As a global leader in smart grid solutions, we enable utilities to enhance grid visibility, flexibility, and decarbonization, supporting the seamless integration of renewable energy, electric vehicles, and heat pumps into the power grid.\nHeadquartered in Vancouver, Canada, Corinex is the market leader in Europe, particularly in Spain, where our BPL solutions are deployed by major DSOs (Distribution System Operators) to improve grid operations. With successful implementations across global markets, our technologies accelerate the transition to a more sustainable, decentralized, and efficient energy infrastructure. Recognized as a key contributor to industry standards and a 2024 Deloitte Technology Fast 50 winner, Corinex is shaping the future of smart energy.\nAbout the Job\nCorinex is seeking an experienced Senior Embedded Software Engineerto join our engineering team in developing next-generation smart grid communication devices. In this role, you will work on low-level embedded software and platform development across the full product lifecycle, from board bring-up and BSP development to system integration, debugging, validation, and production support.\nThe ideal candidate has strong hands-on experience with Embedded Linux, C programming, Linux kernel and device drivers, BSP development, bootloaders, and hardware bring-up. You will work closely with hardware, firmware, networking, and test teams to develop reliable and high-performance embedded platforms for our smart grid communication products.\nThis is a hands-on engineering role suited for someone comfortable working close to the hardware, debugging complex system-level issues, and taking ownership of embedded platforms from initial board bring-up through production deployment.\nDuties & Responsibilities\nDesign, develop, integrate, and maintain embedded software for Linux-based communication devices.\nDevelop and maintain Board Support Packages (BSPs), platform software, and low-level firmware components.\nPerform new board bring-up, hardware-software integration, and system-level debugging.\nDevelop, configure, and maintain Linux kernel components and device drivers.\nConfigure and maintain U-Boot, bootloaders, Device Tree (DTS/DTB), and Linux kernel configurations.\nDebug hardware and embedded software using tools and interfaces such as JTAG, UART/serial console, GDB, and OpenOCD.\nInvestigate and resolve system-level issues involving hardware, firmware, kernel, drivers, and networking.\nWork with embedded interfaces and peripherals including SPI, I²C, GPIO, UART, and Ethernet.\nSupport embedded networking functionality, including troubleshooting Ethernet, VLAN/bridge configuration, IP addressing and routing, TCP/UDP, multicast, and network management protocols.\nDevelop and maintain Embedded Linux builds using technologies such as Yocto Project, OpenEmbedded, and BitBake.\nCollaborate closely with hardware engineers during schematic review, board validation, and product bring-up.\nPerform structured root-cause analysis and troubleshoot complex hardware-software integration issues.\nParticipate in system architecture and technical design discussions.\nDevelop scripts and automation tools to support build, validation, flashing, testing, and manufacturing processes.\nContribute to CI/CD pipelines and automated hardware or firmware testing.\nConduct code reviews and contribute to engineering best practices, coding standards, and technical documentation.\nSupport manufacturing, factory flashing, recovery tooling, and production testing when required.\nMentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance on embedded software development and debugging.\nQualifications\nBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.\n5+ years of professional experiencein embedded software, firmware, or Embedded Linux development.\nStrong programming experience in C, with solid understanding of low-level programming concepts.\nStrong hands-on experience developing software for Embedded Linux systems.\nExperience with Linux kernel development, BSP development, and/or Linux device drivers.\nProven experience with board bring-up and hardware-software integration.\nHands-on experience with U-Boot or other bootloadersand Device Treeconfiguration.\nStrong experience debugging embedded systems through UART/serial console and JTAG.\nExperience working directly with hardware, schematics, processors, peripherals, and board-level interfaces.\nStrong understanding of embedded communication interfaces such as SPI, I²C, UART, GPIO, and Ethernet.\nStrong troubleshooting skills and ability to perform structured root-cause analysis across hardware and software layers.\nProficiency with Git-based version controland modern software development practices.\nNice to Have\nExperience with Yocto Project, OpenEmbedded, and/or BitBake.\nExperience with Ethernet or networking driver development.\nStrong understanding of networking concepts including TCP/IP, UDP, VLANs, bridges, routing, multicast, and network management protocols.\nExperience using OpenOCD, GDB, or similar low-level debugging tools.\nExperience with factory flashing, firmware recovery, and production tooling.\nExperience scripting in Python or Shell.\nExperience with CI/CD and automated hardware or firmware testing.\nExperience supporting manufacturing or production test environments.\nExperience with C++, bare-metal firmware,
