Role Summary :- 

We are looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to architect and lead development of real-time and Linux-based embedded systems. You will drive technical decisions across FreeRTOS and embedded Linux platforms, set architecture and coding standards and mentor engineers across the team. 

 

Key Responsibilities :- 

  • Architect embedded software systems spanning FreeRTOS-based subsystems and embedded Linux platforms 

  • Define system architecture, task/process partitioning, IPC strategy, and overall software design
