Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced Firmware Developer with expertise in Board Support Package (BSP) and Bare Metal programming to join our team. The ideal candidate will have strong embedded software development experience, low-level driver development, and expertise in working with microcontrollers, processors, and real-time operating systems (RTOS).

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and customize Board Support Packages (BSP) for various embedded platforms.
• Design and implement Bare Metal firmware for microcontrollers and embedded systems.
• Develop and optimize low-level drivers for peripherals such as UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO, ADC, and Timers.
• Work with bootloaders and firmware upgrade mechanisms.
• Integrate and debug firmware on custom hardware platforms.
• Optimize performance, power consumption, and memory footprint for embedded systems.
• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to bring up new hardware platforms.
• Perform board-level debugging using tools such as JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
• Work with RTOS (such as FreeRTOS, Zephyr, etc.) or bare-metal systems as required.
• Ensure firmware reliability, maintainability, and scalability through proper documentation and best coding practices.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Bachelors/Masters degree in Electronics, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 6+ years of experience in firmware development for embedded systems.

• Hands-on experience in Bare Metal firmware development (without an OS).
• Good understanding of microcontrollers, SoCs, and hardware schematics.
• Experience with debugging tools such as JTAG, GDB, Lauterbach, and oscilloscopes.
• Knowledge of bootloader development, memory management, and low-level hardware interfacing.
• Exposure to communication protocols (UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, USB, Ethernet).
• Familiarity with RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, etc.) and scheduler concepts is a plus.
• Experience with version control systems (Git, SVN).

Good-to-Have:

• Exposure to Secure Boot, Trusted Execution Environments (TEE), or firmware security.
• Experience with Yocto/Linux BSP development.
• Understanding of power management techniques for embedded devices.
