Lead Embedded Software Engineer

Job Summary:

At Emerson, we help the world run safer and smarter. As a global leader in automation, our Analytical Instruments organization develops advanced technologies and solutions that safeguard industries and keep critical systems running.

Join our Liquid Analysis team in Pune, India, as a Senior Embedded Software Engineer - where you'll work on both new product development and sustaining engineering for process analytical equipment that protects water quality, supports life sciences, strengthens industrial safety, and serves industries worldwide.

If solving complex engineering problems with software excites you, this is an opportunity to build real embedded products, work closely with software, hardware, systems, and test engineers, and see your work come together in the complete product - become part of a team that’s growing, learning, and focused on delivering results!

In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:

• Lead the design and development of embedded software subsystems, platform capabilities, and major technical efforts for new products and significant product enhancements.
• Own subsystem-level technical direction, including requirements, architecture, interfaces, design decisions, integration strategy, technical risks, and overall technical quality.
• Break down complex subsystem work into features and executable tasks, guide estimates and sequencing, identify dependencies and risks, and help engineers manage and maintain their work in Azure DevOps.
• Lead technical, architecture, and design reviews; communicate decisions and tradeoffs clearly and ensure actions are carried through implementation, integration, verification, and release.
• Guide and mentor engineers through technical coaching, design feedback, peer reviews, and difficult problem solving without formal supervisory responsibility.
• Solve complex embedded software, hardware/software integration, and system-level problems while remaining hands-on with development, debugging, testing, and root-cause analysis where needed.
• Collaborate with global technical and feature leads and cross-functional teams to align subsystem plans, schedules, estimates, risks, interfaces, and sprint execution.
• Strengthen engineering practices aligned with our SDLA and IEC 62443-4-1 and evaluate technologies, tools, automation, and AI-assisted approaches that improve product and engineering capability.

Who You Are:

You take on the challenge of unfamiliar tasks.

You deal constructively with problems that do not have clear solutions or outcomes.

You grow from hardships and negative experiences

You partner with others to get work done.

You admit mistakes and gain insight from experiences.

Korn Ferry Competencies: Nimble Learning, Manages Ambiguity, Being Resilient, Collaborates, Demonstrates Self-awareness

For This Role, You Will Need:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Science from an engineering school required.
• Minimum of eight (8) years of applicable experience

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field
• Demonstrated experience leading embedded software subsystems or major technical efforts from requirements and architecture through integration, verification, and release
• Advanced proficiency in C/C++, with experience in modular embedded software architecture, object-oriented design, design patterns, UML, and real-time, multi-threaded systems
• Experience defining subsystem architecture and interfaces, making technical tradeoffs, and leading architecture, design, and technical reviews
• Experience breaking down complex technical work, guiding estimates and sequencing, managing dependencies and risks, and supporting sprint execution using Azure DevOps or a similar tool
• Experience mentoring and technically guiding engineers, reviewing their work, and developing technical depth without relying on formal authority
• Experience with embedded Ethernet, TCP/IP networking, and embedded communication or industrial protocols such as CAN, SPI, UART/SCI, I²C, HART, Modbus, EtherNet/IP, PROFIBUS, or PROFINET
• Demonstrated ability to solve complex embedded software, hardware/software integration, and system-level problems and communicate technical decisions and tradeoffs across global teams
• Experience with requirements-based development and secure software development lifecycle practices; familiarity with IEC 62443-4-1, continuous integration, test automation, or AI-assisted engineering tools is preferred

Why Join Our Team?

We're building the next generation of Liquid Analysis products around a highly visible program with significant market potential. It's real embedded engineering across software, electronics, sensors, communications, automation, cybersecurity, and test. We're also growing the software team around it, so people joining now can influence not only the products, but architecture, automation, engineering practices, AI, and how the team works.

Our Culture & Commitment to You:

Clarity → Quality → Speed. We want curious people who jump in, learn fast, communicate openly, ask questions, challenge constructively, work through disagreements, and then align and move. Development and test are partners, and quality belongs to the whole engineering team.

At Emerson, we are committed to fostering a culture where every employee is valued and respected for their unique experiences and perspectives.
