Embedded Software Engineer

Overview

Embedded Software Engineer

About the Role: We are seeking a highly skilled and hands-on C/C++ Developer to join our team for an exciting role focused on code optimization and platform porting. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in optimizing C/C++ code, working with memory profiling, and porting code across different hardware platforms, particularly focusing on Qualcomm boards and other embedded systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Code Optimization: Work on optimizing C/C++ code for performance, memory usage, and power efficiency.
• Platform Porting: Port code from one hardware platform to another (e.g., Qualcomm to other embedded systems), ensuring cross-platform compatibility and optimal performance.
• Memory Profiling: Use memory profiling tools to analyze and optimize memory usage and system resource consumption.
• System Tuning: Analyze system bottlenecks and implement solutions to improve overall system performance (e.g., CPU, memory, and power).
• Debugging & Troubleshooting: Identify and debug performance issues related to system hardware, software interactions, and memory management.
• Collaboration: Work closely with hardware engineers to understand platform constraints and ensure efficient code execution on target devices.
• Testing & Validation: Conduct thorough testing and validation of optimized code on different platforms, ensuring robustness and stability across various use cases.
• Documentation: Maintain proper documentation for optimization techniques, platform porting, and code changes.

Required Skills:

• C/C++ Programming: Strong hands-on experience with C and C++ programming languages, including low-level optimizations and debugging.
• Embedded Systems: Solid understanding of embedded system architecture, particularly working with Qualcomm SoCs or other similar embedded platforms.
• Memory Profiling & Optimization: Experience using memory profiling tools (e.g., Valgrind, gprof, or similar) to identify and optimize memory issues.
• Cross-Platform Porting: Experience porting code between different hardware platforms, with expertise in managing platform-specific dependencies and constraints.
• Performance Tuning: Strong background in optimizing code for system performance, including CPU cycles, memory, and power consumption.
• Multithreading & Concurrency: Familiarity with parallel programming, multi-core optimization, and synchronization mechanisms in embedded systems.
• Version Control: Experience using version control systems (e.g., Git) for source code management.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Degree: B.Tech in Computer Science, Electronics, or a related field.
• Experience with Platforms: Hands-on experience working with Qualcomm processors or similar embedded platforms.
• Linux/RTOS: Familiarity with Linux or Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) in embedded environments.
• Toolchain Knowledge: Familiarity with embedded development toolchains such as GCC, Clang, and debugging tools like GDB.
• Profiling Tools: Experience with advanced profiling and debugging tools like Valgrind,perf, oprofile, and memory leak detectors.

Personal Attributes:

• Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
• Eagerness to stay updated with the latest trends in embedded systems, optimization techniques, and new hardware platforms.
