About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Provide technical leadership for advanced embedded solutions across HP commercial PC platforms.
- Design, implement, integrate, and optimize embedded software, firmware, and device drivers.
- Lead the design, development, integration, and validation of embedded software and firmware.
- Translate system, customer, security, and platform requirements into software designs, interfaces, and implementation plans.
- Make technical decisions for complex problems involving performance, power, memory, security, reliability, cost, schedule, and maintainability.
- Collaborate with hardware, firmware, software, operating-system, silicon, security, manufacturing, supplier, and external development teams.
- Contribute to product and platform roadmaps by evaluating technologies and recommending solutions.
- Develop reusable software components, frameworks, tools, and engineering practices.
- Lead design and code reviews, identify technical risks and dependencies, and drive mitigation plans.
- Diagnose and resolve complex cross-layer issues involving firmware, hardware, performance, power, security, reliability, and interoperability.
- Serve as a technical resource for embedded systems and communicate recommendations to engineering, product, and program stakeholders.
- Work with silicon providers, suppliers, and development partners to resolve technical issues and meet product commitments.
- Create and maintain architecture specifications, design documentation, decision records, development guidance, and technical manuals.
- Mentor less-experienced engineers and promote disciplined engineering and problem-solving practices.
Requirements
What you’ll need- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Typically 12 years of progressive experience in embedded software, firmware, device-driver development, or a related discipline, including experience leading technically complex product deliverables.
- Strong experience designing and delivering structured embedded systems in bare-metal and RTOS environments.
- Experience developing modular, reusable, and scalable firmware architectures across products or subsystems.
- Experience developing secure, low-footprint, decentralized peer-to-peer systems; familiarity with emerging architectures is preferred.
- Strong knowledge of control-system design, performance optimization, and power- and resource-constrained systems.
- Experience designing fault-tolerant, resilient, and high-availability systems.
- Experience applying CI/CD, automated validation, code-quality, and release practices to embedded-system development.
- Experience developing embedded security solutions, including secure boot, cryptography, identity, security protocols, device onboarding, and lifecycle protection.
- Experience developing and integrating wireless protocol stacks; knowledge of multiple wireless technologies is preferred.
- Strong knowledge of device connectivity, interoperability, coexistence, provisioning, and manageability protocols.
- In-depth knowledge of hardware communication protocols and published specifications, with the ability to define interfaces and apply standards to new system designs.
- Demonstrated ability to resolve system-level interoperability issues spanning devices, operating systems, networks, cloud services, and partner ecosystems.
- Advanced embedded firmware development on Arm-based processors and SoC or MCU platforms.
- Advanced proficiency in C, with working knowledge of C++, Python, batch scripting, and command-line shells.
- Strong system-design and technical-decision skills, including the ability to evaluate tradeoffs across performance, power, memory, cost, security, reliability, and schedule.
- Experience with Git-based source control, code reviews, branching strategies, and collaborative development.
- Strong knowledge of bare-metal systems, bootloader architectures, RTOS concepts, concurrency, and multithreaded firmware development.
- Advanced embedded debugging using JTAG, SWD, trace tools, crash analysis, and system-level instrumentation.
- Experience with UART, I²C, SPI, and other hardware communication protocols.
- Ability to use logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, oscilloscopes, and related laboratory equipment.
- Strong knowledge of analog and digital electronics, including the ability to review schematics and collaborate on hardware design decisions.
- Ability to interpret technical specifications and datasheets and translate them into robust, production-ready firmware solutions.
