Software & Firmware Engineering Experts

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for Software & Firmware Engineering Experts based in India. This is a hands-on engineering opportunity for experienced professionals working at the intersection of software, firmware, digital hardware, and real-world physical systems. You will apply deep technical expertise to complex engineering and AI research initiatives involving embedded systems and hardware-connected software. The role spans areas such as embedded firmware, FPGA/RTL, flight software, hardware test automation, and system-level integration. You will evaluate architectures, implementation decisions, testing approaches, and failure modes under real-world hardware constraints. Your practical experience in development, hardware bring-up, debugging, verification, validation, and deployment will directly inform technically rigorous engineering work. The opportunity is particularly suited to engineers who enjoy solving complex problems and applying production-grade engineering judgment. You will work remotely and contribute your expertise to projects designed to advance the capabilities of AI systems in sophisticated engineering domains. Accountabilities: - Apply hands-on software, firmware, and digital hardware expertise to technically complex engineering tasks involving real physical systems. - Review and evaluate embedded firmware, FPGA/RTL designs, flight software, test automation frameworks, hardware interfaces, and system-level engineering workflows.

- Analyze architecture and implementation trade-offs involving real-time performance, timing, memory, compute resources, interfaces, reliability, fault handling, concurrency, and hardware/software integration. - Assess the technical correctness, robustness, scalability, and practical feasibility of engineering solutions for embedded and hardware-connected systems. - Identify implementation errors, incorrect assumptions, race conditions, timing issues, interface failures, resource constraints, and other system-level failure modes. - Develop or review technically rigorous engineering problems, reference implementations, test cases, evaluation criteria, and supporting technical documentation. - Apply practical experience across software development, system integration, hardware bring-up, debugging, verification, validation, test automation, and deployment. - Provide clear, technically grounded feedback based on real-world engineering experience and production hardware constraints. - Evaluate engineering approaches and solutions with consideration for reliability, performance, maintainability, and hardware/software interactions. Requirements: - 5+ years of professional experience in software, firmware, FPGA, embedded systems, or a closely related engineering discipline, including at least 3 years of recent, hands-on experience working with real hardware. - Demonstrated experience taking responsibility for production hardware-connected software or firmware across meaningful stages of the lifecycle, from requirements and architecture through implementation, integration, bring-up, verification, debugging, and deployment. - Deep technical expertise in at least one core area: embedded firmware and real-time systems; FPGA/RTL design and verification; flight software and safety- or mission-critical systems; or hardware test automation and hardware-in-the-loop infrastructure. - Strong practical command of relevant technologies such as C/C++, Python, RTOS, bare-metal development, device drivers, bootloaders, embedded Linux, SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, Ethernet, Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL, FPGA toolchains, telemetry, and automated test systems, as applicable to your specialization.
