Embedded Firmware Engineer

Type: Full-Time

Location: Bangalore

Role Overview

• Contribute to algorithm development and implementation for sensing, estimation, and control pipelines (as applicable to IMU/INS/flight systems)
• Own and execute embedded firmware development for inertial navigation systems, IMUs, flight controllers, and GNSS products
• Work closely with hardware engineers during board bring-up, integration, and field testing
• Build reliable, production-grade firmware for real-world deployment
  
  

Key Responsibilities

• Implement and optimize embedded algorithms (filtering, compensation, estimation/control buildingblocks) on resource-constrained targets
• Develop across common microcontroller ecosystems (e.g., ST, TI, Microchip – exact families project-dependent)
• Design, implement, and debug embedded firmware in C/C++
• Develop drivers for SPI, I2C, UART, CAN and related interfaces
• Implement bare-metal or RTOS-based real-time systems
• Develop test, calibration, and diagnostic firmware
• Debug complex issues using JTAG, logs, oscilloscopes, and logic analysers
• Support lab testing, field trials, and iterative product improvement
  
  

Required Qualifications

• Experience implementing software/firmware algorithms in C++ (embedded) and Python (prototyping, tooling, test automation)
• Hands-on experience with microcontroller platforms/ecosystems such as ST, TI, Microchip (or equivalent)
• 4–6 years of hands-on embedded firmware development experience
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ and embedded systems fundamentals
• Experience working directly with hardware
• Good understanding of real-time systems and low-level debugging
• Strong ownership mindset and ability to work independently
  
  

Preferred Skills

• Practical exposure to algorithm-to-firmware workflow: prototype in Python, validate on data, then deploy in embedded C/C++
• Experience with RTOS such as FreeRTOS or Zephyr
• Exposure to navigation systems, sensor data handling, or control systems
• Experience in drones, robotics, automotive, aerospace, or defence projects
• Familiarity with PX4, ArduPilot, or MAVLink
