Embedded Software Engineer

Responsibilities

• Integrate industrial hardware, from standard PLCs to specialized instrumentation, navigating complex register maps and standard protocols.
• Reverse-engineer "black box" hardware behavior when vendor documentation falls short, treating datasheets as hypotheses rather than facts.
• Implement Hardware Abstraction Layers (HALs) that encapsulate complexity behind intuitive, type-safe APIs.
• Write portable, high-performance Rust code targeting Linux userspace today but designed to be architecture-agnostic.
• Own the physical boundary using logic analyzers and oscilloscopes to drive troubleshooting to the absolute root cause.
• Treat system reliability as a safety requirement, rigorously validating code to prevent failures that could result in physical damage or dangerous behavior.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 3+ years of professional experience in systems programming (C/C++/Rust) or embedded software development.
• High proficiency in Rust, C, or C++, with a willingness to work primarily in Rust.
• Strong understanding of Linux internals, including sockets, syscalls, and kernel-to-userspace data flow.
• Ability to interpret electrical schematics, datasheets, and timing diagrams to translate hardware behavior into code.
• Experience implementing and debugging industrial protocols (e.g., Modbus, TCP/IP, SPI, I2C, CAN, UART, RS-485).
• Proficiency with hardware debugging tools like logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and packet sniffers.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience shipping production code in Rust.
• Experience writing Rust in no_std environments.
• Deep familiarity with Modbus, EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, PROFINET, or IO-Link.
• Relentless root-cause mindset that refuses to accept flaky behavior.
• Intuitive grasp of latency costs, timing requirements, and determinism.
