Embedded Software Engineer

Embedded Software Engineer Job Description The Embedded Software Engineer designs, develops, and verifies high‑quality embedded software and supporting test systems for real‑time control environments. This role establishes and applies best practices in software development, leads complex troubleshooting and verification activities, and collaborates closely with cross‑functional teams to deliver reliable, safe, and compliant solutions.

Responsibilities Establish and maintain software development standards, methodologies, and best practices to optimize performance and ensure high‑quality, maintainable code. Analyze, troubleshoot, and resolve complex embedded software issues using diverse information sources and innovative problem‑solving approaches. Design scalable, robust, and maintainable software architectures for embedded and real‑time systems.

Lead software development projects from inception to completion with minimal supervision, ensuring timely and high‑quality delivery. Collaborate and coordinate with cross‑functional teams and subject matter experts to drive project success and align on technical solutions. Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders, facilitating understanding and informed decision‑making.

Apply industry best practices and standards to improve software development processes and ensure consistent implementation across projects. Review software requirements for clarity, completeness, consistency, and testability to support effective verification and validation. Develop comprehensive verification plans, test cases, and procedures based on software requirements for embedded and real‑time systems.

Execute software tests and review results to confirm that software performs as expected under normal, boundary, and fault conditions. Verify and maintain traceability between requirements, test cases, code, and test results to demonstrate complete coverage and compliance. Log, track, and retest defects discovered during verification until corrective actions are implemented and confirmed. Configure, validate, and verify test stands, including motor simulation and integrated software tools, to ensure they meet intended requirements and operate reliably and safely prior to software verification.

Work with hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL), software‑in‑the‑loop (SIL), and real‑time control environments to support development and verification activities. Develop and execute acceptance test cases with clear pass/fail criteria to support formal verification and acceptance testing. Troubleshoot issues related to signal mapping, timing, configuration, calibration, and communications within test frameworks and embedded systems.

Incorporate understanding of market trends and competitor offerings to inform strategic software development decisions when appropriate. Facilitate consensus among stakeholders on technical solutions, architectural decisions, and project direction. Essential Skills Expertise in multiple programming languages and frameworks relevant to embedded software engineering. Strong proficiency in designing scalable, robust, and maintainable software architectures for embedded and real‑time systems.

Demonstrated ability to analyze and resolve intricate technical challenges using innovative and structured problem‑solving methods. Proven experience leading software development projects from concept through delivery with minimal supervision. Effective cross‑functional collaboration skills, working closely with engineering, test, and other stakeholder teams to achieve project objectives. Ability to implement and enforce industry best practices and standards in software development processes.

Strong skills in building consensus among diverse stakeholders on technical and architectural decisions. Excellent technical communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey complex information to technical and non‑technical audiences. Hands‑on real‑time systems experience,
