Embedded Software Consultant – Machine ECU Platform

We are looking for experienced Embedded Software Consultants to join our development team and contribute to the next generation of software platforms for machine ECUs . The assignment focuses on low-level embedded software and platform development , working closely with microcontrollers, hardware and real-time operating systems. You will be part of a technically strong team developing software that must be deterministic, robust, reliable and maintainable in a real-time environment . The ideal candidate has strong hands-on experience in embedded C++ development, MCU-based systems, boot software, drivers, RTOS/bare-metal development and hardware-level debugging. Key Responsibilities Develop, integrate and maintain low-level embedded software for ECU platforms. Work closely with microcontrollers, boot software, device drivers, hardware abstraction layers and RTOS . Develop and maintain startup, initialization and platform-level software. Analyze, troubleshoot and resolve complex hardware/software integration issues . Perform hands-on debugging and verification on target hardware. Use tools such as debug probes, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and other measurement equipment . Contribute to software architecture, design, implementation and integration. Develop and execute software verification and testing activities. Analyze real-time behavior, interrupts, memory usage and peripheral communication. Collaborate closely with embedded software, hardware, systems and verification engineers. Support continuous improvement of development, integration, testing and debugging processes. Contribute to a modern software development environment with automation and CI/CD practices. Required Skills & Experience Several years of professional experience in low-level embedded software development . Strong knowledge of microcontrollers and embedded hardware . Solid experience with C++ in embedded systems. Experience with RTOS and/or bare-metal development .
