We are looking for a hands-on Embedded Tech Lead to manage a team of 2-3 engineers specializing in low-level embedded development, as part of the embedded team. This role involves low-level SW design on complex HW & Logic, board- and platform-level prototyping, and tight integration with FPGA/RTL logic.
You will collaborate closely with hardware, FPGA/RTL, software, and system teams across multiple sites to deliver cutting-edge embedded solutions that power quantum control systems.
Responsibilities
Lead and mentor a team of 2-3 low-level embedded engineers within the broader embedded development team.
Drive board-level and platform-level prototyping, bring-up, and validation for new embedded platforms.
Develop, integrate, and maintain low-level drivers and system-level embedded software.
Collaborate with FPGA/RTL team to integrate logic components into the embedded platform.
Own and execute system bring-up activities, including debugging HW/Logic/SW interfaces.
Take part in system-level architecture and cross-team design definitions.
Conduct technical reviews, establish best practices, and help shape the direction of the low-level embedded domain.
Requirements: Must-Haves
5+ years of RT-os / Embedded-OS / Linux system programming.
Hands-on embedded systems experience.
Lab bring-up experience (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, board bring-up, HW debugging)
Multi-threaded application & framework development, in C/C++ and python.
Driver-level development and experience with embedded interfaces (PCIe, AXI, I2C, SPI, UART)
Experience maintaining production-quality code for large systems.
Strong understanding of software architecture and system design patterns.
Prior experience guiding or mentoring engineers (tech lead responsibilities within a team)
B.Sc. or higher in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent.
Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams.
Advantages
Formal management experience
Analog/RF experience
System design/architectural experience
Experience integrating RTL/FPGA components with embedded systems.
This position is open to all candidates.
