Embedded Systems Engineer

Role Summary

The Embedded Systems Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and integrating firmware and electronic control systems for product prototypes and proof-of-concept devices developed within the DTVC labs. This role works closely with mechanical, electronics, and software/portal development teams to enable functional prototypes, sensor/actuator interfacing, data acquisition, device-to-cloud communication, and system-level debugging.

The engineer will support both rapid prototyping and structured productization, contributing to architecture decisions, hardware bring-up, and firmware optimization.

Key Responsibilities

1. Firmware & Embedded Development

• Develop and maintain firmware for microcontrollers and embedded systems (e.g., STM32, ESP32, AVR, ARM Cortex)
• Implement drivers for sensors, actuators, communication modules, and peripheral interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, PWM)
• Write robust, maintainable code using C/C++ (Python or Rust is a plus)

2. System Integration & Hardware Bring-Up

• Bring up evaluation boards, custom PCBs, and embedded modules
• Debug power systems, signal integrity, noise, timing, bootloaders, clocking, and communication faults
• Work closely with electronics engineers on board-level design trade-offs

3. Connectivity & Device Communication

• Implement data protocols and communication stacks (MQTT, BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa, RS-485, Modbus, etc.)
• Integrate with cloud services, local controllers, and backend APIs (working with portal/IT team)

4. Testing & Validation

• Write and execute test plans for embedded systems
• Measure system performance (latency, efficiency, stability, thermal behavior)
• Perform logging, instrumentation, and profiling for optimization

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, Mechatronics, or related field
• Experience in C/C++ for embedded systems and Python
• Hands-on experience with microcontrollers (STM32, PIC, ESP32, ARM Cortex, etc.)
• Familiarity with one or more embedded toolchains (Keil, STM32CubeIDE, PlatformIO, GCC, Segger, etc.)
• Working knowledge of debugging tools: logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, JTAG/SWD debuggers
• Comfortable reading and understanding schematics and datasheets
