Embedded Solution Architect

Job Description:

We are looking for an experienced Embedded Systems Architect to lead the design and development of

embedded solutions across our product portfolio. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in

embedded software and hardware, with the ability to define system architecture, evaluate trade-offs, and guide engineering teams in building scalable and efficient embedded systems.

Key Responsibilities:

- Define and maintain architecture for embedded systems across multiple product lines.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, software, systems, QA, product management) to derive requirements and system-level designs.

- Select appropriate microcontrollers, SoCs, RTOSs, and communication protocols based on

application needs.

- Evaluate and make decisions on platforms, toolchains, middleware, and system integration.

- Develop and enforce coding standards, system security, and performance benchmarks.

- Conduct design reviews, risk analysis, and technical deep dives to support development teams.

- Mentor and guide junior embedded developers.

- Ensure compliance with industry standards (e.g., ISO 26262, IEC 61508, MISRA, etc. as relevant).

- Stay up to date on emerging technologies and trends in embedded systems.

Required Qualifications:

- Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems,

or related field.

- 15+ years of experience in embedded systems development, with at least 3 years in an

architectural or lead role.

- Strong expertise in embedded C/C++, ARM Cortex-M/R/A architectures, and RTOS (FreeRTOS,

Zephyr, etc.).

Experience with board bring-up, low-level drivers, peripheral integration (UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, USB,

etc.).

- Familiarity with system-level debugging tools (JTAG, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers).

- Strong understanding of system performance, power optimization, and real-time constraints.

- Proven experience designing firmware for safety-critical or resource-constrained environments.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience in domains like industrial control, medical devices, or IoT.

- Hands-on experience with secure boot, OTA updates, and firmware security best practices.

- Familiarity with Agile development methodologies and CI/CD in embedded workflows.

- Exposure to hardware design and schematic review is a plus.

- Knowledge of scripting languages (Python, Bash) and Linux embedded systems is desirable.

Soft Skills:

- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.

- Excellent communication and documentation abilities.

- Leadership and mentorship capability in a technical setting.

- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Tools & Technologies:

- Embedded toolchains (STM Cube, IAR, Keil, GCC, SEGGER, etc.)

- Version control (Git, SVN), Jira/Confluence

- Simulation and modelling tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink)

- Hardware debugging tools and in-circuit emulators
