribute to certification readiness activities aligned with standards such as DO-178C or ISO 26262

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience developing embedded firmware for complex real-time systems
• Strong proficiency in embedded C/C++ and real-time firmware architecture
• Experience with real-time microcontroller platforms (TI C2000, NXP, or comparable)
• Deep understanding of MCU peripherals, interrupts, timers, watchdogs, and memory
• Hands-on experience with communication protocols such as CAN, SPI, Ethernet, or ARINC 825
• Proven ability to integrate and debug software across hardware and system boundaries
• Experience supporting hardware bring-up and HIL testing

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior work on safety-critical or regulated systems in aerospace, automotive, or industrial sectors
• Exposure to certification processes like DO-178C, ARP4754/4761, or ISO 26262
• Experience developing reusable BSPs, drivers, and middleware
• Background in motor drives, BMS, power electronics, or vehicle control systems
