Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain embedded software using C and established software architecture and coding standards.
- Develop and debug real-time embedded software using RTOS tasks, scheduling, synchronization, and inter-task communication.
- Apply software design and object-oriented programming principles to create modular, reusable, and maintainable code.
- Use Linux command-line tools, process and thread concepts, build environments, and debugging workflows.
- Participate in requirements analysis, software design, implementation, code reviews, testing, and release activities.
- Diagnose software issues using debugging tools, logs, traces, and target-hardware observations; perform root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
- Integrate software with hardware peripherals, device drivers, communication interfaces, and other product components.
- Develop and execute unit, integration, and regression tests covering boundary cases, error handling, and timing scenarios.
- Maintain technical documentation, design descriptions, test evidence, and software change records.
- Collaborate with system, hardware, verification, and global engineering teams to deliver software on schedule.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Embedded Systems, or a related field.
- 4–5 years of relevant experience in embedded software development for real-time or resource-constrained systems.
- Strong hands-on Embedded C programming skills, including pointers, memory management, data structures, bitwise operations, and low-level debugging.
- Understanding of RTOS scheduling, priorities, interrupts, semaphores, mutexes, queues, and timing constraints.
- Knowledge of object-oriented programming concepts; C++ exposure is desirable.
- Working knowledge of Linux fundamentals, shell commands, processes, threads, file systems, and software build and debug workflows.
- Experience with embedded debugging tools, compilers, build systems, version control, and source-code review practices.
- Understanding of microcontrollers, peripheral interfaces, device drivers, and hardware-software interaction, including GPIO, ADC, PWM, timers, and interrupts.
- Familiarity with UART, SPI, I²C, and Wi-Fi communication interfaces and protocols; TCP/IP basics are advantageous.
- Familiarity with unit testing, integration testing, regression testing, and software quality practices.
Benefits
- This is a future-opportunity talent-pipeline role and is not currently open; applicants may be considered for future opportunities matching their experience and aspirations.
- ABB welcomes people from all backgrounds and values diverse perspectives.
