Embedded EngineerExperience: ~2 years Location: [On site , Electronics City -Bangalore ] Type: Full-time

Read this firstThis is a startup. Things break, specs change mid-sprint, and you'll often be the only person standing between "it should work" and "it works on the actual board at 11pm." If you like hard problems, want real ownership from day one, and don't need someone checking your work every step — apply. If you're looking for a well-defined role with explicit boundaries and low ambiguity, this probably isn't it. Please don't apply otherwise — it'll be a bad fit for both of us.

What you'll do
Own firmware development end-to-end — from architecture to bring-up to field debugging
Build and maintain applications on Zephyr RTOS / FreeRTOS across our product line
Work directly with hardware — bring up current boards, debug at the register/oscilloscope level, and work closely with the hardware team on schematic/layout reviews
Write drivers for sensors, communication peripherals, and custom hardware
Own power management, boot flows, and OTA update pipelines
Debug production issues that show up only in the field — and ship the fix
Make real architectural calls with minimal oversight, and live with the consequences

What you need
~2 years of hands-on embedded systems experience




Solid working experience with Zephyr RTOS or FreeRTOS — device tree/Kconfig and driver-level work on Zephyr, or equivalent hands-on RTOS experience with FreeRTOS — this is non-negotiable
Strong C, comfortable with C++
Real experience with peripherals: SPI, I2C, UART, USB, CAN, etc.
Comfortable with a debugger, JTAG/SWD, logic analyzer, and oscilloscope — not just simulators
Git fluency and basic understanding of CI for embedded builds
Ability to read a datasheet cover to cover without complaining about it

Bonus points
Experience with Embedded Linux (Yocto/Buildroot, bootloaders, BSP work) is a plus
Experience with low-power design and battery-powered products
Bluetooth LE / Thread / Matter experience
Exposure to hardware bring-up and board debugging
Contributions to Zephyr or other open-source embedded projects

Why join
Direct ownership — your code and your calls go straight to production
Small team, quick decisions, no bureaucracy
You'll learn more in 12 months here than in 3 years somewhere slow
If reading "own it, figure it out, no hand-holding" made you want to apply — apply. If it made you nervous, this role will make you miserable. Save us both the time.
