AI Embedded Software Engineer

Description

abra's R&D Embedded division is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer (Python/Linux) to join our team in Ra'anana/Jerusalem!

We are seeking an experienced Embedded Software Engineer to develop software solutions for Linux-based embedded systems. The role involves designing and implementing software that interfaces with hardware components, communication peripherals, and system-level services. The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer with strong Python skills, experience working in embedded Linux environments, and the ability to independently investigate technical challenges and drive solutions from concept to implementation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop software for embedded Linux platforms using Python.
• Design and implement software interfaces for hardware peripherals and system components.
• Integrate and validate communication interfaces and device functionality.
• Investigate, debug, and resolve software and hardware integration issues.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Utilize AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity and software quality.
• Document software design and implementation.

Requirements

• B.Sc. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 3+ years of software development experience with Embedded Python/C++ programming skills and tools development.
• Hands-on experience working with Embedded Linux environments.
• Experience interfacing with hardware devices and peripherals through software.
• Ability to read hardware specifications and datasheets and implement software APIs accordingly.
• Understanding of low-level communication protocols such as I2C, SPI, UART, and Ethernet.
• Practical experience using modern AI-assisted development tools (such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor, or similar) as part of the software development workflow.
• Strong troubleshooting, debugging, and investigative skills.
• Self-driven engineer capable of independently driving technical investigations, identifying information gaps, and collaborating with stakeholders to resolve them.

Advantages:

• Experience developing hardware diagnostics, validation, test, or board bring-up tools for embedded systems - big advantage.
• Experience with gRPC and Protocol Buffers (Protobuf).
• Experience with FPGA-based systems, PCIe, ADCs, or clocking devices.
• B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering.
• Experience working with lab equipment such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, or JTAG debuggers.
