Embedded Software Engineer

Job Description:

We are seeking highly motivated and technically driven Embedded Software Engineers to develop software for cutting-edge test platforms.
In this role, you will design, implement, and maintain software that interfaces directly with hardware and operating system components while providing robust APIs and services to higher-level applications. You will work closely with hardware engineers, software engineers, and product managers to design and deliver reliable, high-performance solutions used in advanced semiconductor test systems.
This is an opportunity to contribute across the full embedded software stack, from low-level hardware interaction and Linux platform development to application software and system integration.
This is a contract position for a nominal period of 1 year.

Responsibilities
• Design, develop, and maintain software solutions in C and C++ for Linux-based and embedded systems.
• Debug and optimize complex hardware/software integration issues across system- and board-level components.
• Contribute to software quality and engineering efficiency through modern software development practices.

Required Qualifications
• Strong communication skills with the ability to clearly explain complex technical issues, project status, and risks to peers, managers, and customers.
• Experience implementing Agile software development practices like story planning, bug tracking, release planning, and sprint retrospectives.
• Proficiency in C and C++ software development for embedded and system-level applications.
• Experience debugging complex hardware/software integration issues and multithreaded applications.
• Experience with embedded communication interfaces such as SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, PCIe, or similar technologies.
• Availability to work from our North Reading, Massachusetts or Sunnyvale, CA offices five days per week.

Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with scripting languages such as Python for automation, testing, and tooling.
• Experience in test, instrumentation, and automation domains.
