📋 Description

• Develop, code, test, and debug new embedded software or enhancements to existing software for third-party customers and internal product lines. • Work from specifications with limited guidance to design and modify moderately complex software applications, tools, and utilities. • Apply software design theories, engineering principles, and scientific methods to create robust, maintainable embedded solutions. • Modify existing software packages to meet unique customer configurations and requirements. • Validate successive software versions to ensure proper integration with system hardware. • Bring up embedded software on new hardware platforms, including initialization and verification of microcontrollers, memory, clocks, interrupts, communication interfaces and peripheral devices. • Develop, integrate and debug low-level drivers and board support software for interfaces such as UART, SPI, I2C, ADC, USB, Ethernet, GPIO, etc. • Provide technical input to project schedules, development estimates, software-related planning activities and team training needs. • Coordinate technical activities with cross-functional project teams and communicate software scope, status, risks, and technical issues clearly. • Document designs, changes, and engineering analyses thoroughly and professionally. • Determine test and analysis requirements to validate product reliability, performance, and parameter control. • Conduct or coordinate tests to evaluate failure limits, environmental susceptibility, component reliability, and overall product safety. • Participate in the design of product test equipment or production test systems when needed. • Interpret test results and translate findings into actionable engineering decisions. • Develop and execute bring-up, integration, and regression test plans for new hardware and firmware. • Diagnose issues related to startup behavior, communication failures, timing issues, memory, and interaction between firmware and hardware. • Resolve software-related user complaints and respond to suggestions for improvements or enhancements. • Assist in the development of software user manuals and technical documentation. • Collaborate with technical staff to diagnose and resolve software issues. • Drive the electrical/software design process from concept through manufacturing release, including creative concept development, detailed design, mathematical and scientific verification, prototype build and evaluation, engineering documentation, and production transition. • Work closely with electrical engineering during schematic review, component selection and prototype bring-up to ensure software readiness and efficient debug.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Software, Electrical, Computer Engineering, or related discipline required). • Minimum of 4 years of relevant experience in embedded software development or related engineering roles. • Proficiency in embedded programming languages (e.g., C/C++), version control (Git/Github) and real-time operating environments (FreeRTOS, MQX). • Strong understanding of hardware/software integration and system level design. • Ability to work independently across design, coding, testing, debugging, implementation, and documentation phases. • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills. • Experience supporting manufacturing, field teams, or customer applications is a plus. • Demonstrated experience with new board bring-up, including debug of low-level hardware/software issues on prototype hardware. • Ability to read and work from schematics, datasheets, reference manuals and interface documentation. • Experience with embedded debug tools such as JTAG debuggers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and serial/protocol analysis tools. • Experience integrating communication and connectivity technologies such as Bluetooth/BLE, UART, SPI, I2C, USB, or Ethernet. • This role requires quarterly travel to our Fairmont, MN facility, with the possibility of additional onsite visits depending on project-specific needs.
