Embedded Engineer • Mid-Level

Who you are

You have experience in firmware validation, particularly in embedded systems — you understand the intricacies of testing embedded applications and control logic to ensure they meet functional and safety requirements. Your background includes working closely with firmware developers and systems engineers, allowing you to effectively communicate and collaborate across teams.

You possess strong programming skills in C and C++ — you've utilized these languages to develop and validate firmware, ensuring robust performance across various hardware interfaces, sensors, and actuators. Your attention to detail helps you catch issues early in the development process, contributing to the overall quality of customer-facing features.

You are familiar with vehicle platform integration — your experience includes validating features at the component, subsystem, and system levels, ensuring that all elements work seamlessly together. You understand the importance of integration stability and the impact it has on the final product.

You thrive in collaborative environments — you enjoy working with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable embedded features to production. Your ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders ensures that everyone is aligned on project goals and timelines.

Desirable

Experience with vehicle systems or automotive applications would be a plus — you understand the unique challenges and requirements of this industry. Familiarity with safety standards in embedded systems can also enhance your contributions to the team.

What you'll do

In your role as a Firmware Validation Engineer, you will validate firmware functionality at various levels, ensuring that features operate reliably within the broader vehicle platform.
