ROLE PURPOSE

We're looking for an embedded software developer to join our R&D team in Waterloo. You'll develop the embedded software that runs on our industrial communication products - PCIe interface cards and PLC communication modules - from initial investigation, design, and specification through to testing, user documentation, and conformance.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Develop and maintain embedded C software for our industrial communication products, on bare-metal and RTOS targets.
Integrate and port industrial protocol stacks - EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and others - onto our platforms, and develop new product-specific features.
Write the specifications and design documents for what you build, and help develop the test plans that prove it works.
Utilize and maintain the automated build and test pipelines that keep our releases reliable.
See verification and validation through - analyze failures, find root causes, and close them out.
Work closely with hardware, test, and product management, and keep the team informed on where your work stands.

QUALIFICATIONS

Experience with Git, CMake, or Make.

Preferred

Hands-on experience with industrial protocols such as EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, or DeviceNet.
Porting a third-party communication stack to a new platform.
PCIe device or driver development.
Experience integrating AI coding assistants into your day-to-day workflow to streamline development.
PLCs and their engineering tools environments (Rockwell, Siemens, etc.).
CI for embedded software.
MISRA-C, CERT-C.
Embedded cybersecurity (secure boot, signed updates).

KEY COMPETENCIES

Fluent in written and spoken English, with the ability to collaborate across our international R&D organization.
Comfortable owning your work end to end, from initial investigation and design through testing and conformance.

WHY JOIN US

Real products, shipped worldwide, that you own end to end.
Deep expertise in industrial communication - specialized, rare, and durable.
An experienced local team, inside an international R&D organization.
A hybrid schedule from our Waterloo office.
