BUILD THE NEXT GENERATION OF SMART INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS

We are looking for an experienced Senior Firmware Developer to take ownership of embedded firmware architecture and development for next-generation industrial, automotive and IoT-enabled products.

This is a high-impact opportunity for an engineer who enjoys working close to the hardware, processor, RTOS, Embedded Linux and product architecture and wants to build reliable, secure and production-ready embedded systems.

You will work across firmware architecture, RTOS, Embedded Linux, hardware bring-up, communication protocols, secure boot, firmware updates and embedded cybersecurity, while collaborating closely with hardware, cloud and application teams.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

Embedded Firmware Development

- Architect, design and develop robust embedded firmware using Embedded C/C++.
- Develop firmware for STM32, NXP, ARM Cortex-M and Cortex-A platforms.
- Develop real-time applications using FreeRTOS / Azure RTOS.
- Perform firmware architecture reviews, optimization and code-quality improvements.

Embedded Linux & Processor Development
- Work on Embedded Linux, Yocto Project and BSP development.
- Customize and integrate Linux device drivers and system components.
- Work with NXP i.MX6/i.MX8/i.MX9, Cortex-A and similar application processors.
- Develop and customize U-Boot / bootloader solutions.
- Support processor-level performance optimization and system debugging.

Communication & Industrial Connectivity Develop and optimize communication stacks involving:

CAN | FDCAN | UART | SPI | I2C | RS232 | RS485

Exposure to Modbus, MQTT, TCP/IP, BLE, Wi-Fi or automotive diagnostics will be highly valuable.

Embedded Security





Build security into the product from the firmware level:

- Secure Boot and Chain of Trust
- Firmware signing and verification
- Secure firmware updates / OTA / FOTA
- AES-256 / SHA
- PKI and certificate-based authentication
- mbedTLS / embedded cryptographic libraries
- Secure provisioning and device authentication
- Key management and secure storage
- TPM / HSM / Secure Element exposure

Hardware Bring-Up & Debugging
- Perform PCB and board bring-up.
- Debug hardware/software integration issues.
- Work with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG/SWD and CAN analysis tools.
- Analyze CAN communication using PCAN Analyzer / CAN Bus Analyzer.
- Validate high-speed interfaces including DDR, eMMC, SD Card, Ethernet, USB and PCIe.

Quality & Engineering Excellence
- Follow MISRA C and secure coding practices.
- Perform static code analysis and resolve code-quality issues.
- Conduct design reviews, code reviews and technical documentation.
- Mentor junior firmware engineers and contribute to engineering best practices.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND WE ARE LOOKING FOR Candidates from the following industries are strongly preferred:

Priority Industries

Foundry | Die Casting | Automotive | Industrial Equipment | Pumps | Valves

Particularly valuable if you have developed firmware for:

- Industrial controllers
- Smart machines / equipment
- Motor or pump controllers
- Valve control systems
- Automotive ECUs / controllers
- Industrial IoT gateways
- Edge controllers
- Power electronics
- Connected industrial equipment
- Automation and monitoring systems
- Sensor-based industrial products





THE IDEAL CANDIDATE We are looking for someone who has:
- 8-12 years of hands-on Embedded Firmware/Embedded Software experience.
- Strong Embedded C programming expertise.
- Hands-on experience with STM32 / NXP / ARM processors.
- Experience with FreeRTOS / Azure RTOS.
- Solid Embedded Linux + Yocto + BSP experience.
- Experience with Bootloader / U-Boot.
- Strong knowledge of CAN/FDCAN and embedded communication protocols.
- Experience with Secure Boot, firmware security and OTA/FOTA.
- Hands-on hardware bring-up and debugging experience.
- Knowledge of MISRA C and static analysis.
- Strong understanding of embedded product development lifecycle.
- Excellent problem-solving and cross-functional communication skills.

Education Bachelor's or Master's degree in:

Electronics | Electrical Engineering | Embedded Systems | E&TC; | Computer Engineering | Related Engineering Discipline

COMPENSATION

CTC: Up to 17 LPA

Flexible for exceptional candidates with highly relevant experience.

We are willing to evaluate candidates beyond the stated range where there is a strong match across Embedded Linux, Yocto, NXP, RTOS, Secure Boot and embedded cybersecurity.

WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY?

This isn't a routine firmware maintenance role.

You will get the opportunity to work on real industrial and connected products, influence firmware architecture, work directly with hardware and processors, solve complex embedded challenges, and contribute to the development of secure, intelligent and next-generation industrial systems.

If you are an Embedded Firmware Engineer who enjoys going beyond application coding and working across Firmware + RTOS + Linux + Hardware + Security, we want to hear from you.
