Job Description

Embedded Software Engineer (Rust, C/C++, Python) 

Location: Redmond, WA - On-Site 

Job Type: Contract 

Experience Level: Mid-Level 

About the Role 

We are seeking a skilled Embedded Software Engineer with expertise in Rust, C/C++, and Python to develop high-performance firmware and embedded systems. You will work on cutting-edge projects involving real-time systems, low-level hardware interactions, and secure embedded applications. If you are passionate about writing efficient and safe code for resource-constrained environments, we'd love to hear from you! 

Responsibilities 

  • Develop, test, and optimize embedded software in Rust, C, and C++ for microcontrollers, real-time systems, and SoCs. 
  • Write Python scripts for automation, testing, and hardware communication. 
  • Work with RTOS, bare-metal firmware, and device drivers to develop robust and efficient embedded solutions. 
  • Collaborate with hardware engineers to design software-hardware interfaces. 
  • Implement low-level peripheral drivers (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, USB, etc.) and optimize system performance. 
  • Ensure memory safety and performance in embedded systems using Rust's strong safety features. 
  • Develop and maintain unit tests, integration tests, and debugging tools. 
  • Work with version control systems (Git) and CI/CD pipelines to streamline development. 

Required Qualifications 

  • Proficiency in Rust, C, and C++ for embedded development. 
  • Experience with Python for scripting, automation, and hardware testing. 
  • Strong understanding of embedded system architectures, real-time constraints, and low-level hardware interactions. 
  • Experience with microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M, RISC-V, AVR, etc.) and embedded development tools. 
  • Familiarity with RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr) or bare-metal programming. 
  • Experience working with debugging tools (GDB, JTAG, SWD) and logic analyzers. 
  • Solid knowledge of memory management, concurrency, and embedded security principles. 
  • Proficiency with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and software development best practices. 

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Experience with Rust-based embedded frameworks like Embassy, RTIC, or TockOS. 
  • Knowledge of Linux kernel development, device drivers, or Yocto/Buildroot. 
  • Exposure to machine learning on edge devices or low-power IoT development. 
  • Familiarity with functional safety standards (ISO 26262, IEC 61508) and cybersecurity in embedded systems. 
  • Experience with wireless protocols (BLE, Zigbee, LoRa, Wi-Fi).
