Embedded Tools Engineer

About the Team

The Embedded Tools Team develops and supports infrastructure for embedded software development. Our responsibilities include developing and supporting continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for in-house electronic hardware devices, developing software for firmware deployment, and participating in the design and development of a specialized acceptance test system used at our manufacturing site. We are a pragmatic team that prioritizes sound engineering and collaboration.

About the Role

What You'll Do

• Design, develop, and maintain continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems for our embedded software, which is developed specifically for in-house built electronic hardware. This will streamline the software build, test, deployment, and usage processes.
• Create tools for testing, diagnostics, and management of embedded systems.
• Work with hardware and other software teams to ensure everything works well together.
• Monitor infrastructure performance and implement improvements to enhance stability and efficiency.
• Provide support to development teams by answering questions and resolving issues related to the embedded firmwares CI/CD process, builds and development flow.

What You'll Need

• CI/CD & Automation: Practical experience designing and maintaining workflows in GitHub Actions.
• Python (High Proficiency): Most of the tooling, diagnostic servers, and firmware update logic are written in Python. should have deep experience with both Asyncio and Hardware Interaction including proven experience using pyserial, python-can, and smbus2.
• Modern Build Systems: Hands-on experience with Bazel and Nix for reproducible builds and package management.
• C++ & Systems Programming: Ability to read, interpret, and debug C++ firmware code.
• Scripting: Proficiency in Bash for low-level system configuration and hardware initialization scripts.
• Technical Literacy: Ability to interpret complex technical documentation and electrical schematics to understand hardware and plan software architecture.
• Interface Protocols: Deep understanding of standard communication interfaces, specifically CAN, UART, Ethernet, and I2C.
• Ownership: A highly responsible, organized, and methodical approach to problem-solving.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Unix-like environments, command-line tools, and automation.
• Knowledge of isolation and virtualization techniques, particularly Linux containers and Docker.
• Experience in building and scaling CI/CD automation and infrastructure management.
• Knowledge of Linux distribution management, particularly Ubuntu and NixOS (the latter is a significant plus).
• Experience with various software build systems (Bazel, CMake).
• Familiarity with DevOps practices, including CI/CD processes on GitHub, AWS, and Kubernetes for cloud infrastructure.
• Skills with soldering equipment.
• Experience in the automotive industry (CAN, DBC, ISO TP, UDS, DoIP).
