• Debugging and resolving complex issues in embedded systems, and performing root cause investigations for bugs, utilizing tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and hardware debuggers;

• Planning software development activities, breaking larger work packages into tasks, estimating effort, and ensuring that planned items are delivered on time and at the required quality;

• Providing consultation on development strategy and assessing related risks and technical gaps as early as possible;

• Promoting best engineering practices and demonstrating sufficient knowledge and expertise in one's own developments;

• Developing requirements for embedded software components of all complexity levels;

• Implementing and maintaining tests for embedded software (e.g., embedded test programs, scripts);

• Collaborating with engineers of different disciplines in requirements and design activities related to embedded software (e.g., application development, hardware development).

YOUR EXPERIENCE INCLUDES:

• MSc or BSc degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or equivalent;

• 3+ years of experience in Embedded Software development with the C programming language;

• Experience with Version Control Systems, especially Git and Gitlab;

• Experience in HIL testing for embedded targets with a hardware debugger or other tools;

• Experience with requirements tools.

NICE TO HAVE:

• Previous experience working in the semiconductor industry;

• Good understanding of assembly language for RISC architectures, especially RISC-V;

• Experience with working with Python;

• Familiarity with Machine Learning concepts, Artificial Intelligence, and Artificial Neural Networks;

• Experience with Mixed-signal Integrated Circuit development processes;

• Knowledge of analog and digital electrical circuits.

WHAT YOU NEED TO SUCCEED:

• Exceptional analytical skills and attention to detail;

• Good organizational, planning, and documentation abilities;

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams;

• Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet tight deadlines.

WE OFFER YOU:
