Lead Embedded Engineer

Work Mode\- Work From Office

• *Position Overview**

We are looking for a Lead Embedded Engineer who can take ownership of embedded product/module development from requirements through design, implementation, debugging, integration, validation, and deployment. The role requires strong hands\-on embedded engineering capability along with the ability to mentor engineers, work directly with customers, estimate development effort, and drive projects toward reliable, production\-ready outcomes.

• *Key Responsibilities**

• Own embedded product/module development end\-to\-end, from requirements analysis to deployment and support.
• Design and develop embedded firmware using C/C\+\+ for microcontroller\-based systems.
• Develop and integrate bare\-metal and RTOS\-based applications, drivers, middleware, and application logic.
• Implement and debug communication interfaces including UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, and Ethernet.
• Perform firmware debugging, root\-cause analysis, issue resolution, and system\-level troubleshooting.
• Read and interpret hardware schematics and collaborate with hardware engineers during board bring\-up and integration.
• Troubleshoot PCB\-level and system\-level issues and support hardware/firmware integration.
• Lead technical discussions with customers and translate requirements into practical engineering solutions.
• Estimate development effort, identify technical dependencies/risks, and contribute to project planning and schedules.
• Mentor junior engineers, review technical work, and promote good coding, debugging, documentation, and development practices.
• Review requirements and schedules, challenge unrealistic assumptions when required, and communicate technical constraints clearly.
• Differentiate between prototype development and product development, with focus on reliability, maintainability, and production readiness.
• Contribute to technical documentation, design reviews, test planning, release activities, and project status updates.

• *Technical Skills \& Qualifications**

• Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Electrical, Instrumentation, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 2\+ years of hands\-on experience in embedded firmware/software development.
• Strong programming skills in Embedded C/C\+\+; knowledge of coding standards and good software practices.
• Hands\-on experience with microcontrollers and bare\-metal/RTOS\-based embedded development.
• Working knowledge of UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet, and related embedded communication protocols.
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills using software and hardware debugging techniques.
• Ability to read schematics and understand hardware/firmware interfaces.
• Experience with board bring\-up, firmware integration, system testing, and issue investigation.
• Ability to understand and work with technical requirements, specifications, interfaces, and test cases.

• *What Sets a Great Lead Apart**

• Has independently owned a product or major software/firmware module.
• Can troubleshoot firmware issues systematically and identify root causes.
• Can read schematics and understand PCB/hardware interactions.
• Can debug PCB and system\-level problems in collaboration with hardware teams.
• Has interacted directly with customers and can communicate technical topics clearly.
• Has mentored junior engineers and helped improve team capability.
• Can estimate development effort and communicate assumptions, dependencies, and risks.
• Can push back constructively when requirements or schedules are unrealistic.
• Understands the difference between prototype development and production/product engineering.

• *Preferred / Good\-to\-Have Skills**

• Experience with automotive, industrial, mobility, or other safety/reliability\-focused embedded products.
• Exposure to CAN/SAE J1939, diagnostics, bootloaders, firmware update mechanisms, or embedded networking.
• Familiarity with Git/version control, issue tracking, code reviews, and structured software development processes.
• Experience working across hardware, firmware, testing, and system integration teams.

• *Key Competencies**

• *Technical ownership \& problem solving**

• *Embedded firmware development**

• *System debugging \& troubleshooting**

• *Customer communication**

• *Technical leadership \& mentoring**

• *Effort estimation \& planning**

• *Cross\-functional collaboration**

• *Product\-oriented engineering mindset**

• *Why Join Us?**

Join a technology\-driven embedded engineering team where you will have the opportunity to own meaningful product modules, solve challenging hardware\-software problems, work closely with customers, and help build reliable embedded solutions from concept to deployment.
