Senior Embedded Engineer

Overview As a Senior Embedded Engineer, you will design, implement, and optimize firmware for real-time and Linux-based products. You will work across bare-metal, RTOS, and Embedded Linux, bridging software with hardware bring-up and security. You’ll shape drivers, boot tooling, and secure features while mentoring junior engineers. You will operate in a collaborative, performance-driven environment to deliver robust embedded systems that meet safety and compliance goals.
