About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Provide hands-on technical leadership for the architecture, design, development, work product reviews, and sustainment of low-level embedded software
- Design and deliver device drivers, BSPs, bootloaders, hardware abstraction layers, and low-level platform services
- Define scalable, reusable, and maintainable solutions across product families
- Create and review requirements, interface specifications, and design documents
- Develop and sustain drivers for UART, SPI, I²C, GPIO, timers, watchdogs, RTC, ADC/DAC, DMA, Ethernet, USB, CAN, flash memory, and processor-specific peripherals
- Perform board bring-up and hardware-software integration
- Collaborate with hardware engineers on schematic reviews, component selection, FPGA interfaces, memory configuration, timing, and prototype validation
- Analyze and optimize interrupt latency, task scheduling, memory usage, throughput, boot time, CPU utilization, DMA operation, determinism, and system reliability
- Contribute to requirements analysis, estimation, architecture, detailed design, coding, peer reviews, unit testing, integration testing, system validation, release, and sustaining activities
- Diagnose complex hardware-software problems using JTAG, trace tools, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, memory dumps, and system logs
- Drive corrective and preventive actions for product, manufacturing, and field issues
- Incorporate secure coding, defensive design, least-privilege access, secure update, fault detection, diagnostics, and applicable functional-safety and product-security requirements
- Work with global cross-functional teams and participate in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, reviews, retrospectives, technical reviews, and release-readiness activities
- Evaluate new processors, RTOS capabilities, tools, and development methods
- Build proofs of concept and improve software reuse
- Coach team members and provide technical guidance
- Adhere to Emerson engineering processes, quality systems, product lifecycle practices, and applicable standards and procedures
