A leading Australian technology company is seeking a Principal Embedded Software Engineer to own a complex real-time embedded platform.
This senior role combines architecture with hands-on engineering.
You'll define how software is structured across hard real-time and embedded Linux environments, guide technical decisions, and work closely with engineers across software, electronics, systems, controls, and test.
- What You’ll Be Doing
- Define and evolve embedded software architecture across Free RTOS and Linux
- Develop hard real-time C/C++ software for deterministic processing and control
- Build and tune embedded Linux systems for time-sensitive applications
- Develop device drivers, BSPs, hardware abstraction layers, and low-level interfaces
- Support sensor, actuator, camera, and FPGA-connected hardware integration
- Lead architecture and design reviews
- Mentor engineers and help establish strong software engineering standards
- Support hardware bring-up, debugging, automated testing, and qualification activities
