Embedded Software Engineer

Embedded Software Engineer - RL Research Responsibilities:

• Contribute effort to analyze, design, develop, and debug firmware, and embedded software including sensing and imaging systems.
• Understand and implement firmware on micro-controllers and SoCs, leverage peripherals, manage power consumption, support boot loaders, and schedule real-time tasks (RTOS).
• Collaborate in a team environment across multiple, research-focused, and engineering disciplines, making the architectural tradeoffs required to rapidly deliver firmware solutions.
• Support all phases of custom hardware development, including early architecture requirements definition, firmware and embedded system architecture, proof-of-concept implementation, selection of MCUs and tools, and board bring-up.
• Understand and drive implementation of embedded SW development good practices across teams and projects, including setting expectations, defining backlog, and tracking progress of contingent staff.
• Document and communicate learning, understanding, and problem solving to a wide range of audiences and disciplines.
• Interact closely with firmware, software, and hardware teams both project-specific and cross-functional to ensure that the platforms we are building will work well with other systems.
  

Minimum Qualifications:

• B.S. degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience in embedded software development, or 7+ years with a M.S. degree.
• Experience with embedded software design and programming in C/C++.
• Experience with building drivers for custom hardware systems.
• Experience with synchronous and asynchronous serial protocols.
• Experience in the use of oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and protocol decoders.
• Experience with designing a firmware solution from hardware components or datasheets.
• Experience with register level and system debugging.
• Experience working with international manufacturing partners.
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• Proven track record of success in solving complex technical problems with breadth and depth, critical thinking and decision-making.
• Strong teamwork, collaborative, and cross-team communication skills.
• M.S. degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience working effectively with cross-site & cross-functional teams.
• AOSP experience, outside of apps and in the native environment.
