junior embedded software developer

About

Our client is hiring a junior embedded software developer to help expand and maintain firmware running on real-world power electronics products (power inverters, batteries, rectifiers).

The role focuses on building reliable, efficient low-level software in C/C++ that runs close to the hardware, interfaces with sensors/actuators, communicates with other devices, and supports diagnostics and field reliability.

Typical problems include predictable timing behavior, working within limited memory/CPU, investigating bugs that can involve both hardware and software, and improving maintainability across product variants.

Responsibilities

• Expand and maintain firmware running on real-world power electronics products (power inverters, batteries, rectifiers).
• Build reliable, efficient low-level software in C/C++ that runs close to the hardware.
• Interface with sensors/actuators.
• Communicate with other devices.
• Support diagnostics and field reliability.
• Address predictable timing behavior.
• Work within limited memory/CPU.
• Investigate bugs that can involve both hardware and software.
• Improve maintainability across product variants.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering/Computer Science
• 1–2 years experience
• Git (daily use)
• SSH (remote access/auth)
• Docker (basic usage for dev/test environments)
• Linux terminal basics (shell usage, logs, processes, file permissions)
• Networking fundamentals (IP addressing, ports, basic troubleshooting)
• API design fundamentals (how devices/services expose data and commands; clear interface definitions)
• Automated testing practices (unit + integration; exposure to end-to-end testing is a plus)
• Embedded C and C++
