? We’re Hiring: Embedded Software Engineer

Location: Hubli, Karnataka

Experience: 2–5 Years

Domain: Embedded Systems | Sensors | Real-time Systems

❗ Freshers are not eligible

❗ Candidates must be willing to relocate

About This Role

We are looking for an Embedded Software Engineer to work on software that directly interfaces with real-world hardware like sensors, cameras, and embedded compute platforms for mission-critical defence systems.

This is not an app-development or IT role.

You will be writing software that talks to physical systems, processes real-time data, and runs on embedded Linux platforms deployed in the field.

You will work closely with hardware, mechanical, and systems engineers to integrate sensors, perception algorithms, and user interfaces into a rugged, production-ready product.

What You’ll Be Doing

Integrate and deploy tracking and perception algorithms on embedded Linux-based compute platforms

Interface with and integrate IMU, range sensors, cameras, and temperature sensors

Develop and optimize real-time data pipelines for sensor acquisition, processing, and visualization

Integrate UI screens, menus, and system settings based on designs provided by designers

Work closely with hardware engineers to debug hardware–software interaction issues

Participate in system bring-up, field testing, debugging, and performance tuning

Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented embedded software

What We’re Looking For

Mandatory Skills & Experience





2–5 years of hands-on embedded software development experience

Solid proficiency in C/C++ (Python experience is a plus, not a replacement)

Experience working on embedded Linux systems (device-level, not desktop apps)

Prior experience integrating sensors (IMU, cameras, LiDAR, or similar)

Understanding of real-time constraints, threading, latency, and performance optimization

Comfortable working with hardware datasheets, schematics, and timing diagrams

Experience debugging at the system level (logs, traces, interfaces, hardware bring-up)

Why You Should Join Us

Work on real defence hardware, not demos or PoCs

See your software go from code → system → field deployment

High ownership and technical responsibility early in your career

Collaborate closely with mechanical, electronics, and systems engineers

Build systems that matter to national security

What You’ll Get

Direct ownership of critical software subsystems

Exposure to full system-level engineering, not siloed coding A steep learning curve, technically and professionally The satisfaction of building software that actually runs in the real world
