Sr. Embedded Software Engineer

The Senior Embedded Software Developer will design, develop, and implement complex device drivers; the ideal candidate will have a strong background in software engineering and a deep understanding of embedded development. As a Senior Embedded Software Developer, you will be responsible for developing software specifications, designing software architecture, coding, testing, and debugging software for the battery management system.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and continuously improve embedded software solutions for next-generation Battery Management Systems (BMS)
• Own end-to-end software specification development, translating system-level requirements into clear, testable software requirements and architecture documents
• Write, review, and maintain high-quality production code primarily in embedded C for resource-constrained embedded targets, with a strong focus on safety, reliability, and real-time performance
• Partner closely with hardware, systems, and application engineering teams to deliver software that meets stringent customer and regulatory quality standards
• Define and execute comprehensive test strategies — including unit, integration, and testing — and be able to drive systematic root-cause analysis on field issues and software defects
• Conduct code reviews and elevating overall team capabilities
• Work autonomously on complex, technical challenges — taking full ownership from problem definition through delivery — while proactively communicating status and risks to stakeholders

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in software engineering and a deep understanding of embedded development, in addition to:

• Expert-level proficiency in C for embedded tar
• Exceptional problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly across disciplines
