Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer

Role overview

We are hiring a Senior Embedded Firmware Engineer for an offshore mixed-signal engineering team in Mysuru. The position focuses on the interface between hardware behavior and software control, with work centered on creating deterministic real-time firmware used in advanced hardware emulation systems. The role involves simulating electrical behavior such as V-I trajectories and building reliable low-level software that can run close to the hardware.

What you will do

• Develop firmware for real-time systems that must behave predictably and consistently.
• Create software models that reproduce complex electrical characteristics for emulation platforms.
• Write modern, maintainable, memory-safe C++ code for embedded targets.
• Work at both the application and hardware-adjacent layers, including linker scripts, register-level drivers, and RTOS-based software.
• Contribute to software architecture, design, debugging, validation, and completion of development projects.
• Collaborate with cross-functional and global teams to deliver engineering goals.

Technical profile expected

• Strong command of C++ and solid understanding of computing fundamentals.
• Good grasp of software design and architecture, object-oriented programming, systems programming, computer architecture, and operating systems.
• Hands-on experience developing on microcontrollers or microprocessors such as ARM Cortex-M/R/A, RISC-V, or STM32.
• Deep familiarity with hard real-time operating systems such as FreeRTOS, Zephyr, QNX, or VxWorks.
• Working knowledge of low-level embedded Linux, including Yocto-based environments or embedded Linux systems.
• Comfort with memory debugging and profiling tools such as Valgrind and GDB.
• Experience with automated unit testing frameworks such as GTest.

Good-to-have experience

• Background in Windows driver development.
• Exposure to Linux kernel-mode and user-mode driver development.
• Familiarity with debugging tools like WinDBG on Windows and Linux debugging utilities.
• Experience using Python for scripting or automation.
• Exposure to Agile delivery practices.

Preferred strengths

• Strong problem-solving ability and initiative.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Ownership of goals, schedules, and end-to-end task completion.
• Capability to work effectively across teams and with global stakeholders.

Eligibility

This opportunity is open to candidates with a B.Tech / B.E. in Electronics or Electrical Engineering. The role is aligned to the industrial products domain.
