About the job

We are seeking a highly skilled Embedded Software Engineer to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a background in testing low-level embedded systems and a passion for ensuring product reliability and quality.

In this role, you will design and implement software drivers for new silicon, and ensure robust performance through thorough debugging and cross‑platform testing. This role involves working closely with hardware and firmware teams to both develop new embedded software and validate its functionality, performance, and robustness. You will have the opportunity to work with wireless technologies, ranging from sub-1 GHz to LTE/5G, GNSS, and NTN.

The position requires deep embedded‑systems expertise, strong C programming skills, hands‑on experience with testing and CI tools, familiarity with wireless protocols and hardware debugging, and the ability to thrive in a collaborative, fast‑moving engineering environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to SDKs (e.g., Zephyr‑based nRF Connect SDK) by designing and implementing board support packages, drivers, and tests for new and existing devices

• Analyze, debug, and resolve issues uncovered during development and testing cycles across multiple hardware platforms

• Improve and extend automated test systems (CI), including daily test execution and reliability validation

• Work with design and verification teams to align software behavior with silicon architecture and modem specifications

• Partner with firmware teams to develop consistent low‑level APIs and ensure compatibility across SoCs, reference boards, and eval kits

• Set up and refine build systems and CI pipelines following organizational best practices

• Document APIs, architecture decisions, and test results with clarity and consistency for internal and external developers

Key Qualifications

• Deep knowledge of embedded systems, microcontrollers, and real-time systems.

• Proficiency in C for embedded environments and scripting languages (Python preferred) for automation.

• Experience with unit/system-level testing and continuous integration tools such as Jenkins and GitHub Actions.

• Good understanding of test coverage analysis and static analysis tools.

• Experience with wireless protocols is preferred.

• Experience with hardware debugging tools and protocol sniffers.

Personal skills

We are looking for someone who brings strong collaboration and interpersonal skills, paired with a natural curiosity and learning mindset that drives continuous growth. You approach challenges with analytical thinking and strong problem‑solving abilities, and you thrive in fast‑moving settings that require adaptability and comfort in dynamic environments. You take ownership of your work with a self‑driven, responsible, and detail-oriented approach, and you stay motivated through complexity with the resilience, persistence, and willingness to tackle hard problems needed to succeed in this role.
