The Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled Sr Embedded Software Engineer (Python & C++) to manage and improve the software development lifecycle for device firmware systems. The primary focus of this role is to ensure firmware operational reliability, fail-secure implementation, certification compliance, and robust production deployment.

This role is ideal for an engineer experienced in system-level software, firmware validation, testing automation, and production readiness — but not focused on low-level hardware design.

Experience: 6-10 years

Job Location: Hyderabad

Job Type: Permanent

CORE FOCUS AREAS

• Ensure firmware operates reliably in production environments

• Implement and validate fail-safe mechanisms and fallback logic

• Maintain certification compliance across firmware releases

• Drive robust, repeatable production deployment pipelines

• Support field debugging and OTA update validation

IDEAL CANDIDATE PROFILE

• Strong hands-on experience in Python and C++ development

• Background in system-level software and firmware validation

• Experience with testing automation and production readiness

• Comfortable working closely with embedded engineers

• Not required to have low-level hardware design expertise

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

FIRMWARE OPERATIONAL STABILITY
