Job DescriptionJob Description

About the Role:
Pay: $110,000.00 - $140,000.00 per year

We are looking for a highly motivated Embedded Software Engineer to join our engineering team developing LED message signs and control systems for the transportation industry. These signs are installed over highways and play a critical role in public safety and traffic management.

You’ll work on both bare-metal microcontroller platforms and embedded Linux systems, contributing to both new development and ongoing improvements to existing, mission-critical codebases. The ideal candidate values robust, high-reliability software design, and enjoys working close to the hardware in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware and software in C/C++
• Contribute to and maintain existing codebases, ensuring stability, clarity, and documentation
• Develop bare-metal firmware for microcontrollers used in LED sign controllers and communication modules
• Build and integrate Linux-based embedded applications, including drivers and middleware for sign control and monitoring
• Work with hardware teams to understand schematics and ensure reliable hardware/software integration
• Debug hardware/software issues using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG
• Design software with long-term reliability, diagnostics, and field maintainability in mind
• Ensure compliance with transportation and industry standards for robustness and safety
• Write and maintain technical documentation, including software design and test procedures

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
• 3+ years of embedded software development experience
• Proficiency in C and C++ in embedded environments
• Experience with bare-metal microcontroller development (e.g., ARM Cortex-M, PIC, STM32, etc.)
• Experience with embedded Linux systems (e.g., kernel modules, device drivers, user-space application programming)
• Familiarity with version control (e.g., Git) and working in shared codebases
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, both in software and at the hardware interface level
• Understanding of low-level hardware interfaces: I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, PWM, etc.
• Strong emphasis on code quality, reliability, and maintainability

Qualifications:

• Experience with transportation or safety-critical systems
• Familiarity with communication protocols used in ITS, such as NTCIP, SNMP, RS-485
• Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS) or custom scheduler designs
• Experience with robust field-update mechanisms (e.g., bootloaders, OTA updates)
• Knowledge of power management, watchdog timers, and fail-safe system design
• Experience with scripting (Python, Bash) for testing or automation
• Exposure to EMI/EMC considerations in embedded design

What We Offer:

• Competitive compensation and full benefits package
• Opportunity to work on public safety systems with real-world impact
• Flexible work environment with room for professional growth
• Collaborative team that values engineering excellence and accountability
• A chance to help shape the future of intelligent transportation infrastructure
