Associate Embedded Software Engineer

Job Title

Associate Embedded Software Engineer

Role Summary

Develop and maintain embedded software for products that integrate analog and digital hardware. Work with cross-functional hardware and software teams to design, implement, integrate, test, and optimize firmware for microcontrollers and processors in RTOS and bare-metal environments.

Location: Bonifacio Global City, Philippines. Travel required approximately 10% of the time.

Experience Level

Entry-level / Associate (Graduate-level). No specific years-of-experience requirement stated.

Responsibilities

Typical responsibilities include:

• Design, implement, and maintain embedded firmware for multiple hardware platforms.
• Develop software for RTOS and bare-metal systems (Zephyr, Linux environments).
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to define requirements and integrate firmware with peripherals (ADCs, DACs, timers, PWMs, GPIO, SPI, I2C, UART, CAN).
• Test, debug, and validate systems using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, signal generators, and JTAG/ICE debuggers.
• Optimize code for performance, memory footprint, and power consumption.
• Participate in code reviews, maintain technical documentation, and follow software development best practices.
• Contribute to open-source projects and work within large codebases when applicable.

Requirements

Must-have:

• Experience in embedded software development with strong C/C++ skills.
• Proficiency developing for microcontrollers and microprocessors.
• Familiarity with hardware communication protocols and microcontroller peripherals (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, ADCs, DACs, timers, PWMs, GPIO).
• Ability to debug complex embedded systems and use lab equipment and debuggers.
• Strong problem-solving skills and good communication and collaboration abilities.

Nice-to-have:

• Bare-metal programming and RTOS experience (Zephyr, Linux).
• Software architecture and design patterns; ROS driver development experience.
• Experience with AI/ML, computer vision, or image processing.
• FPGA development and firmware programming experience.
• Python proficiency, strong Git/version-control practices, CI/CD and automated/unit testing experience.
• Familiarity with generative AI tools and active contributions to open-source projects are a plus.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field is required; a Master’s degree is preferred. The posting does not include explicit equivalent-experience language.
