Firmware Architect (7-8 yrs) || Bangalore

Role Overview

Looking for a Firmware Architect who can own and evolve complex firmware and embedded OS layer architecture for high-assurance hardware products. The person should be comfortable working at the boundary of firmware, embedded software, system architecture, product behavior, and real-world customer use cases. The role requires someone who can understand complex end applications, translate them into clean technical architecture, and guide the implementation toward a stable, auditable, and production-ready product.

Key Responsibilities

- Own firmware and embedded OS-layer architecture for hardware-based products.
- Understand product use cases, deployment environments, customer workflows, and system-level requirements.
- Translate high-level product and application requirements into firmware architecture, design modules, interfaces, and execution flows.
- Comprehend the existing architecture, identify gaps, and evolve it without unnecessary redesign.
- Define clean software boundaries across boot, system initialization, runtime services, application layers, management interfaces, and update flows.
- Work closely with hardware, FPGA, product, application engineering, and validation teams.
- Build architecture that is maintainable, testable, scalable, and suitable for long product lifecycles.
- Create clear design documents, interface specifications, state machines, flow diagrams, and implementation guidance for the engineering team.
- Review firmware implementation for correctness, robustness,



security posture, error handling, and long-term maintainability.
- Support structured external evaluation, technical evidence preparation, and product assurance activities.
- Mentor engineers and help them convert ambiguous requirements into practical implementation steps.
- Own technical decisions across architecture, trade-offs, debugging, and release readiness.

- Relevant Experience

- o Around 7+ years of experience in embedded firmware, embedded software, or system software development.
- o Strong experience in firmware architecture or embedded OS-layer design.
- o Good understanding of boot flows, memory management, task scheduling, inter-process or inter module communication, error handling, fault recovery, and system initialization
- o Experience working with complex embedded systems where firmware interacts with hardware, application logic, and external interfaces.
- o Ability to read and understand existing codebases and architecture without needing everything to be explained from scratch.
- o Strong C/C++ programming background.
- o Ability to design abstractions, interfaces, and modular firmware components.
- o Experience with RTOS, embedded Linux, bare-metal systems, or custom embedded runtime environments.
- o Good debugging ability across software-hardware boundaries.
- o Solid documentation skills for architecture, design, and engineering handover.
- o Ability to work with incomplete information and still bring structure to the problem.
