Embedded Software Engineer

Job Description:

We are seeking an experienced and motivated Software engineer to design, develop and test software for our real-time MCU’s. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in embedded C/C++ programming and a strong understanding of embedded systems. This role requires close collaboration with hardware and application engineers to deliver robust, high-performance solutions that powers mission critical data centres, AI Servers and a wide array of Industrial applications.

Key Responsibilities:

- Software development: Design and develop high-quality, real-time software for TI ASM MCU families like AM1x and AM2x for a broad range of applications in segments like appliances, factory automation, datacenter, robotics & drones and edgeAI.

- Hardware-Software Integration: Work closely with hardware design teams to integrate firmware with new capabilities, validate system functionality and participate in board bring-up.

- Driver development: Write and maintain device drivers for the MCU internal peripherals and external communication interfaces (e.g., UART, I2C, SPI, CAN).

- Debugging and optimization: Use debugging tools like JTAG emulators, oscilloscopes and logic analysers to troubleshoot firmware, hardware, and system-level integration issues. Optimize firmware for performance, memory footprint, and power consumption.

- Validation and testing: Develop and execute comprehensive test plans and automated test scripts to ensure the software meets all functional and performance requirements.

- Customer Support: Provide technical support to application engineers and customers, assisting with firmware-related issues and implementation guidance.

- Documentation: Create and maintain technical documentation, including design specifications, firmware architecture, and test procedures.

- Continuous Improvement: Participate in code reviews and contribute to the improvement of software development methodologies and processes.
