What You’ll Do

- Develop and maintain embedded firmware in C/C++ for microcontroller- and processor-based platforms.
- Implement and integrate bootloaders, secure boot, firmware update, rollback, and recovery mechanisms.
- Develop base software, board-support packages, hardware-abstraction layers, and peripheral device drivers.
- Configure and develop RTOS-based software, including tasks, scheduling, interrupts, timers, inter-task communication, and resource management.
- Support cybersecurity implementation through secure coding, authentication, access control, cryptographic services, vulnerability remediation, and threat-mitigation activities.
- Develop and test interfaces such as I2C/SMBus/PMBus, SPI, UART, CAN, Modbus, GPIO, ADC, PWM, and Ethernet, as applicable.
- Translate system and product needs into explicit software requirements, designs, interfaces, and test cases while maintaining traceability.
- Support firmware for data center controllers, including power, fan, sensor, rack-management, and power-supply applications.
- Contribute to embedded development for electrical-sector products, including monitoring, protection, control, and power-management applications.
- Perform unit, integration, hardware-in-the-loop, and system testing; debug issues using standard embedded development tools.
- Participate in code reviews, static analysis, defect resolution, configuration management, and CI/CD activities.
- Create and maintain requirements, design documents, test evidence, release notes, and other lifecycle documentation.

Qualifications Education level required : Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, Computer, Instrumentation, or Software Engineering, or a related discipline. Years and area of experience required:



1–3 years of experience in embedded software or firmware development; relevant internships or project experience may be considered.
