About the Position

Embedded Solution Architect - Onsite

Serve as a Principal Engineer I driving complex embedded solutions on Linux platforms using C and C++ transforming product requirements into robust scalable implementations that enhance reliability and performance while collaborating in a hybrid work model with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality embedded products that positively impact customers and society.

Responsibilities

• Drive end-to-end design and development of embedded software components on Linux platforms using C and C++ to achieve high performance and reliability in production systems.
• Implement robust low-level modules, drivers, and middleware for embedded systems to ensure efficient interaction with hardware and consistent system behavior across product variants.
• Analyze complex technical requirements and translate them into detailed design specifications that guide implementation, integration, and verification activities for embedded platforms.
• Conduct thorough code reviews and static analysis for C and C++ components to maintain coding standards, improve maintainability, and reduce defect rates in critical software modules.
• Optimize runtime performance, memory usage, and power consumption of embedded applications on Linux by profiling execution paths and applying targeted algorithmic and architectural improvements.
• Collaborate closely with systems engineers, hardware engineers, and product teams in a hybrid work model to refine interfaces, clarify constraints, and align embedded solutions with overall product goals.
• Develop unit tests, integration tests, and automated regression suites for embedded software to ensure stable releases and faster feedback cycles during ongoing feature development.
• Debug complex system issues involving interactions between application code, operating system services, and hardware using appropriate tools such as debuggers, tracers, and profilers to identify root causes and corrective actions.
• Document software architecture, module-level designs, and configuration guidelines in a clear and structured manner so that future enhancements and maintenance activities can be executed efficiently.
• Apply secure coding practices and defensive programming techniques within embedded C and C++ codebases to reduce vulnerabilities and enhance overall system resilience.
• Coordinate with quality and validation teams to define acceptance criteria, test coverage expectations, and verification strategies that align with safety, reliability, and regulatory expectations for embedded products.
• Evaluate new libraries, frameworks, and tooling relevant to embedded Linux development to continuously improve development workflows, build pipelines, and system observability.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of design processes and prototyping approaches by sharing lessons learned from projects and proposing refinements that reduce cycle time and improve first-time-right outcomes.

Qualifications

• Exhibit strong hands-on expertise in embedded software development using C and C++ on Linux-based platforms with a track record of delivering stable and maintainable solutions in complex systems.
• Demonstrate practical experience with compilation toolchains, build systems, and source control for embedded environments enabling efficient and predictable release management.
• Apply solid understanding of operating system concepts such as processes, threads, memory management, and interprocess communication within Linux-based embedded products.
• Bring familiarity with design process and prototyping methods so that early concept validation and rapid iterations support better product decisions and reduced risk.
• Utilize effective problem-solving skills including root cause analysis and systematic debugging in embedded contexts to resolve defects and performance bottlenecks under time constraints.
• Communicate clearly with multidisciplinary stakeholders in a hybrid work environment ensuring that design decisions, tradeoffs, and risks are transparent and well understood by all contributors.
