About the role
About the assignment We are looking for an experienced Embedded Software Consultant to contribute to the development of a next-generation software platform for machine ECUs. In this assignment, you will focus on low-level embedded software and platform development, working close to microcontrollers (MCUs) and hardware. You will join a technically strong development team developing robust, reliable and deterministic software for real-time systems. This role is suitable for a senior embedded software engineer with strong expertise in C++, embedded platforms, hardware-level debugging and real-time software development. Key responsibilities Develop, integrate and maintain low-level embedded software for ECU platforms.
Work with microcontrollers, bootloaders, startup code, device drivers, hardware abstraction layers and RTOS.
Analyze, troubleshoot and resolve complex hardware- and software-related issues.
Perform hands-on debugging and verification on target hardware using debug probes, oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.
Contribute to software architecture, implementation, integration and verification.
Ensure reliable and deterministic software behavior in real-time environments.
Collaborate with hardware and software engineers to resolve platform-level challenges.
Required qualifications Minimum 8 years of professional experience in embedded software development.
Several years of hands-on experience in low-level embedded software and platform development.
Strong knowledge of microcontrollers and embedded hardware.
Experience with RTOS and/or bare-metal software development.
Experience with bootloaders, startup code, memory management and hardware initialization.
Good understanding of interrupts, real-time behavior and peripheral interfaces.
Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills, including practical experience with target hardware and measurement equipment.
Strong programming skills in C++ and experience with Python for scripting, automation and testing.
Ability to analyze and solve complex hardware/software integration problems.
Meritorious qualifications The following experience is considered an advantage: Experience in automotive or other safety-critical embedded systems.
Experience with ARM-based microcontrollers.
Knowledge of CAN, CAN FD and automotive diagnostics.
Experience with functional safety.
Familiarity with modern software development practices, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD).
