Apply Agile development practices, including task tracking, sprint planning, and progress reporting using tools such as Jira.
Create and maintain technical documentation for BSP components, drivers, and system-level features.
Use scripting (e.g., Python) and automation to support testing, validation, and acceptance testing of BSP and OS components.
Follow software development best practices and coding standards, including MISRA-related concepts where applicable.
Participate in critical investigations across the platform to ensure system robustness and high-quality customer experiences.
Contribute to continuous improvement of development processes, tools, and debugging methodologies within the team.

Essential Skills

Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a similar scientific field.
Minimum 3+ years of embedded software development experience.
3+ years of experience working on operating systems, kernel, drivers, and core services such as file systems, graphics, networking, USB, and WiFi.
Strong hands-on C/C++ programming skills at an experienced level.

Strong understanding of embedded operating system concepts and hardware-software interaction.
Experience working with Linux operating systems in an embedded context.
Experience developing software for embedded multicore systems.
Ability to perform detailed debugging, issue reproduction, and root-cause analysis for OS and BSP-level issues.
Experience working in a production software environment with real-world deployments.
Familiarity with Agile development processes and tools for tracking work (e.g., Jira or similar).
Strong analytical skills, especially in root-causing and troubleshooting system-level issues at OS and BSP layers.
Excellent written and oral communication skills to collaborate effectively with distributed teams.
Demonstrated passion for solving complex technical problems, often with limited initial information.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Knowledge of QNX operating systems; QNX experience is considered a strong asset.
Experience with Python scripting at a mid level, particularly for automation and testing.
Familiarity with software development best practices and coding standards, including MISRA-related concepts.
Experience with automated scripting and acceptance testing for embedded systems.
Exposure to Qualcomm-based platforms.
