Job Description

Trane Technologies is currently seeking a Software Engineer who will be responsible for developing embedded HMI systems in Qt/C++ and Python, building custom Yocto Linux distributions, and managing our embedded cybersecurity program while ensuring all software development efforts are supported by thorough documentation, rigorous testing practices, and comprehensive risk analysis.

What You Will Do

Qt/C++ | Embedded Linux:

• Design and develop high-performance Qt/C++ applications for embedded HMI systems on industrial touchscreen panels.
• Create responsive, touch‑optimized user interfaces using Qt Quick/QML for real‑time monitoring dashboards.
• Implement efficient data visualization components for temperature trends, alarms, and equipment status.
• Develop cross‑platform applications targeting both embedded Linux devices and desktop environments.
• Optimize Qt applications for resource‑constrained embedded systems (memory footprint, startup time, rendering performance).
• Integrate Qt applications with backend services via REST APIs, Web Sockets, and MQTT.

Yocto Linux & Embedded Systems:

• Build and maintain custom Yocto Linux distributions for industrial embedded devices.
• Create and manage Yocto layers, recipes, and BSP configurations for target hardware platforms.
• Configure device trees, kernel modules, and system services for industrial applications.
• Develop CI/CD pipelines for automated Yocto builds and deployment workflows.

Python Development:

• Develop Python‑based backend services for industrial automation and test systems.
• Create test automation frameworks for end‑of‑line production testing.
• Implement and maintain industrial protocol communication (Modbus TCP, CANbus) using Python libraries.
• Create Python utilities for device configuration, firmware management, and diagnostics.

Embedded Cybersecurity:

• Manage the ongoing embedded cybersecurity program across the full product lifecycle.
• Conduct periodic security reviews, vulnerability assessments, and threat‑modeling exercises.
• Maintain and improve the organization’s embedded security posture through continuous hardening efforts.
• Monitor and respond to emerging CVEs and security advisories relevant to embedded Linux and industrial systems.
• Document security architecture, hardening procedures, and incident response protocols.

What You Will Bring

• Associate’s Degree (AA) in technical engineering discipline. Bachelor’s Degree (BS) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related technical discipline preferred.
• Testing experience (TDD/BDD, unit tests, mocking frameworks) in embedded and/or regulated environments.
• Proficiency using Python, Qt/C++, and React/Type Script.
• Basic knowledge of Yocto Linux and embedded cybersecurity frameworks.
